Evoc Bike Travel Bag Multi-Color, One Size
Anyone who’s traveled with a bike has their share of horror stories — broken frames, misplaced wheels, cases left unzipped — not to mention the general unwieldiness of traveling with a bike. The Evoc Bike Travel Bag solves for most of these common issues, starting with its construction. Evoc found that the levels of protection offered by a hard case vs. a soft case were profoundly different until the cases were loaded with heavy items not typically encountered in airline travel, so it opted for a soft case for maneuverability and malleability. To pack the Evoc case, you remove the wheels and loosen and turn the handlebars. Padded straps hold the frame and fork in place, and separate wheel pockets, integrated into the case, hold the wheels. The Bike Travel Bag also features a variety of handles in intelligent locations to make hefting and moving the bag easier, and there are also inline skate wheels for when you’re running through the airport to make your flight. The Evoc Bike Travel Case will hold 29ers, TT bikes, road bikes, and cyclocross bikes without batting a proverbial eye.

I’d be hesitant an XL new geometry (long and slack) would fit, even with seat slammed down. I fit 29×2.5 tires in without too much trouble, but they must be aired down. All the mounting locations are in the right place and the system is pretty well thought out to be honest. There’s a good amount of pockets in the right places, and the straps are also in the right places. I had a very small…
Bad Idea Buying this bag is a great idea if you want to keep the dust off your bike, transport it in a van without a rack, or give it to a shipping service that will insure the contents and therefore handle it with care. If you want to put your bike on an airplane, particularly an international flight, you are better off using a cardboard box. After you pay for the bag and the airline’s charge you will be in for $650. For that sum you can rent a bike for quite a while, you might even be well on your…
