Tandem Travel

There are many considerations when traveling with your tandem that should be discussed even before you purchase. The first consideration is whether to purchase a coupled bike or a traditional, non-coupled tandem. Here are our professional thoughts and personal experiences from traveling with our own tandem.

Tandem Bicycle Travel

What is a “Coupled Tandem”?

S&S Machine, a company in California, created the Bicycle Torque Couplers or BTC in 1994. Designed to allow your bike to come apart in sections, couplers allow you to pack your tandem bike into cases for easy airline travel. (Note: bikes with couplers are NOT the same as bikes that fold.) The BTCs add minimal weight to your bike, with no compromise in ride quality. We have never seen a single problem with the couplers.

In our opinion, these couplers are truly engineering marvels. As a leading dealer for Co-Motion tandems, we have sold more coupled bikes than we can count. It’s a terrific option to consider, if you have any notion of traveling with your tandem. Keep in mind that a traditional tandem frame cannot be retrofitted with couplers.

Do Couplers Affect Ride Quality?

No! Many customers ask if there is additional frame flex with a coupled bike. The couplers actually increase the frame stiffness. The ride quality on a coupled tandem is every bit the same as a tandem without couplers. We have never had a customer dissatisfied with the ride of their coupled bike.

How Much do Coupled Tandems Weigh?

Today’s coupled tandem bikes have a “no-lateral” design and only four (4) couplers are required; the additional weight is LESS than two (2) pounds!

How Much do Coupled Tandems Cost?

The price of coupled bikes depends upon many things. At Tandem Cycle Works, our coupled tandems start at just under $5,200 for the Co-Motion Primera Co-Pilot. The most popular bike we sell is the Co-Motion Carrera Co-Pilot. This bike is approximately $8,300. Yes, you can spend more on a coupled bike.

Both Co-Motion Cycles and Calfee Design offer coupled tandems. Both tandem builders offer models with couplers as an OPTION. The additional price of the couplers on a tandem adds $1,350 to $2,500 (depending on frame builder) to the price of the same bike without couplers. Remember that a frame without couplers cannot be retrofitted to add couplers at a later time.

We recognize this is a considerable sum. When spending this much, it is important to work with us at Tandem Cycle Works to make CERTAIN you are fitted properly, know all the options available to you, and that you have had the chance to see and ride a variety of tandem models. While there is a wealth of information online, you simply cannot ride a bike on the internet! Because of this, we have customers from around the world who recognize the value of our expertise in making this very important purchase.

What do the Airlines Charge to Fly with a Tandem?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get and it’s really a two-part answer, depending on whether you have a coupled tandem or a non-coupled one.

Flying with a Coupled Travel Tandem: Cases are All-Important!

We highly recommend the Original S&S Hard Cases that measure 26x26x10 inches, or 62 linear inches. They protect your tandem, from both the inside and outside. You will need 2 for your tandem. They may seem a bit pricey, but your bike is worth it! Remember that your vacation depends upon you AND your tandem arriving safely. These cases are NOT oversized and your bike in the cases will easily stay UNDER the 50-pound weight limit imposed by the airlines — provided you resist adding too many “extras” to the cases.

We have NEVER been charged additional luggage fees for flying with our bike. Our bike has NEVER been damaged in the cases. Please RE-READ those last 2 sentences. No charge. No damage. No kidding!

Protection from the Outside:

The Original S&S Hard Cases are very durable and have served us beautifully for many years, with no damage to our bike. Soft-sized cases can tear or rip quite easily. The shop’s previous owners, at one time rented a full-sized, soft-sided, Bike Pro case with hard plastic inserts. This is a very expensive full-sized tandem case. After the first rental, the case came back with tears in the fabric and one wheel ripped off.

On the other hand, we have watched baggage handlers THROW our hard-sided cases across the tarmac. Seriously! This struck fear into our hearts, as you can imagine. When we got to our destination and opened our cases with trepidation, much to our amazement our bike was perfectly fine.

Protection from the Inside:

The inside advantage of the hard cases focuses on plastic dowels called Compression Members. These are not used with soft-sided cases. Compression members protect your tandem from the inside-out. These plastic dowels with end caps are slightly wider than the cases. When you pack a tandem in the Original S&S hard cases, these compression members are placed inside the case and brace the case from the inside. So, when the baggage handlers toss your tandem around at the airport, the bike is protected and the compressions members take the brunt of the handling rather than YOUR BIKE.

Still not convinced that hard cases are the way to go?

