Hybrid construction combines soft-shell flexibility with hard-shell protection elements. The Bike Travel Bag from EVOC uses a molded polycarbonate base with an extra-wide monoque wheel chassis, while the upper section uses reinforced ripstop nylon with 10mm of padding throughout. That design delivers protection for your bike while keeping the bag light enough that you can pack helmet, shoes, and tools without exceeding typical 50-pound airline weight limits.

The bag collapses nearly flat for storage or return travel. Removable support poles and struts in the upper section provide structure when the bag is packed but come out to reduce the collapsed dimensions to 138 x 25 x 37 cm. That folded profile fits in a car trunk or closet without consuming the space that rigid hard cases require. The wide-set replaceable skate wheels and aluminum slide rails running front to end create a stable platform when you're pulling the bag through airports or train stations.

Internal organization uses hook-and-loop straps that adjust to fit different frame sizes and geometries. A molded polycarbonate bike block secures the bottom bracket area and protects the chainring and rear derailleur. The reinforced fork mount holds the front of the bike, with additional padding at contact points. Separate padded wheel compartments on the exterior sides keep wheels from contacting the frame and add structural support to the bag. You remove the pedals, wheels, and handlebars to pack the bike, then use the strap system to secure everything in position.... Read More
