Flying with a bike can be a hassle, but Evoc has used its years of globetrotting experience to ease the stress involved in packing up and protecting your ride.
The Bike Travel Bag is a compact, padded and wheeled solution for a road or mountain bike that you can pack down nearly flat when you get to your destination. Despite the soft shell, it's proven protective over many a plane flight for us, with removable internal ribs adding structure to the padded, reinforced sides.

Packing your bike is fairly straightforward: First, take off the wheels and stow each in its respective, padded outer compartment. Then remove the handlebars and secure them to the included top tube Velcro pad. Next, secure the fork in the padded, compression-strap front area and strap down the chainstays to the included, adjustable frame pad. Finally, secure the fork and frame to the back of the bag with the Velcro straps, and then zip everything up.
Even an extra long downhill mountain bike fits straight in. Saddle heights of up to 72cm can be accommodated complete, but larger bikes will need the seatpost removing.
Frame, wheels and handlebars are separated and protected from harm by the heavy-duty construction and cleverly placed padding and reinforcing ribs. The internal strapping system keeps everything in place and the bars can be firmly secured to the inside of the bag.