Look at the photo at the top of this page. See the BLACK case toward the right of the picture? It is the ONE soft case among all those gray cases, which are the hard cases we prefer. Notice that it is covered with DUCT TAPE. Need we say more?

What We Have Learned

We have had ticket agents question us about the cases but we have never had to pay a penny extra. If the ticket agent indicates that the cases are oversized they are mistaken. The Original S&S Hard Cases we sell at Tandem Cycle Works are 26x26x10 inches (total linear dimensions of 62 inches). This is NOT oversized on any major airline, to our knowledge. Having said this, we have been challenged by ticket agents but when given the dimensions, they acquiesce. We think that because the cases are square in shape, ticket agents are concerned that the cases will not fit on the luggage belts. THEY WILL.

Case Weight, Contents, and the Devil is in the Details!

Case weight:.

When your bike is packed, each hard case weighs approximately 43-45 lbs.; the weight limit per bag is 50 lb. You WILL be charged if a piece of luggage exceeds 50 lbs. You must be careful to avoid exceeding the weight limit by packing too many extras into your cases. Make sure to weigh your cases after the bike has been packed, to ensure they stay under the 50 lb. weight limit.

Case Contents:

We make it a point to AVOID telling ticket agents that the cases contain a bike or a tandem. If asked, we simply say the cases contain “bike parts.” This is a true statement; the cases do indeed contain a bunch of bike parts! Customers have told us that sometimes ticket agents try to charge for travel with a bike, regardless of case size or weight. In the new era of airline fees, we think it best to NOT use the “B” or the “T” word!

More Details:

We recommend that you print the luggage size and weight information from the airline’s website on which you will travel and take this with you to the airport. If you are going somewhere where English is not the first language, we recommend you print the airline luggage info in the language of the country you visit. This is back-up in the event you have “discussions” with ticket agents since, when it comes to fees, the bottom line is that you are at the mercy of the ticket agent at the airport. Remember, too that you attract more bees with honey than vinegar!

Flying with a Non-Coupled Tandem: Be Prepared to Pay

You can fly with your NON-coupled tandem on all major airlines. The issue is not IF you will pay, but how much you will pay for this privilege. PLEASE NOTE: it is NOT cheaper to send the bike via freight or shipping company! This will only incur extra costs and time on your part.

Excess baggage fees that you will pay for non-coupled tandems are moving targets. You may pay $0 one way and several hundred dollars on your return trip. There is no rhyme or reason to this, so there is little value to calling ahead to determine these charges. The one thing that we will guarantee is that when you arrive at the airport the actual charges you pay will be different than those quoted to you on the phone. So don’t waste the time and energy trying to figure this out beforehand. Recently some customers reported to us a new high-water mark of $550 one-way to fly with their tandem on an international flight. OUCH! Coming home, however, the bike flew for free. Go figure.

Beyond the Airlines: Trains, Taxis, Hotels and Shipping Tandems

Train travel:.

Travel by train with a coupled tandem is a breeze. The cases are regular luggage, so there should be no issues with taking your tandem on trains.

Many newer high-speed trains, such as the TGV in France, cannot accommodate a non-coupled bike. If you have a non-coupled tandem, you must make certain to verify the type of train and their policies about bikes before your trip.

When you arrive with a packed coupled bike in a European city, you may need to request a larger taxi to transport you, your bike, and your other luggage to your first night’s hotel. We have found these larger taxis readily available. Many large cities also have shuttle services that can work well to get you to your destination.

With a non-coupled bike, a taxi or shuttle van is likely not possible. You may need to arrange special transport from the airport to your hotel after arrival and this will incur significantly more costs than a taxi from the airport. This should be scheduled in advance!

Case Storage:

When we travel by ourselves, we often ask hoteliers in our arrival or departure city if they will store our cases for us while we are off riding our tandem. Every time we have asked, the innkeepers have graciously agreed to store our bike cases, sometimes for more than two weeks.

We are certain this would not be possible with a full-sized tandem case. Many hotels overseas, particularly in large European cities, are cramped with very small lobbies, and space is at a premium. These hotels simply have no place to store the giant tandem case, which we affectionately call “the coffin.” If you travel with a non-coupled bike, do not make the assumption that a hotel will have space to store your large tandem case.

Case Shipping:

In the US, we have done point-to-point trips where we fly into one city, ride for a week or two, and then fly home from another city. On this type of trip, we arrange to ship the cases from our starting point to our ending destination. This is easy with the S&S hard cases. They can be sent via UPS for a very reasonable price. We always make it a point to let the innkeepers know our plan and this works beautifully. When we arrive at our destination, our bike cases are in our room, waiting for us.

