Riders who travel with their bike a few times a year and want solid protection without the bulk and weight of a hard case.
The B&W bike.bag II combines a rugged ABS bottom tray with a padded ripstop polyester upper. The hard base protects the parts that are most likely to get damaged in transit, like your derailleur and chainrings, while the soft upper keeps the bag lighter than a full hard case and lets it fold down for storage.
It takes road, triathlon and mountain bikes up to 29 inch wheels. Inside you'll find built-in padding, a strap system to lock the frame in place, a padded, adjustable fork guard and two large wheel bags. A built-in servicing pad gives you somewhere to work when you rebuild the bike at the other end.
Four smooth-running casters (two swivel) and a pull handle make airports easy, with two carry handles for lifting into cars and vans. The two-way zip is lockable, and there's an outer pocket for tools and pedals. It won the German Design Award in 2020.
