Trico’s Legendary Iron Case The ultra-strong Iron Case was designed and created to take the worry out of traveling with your bicycle – period! And it’s been providing worry-free bike travel for over 20 years. You can’t enjoy your biking plans if you don’t have the strongest, easiest-to-pack, and most-maneuverable bike carrier on this planet, and the Iron Case has the features and the longest track record to take the fretting out of your travel plans. Check it out. *Note: Some of the larger size road and triathlon bikes may not fit in this case. Please call for more information. Iron Case® bicycle carriers from Trico offer the best travel protection in the market. The vacuum formed multi-channel Triconium® shell achieves the highest possible strength/weight ratio – making the Iron Case not only bullet proof, but also lightweight (only 31 lbs.). The bicycle is cocooned in three layers of foam, requiring a minimal amount of dis-assembly. Only the wheels, pedals and seat post have to be removed on most bicycles (handlebars on some models). There’s also room to store aero bars, tools, helmet and a full wet suit. *Fully lockable
