Rare opportunity to acquire a world-class MTB destination business in Derby, Tasmania
- Annual Revenue: $1.1M+ (average of 2026-2023)

This is a rare opportunity to acquire the longest-running and largest mountain bike tourism business in Derby, Tasmania, together with the freehold property. Established at the forefront of Derby's transformation into a world-class mountain biking destination, Vertigo MTB has become one of the most recognised and respected operators in the region, helping shape the visitor experience that attracts riders from across Australia and beyond.
The business benefits from multiple diversified revenue streams including premium mountain bike rentals, shuttle services, group bookings, workshop and servicing income, retail sales, and ex-rental bike sales. This broad income base provides resilience and allows the business to capture customer spending across multiple touchpoints throughout their Derby experience.
Included in the sale is a substantial fleet of premium Specialized mountain bikes, together with a comprehensive range of supporting operational assets. The bike fleet alone is valued at more than $170,000, while the shuttle buses, trailers, and associated infrastructure provide an established platform for immediate operation from day one.
Over more than a decade of operation, the business has built an exceptional reputation and a loyal customer base, generating strong repeat visitation from key tourism markets including South East Queensland and Sydney's Northern Beaches. The business also benefits from forward bookings already secured for the upcoming 2026-27 summer season, providing a new owner with immediate momentum.
One of the most attractive features of this opportunity is the limited day-to-day involvement currently required from the owner, who spends approximately four to seven hours per week overseeing operations. Supported by experienced staff and established systems, the business operates largely independently while still offering significant upside for an owner-operator seeking to become more involved and further expand revenue.
With Derby continuing to strengthen its position as one of Australia's premier mountain biking destinations, this business is exceptionally well placed to benefit from ongoing tourism growth. Opportunities to acquire a market-leading tourism business together with the underlying freehold property in such a tightly held location are exceptionally rare.
This is a quality tourism and lifestyle business combining a market-leading brand, diversified income streams, significant asset backing, experienced staff, strong forward bookings, and valuable freehold real estate in one of Australia's most recognised mountain biking destinations.