UPS will not accept your full-sized tandem case. It is just too big.

Final Thoughts

Many customers have traveled on tours with their non-coupled bikes. After their first trip, we often see them at our shop, ready to buy a coupled tandem. These customers have seen firsthand how easy coupled tandems make the travel experience. Since they have been bitten by the travel bug, they are ready to make the move to a coupled tandem!

Advice How we test

Riding new roads and exploring different places bathed in warm sunshine is one of the great joys of cycling, but getting you and your bike there safely can be the most stressful part of a cycling holiday . Some riders choose to hire a bike whilst on holiday, but for others, part of the attraction is the opportunity to ride their familiar bike up famous climbs or through beautiful landscapes - no one wants a week of cycling spoiled by an ill-fitting bike or uncomfortable saddle.

If you decide to fly with your own bike, then you have the choice of using a hard box or a soft bag, each with pros and cons which we will investigate below. If you choose to drive to your destination instead, however, you can read our guides to the best bike racks for cars  and the  best caravan and motorhome bike racks .

Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 bike bag

Best overall

The AeroComfort's soft exterior houses a metal structure to which you fasten your frame so it's held securely. There is very little disassembly required and as the bag is pretty light there is plenty of potential to pack extra kit inside and still be within your airline's limits.

Read more below

Evoc bike travel bike bag

Best for ease of use

As the Evoc Bike Bag is soft, it's light and easy to store when not in use. There is plenty of padding provided to protect your bike when it's in the bag, and the large side opening makes it simple to put the bike in place.

LifeLine EVA Bike Pod against a white background

Best value 

Very light and compact, LifeLine's EVA Bike Pod also offers excellent value for money. Its semi-rigid design offers more protection than a soft bag but they are still quite flexible and as it only has two wheels it can be a little awkward to manoeuvre around an airport.

Orucase B2 bike travel case

Most portable

Another light option, the Orucase B2 even includes rucksack-style straps which are handy if you have packed very light. There is a fair bit of disassembly required though and it can feel a bit lopsided when wheeling it around.

Thule Roundtrip bike bag

Best with integrated stand

Thule's RoundTrip Pro XT bike bag uses an internal frame that can also double as a workstand whilst on holiday, which is very handy. It's more of a reinforced bag than a hard case though and as such is quite pricey.

VeloVault 2 bike box

Most robust

One of the heavier boxes available, the VeloVault2 provides very reassuring protection for your bike. Its quality construction and overall sturdiness will ensure that your lightweight carbon frame should emerge unscathed, but there might not be much weight allowance left once this gets on the scales.

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 Bike Bag with a bike packed away inside

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 Bike Bag

1. Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 Road Bike Travel Bag

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The AeroComfort 3.0 from Scicon is a firm favorite among the Cycling Weekly tech team. We've flown test bikes all over the world, and we like to use this carry case because it makes travelling by bike easy, hassle-free and incredibly quick. It takes just 15 minutes to pack the bike away, and even less time to put it back together.

How so? The outside is a soft, fabric bag, but inside you'll find a metal structure. You simply remove the wheels, loop your chain over a specially designed T-bar and use your quick releases to stand the bike on the metal frame, so it's immovable inside and thus a lot more secure. It couldn't be easier.

There's no need to remove anything aside from the wheels, the handlebars stay straight and don't need twisting. This does make the front end quite bulky, but we found that the protection is good, with a thick soft fabric, designated pockets for wheels, helmets and shoes, and most importantly the rear derailleur is kept off the ground.

Multi-coloured Evoc bike travel bag

Evoc bike travel bag

2. Evoc Bike Travel Bike Bag

Whilst hard cases give the ultimate reassurance that your bike is well protected, they also take up a lot of room when out of use, and, they're heavy - limiting your ability to pack kit alongside your bike and stay within airline limits.

Enter soft cases, and this Evoc bike bag is an excellent option. Yes, it offers less protection - but the Cycling Weekly team has used it to transport press bikes on plenty of occasions (NB, we once even used a cardboard box for a personal bike, the theory is that baggage handlers will be more careful!).

This Evoc Bike bag excels in terms of ease of use, too. The side opening makes getting the bike in a cinch, and the handy Velcro makes getting the parts in the right place a piece of cake. The newer model reviewed here now has a reinforced front zip, meaning it should last longer.

Read more: Evoc bike travel bike bag full review

LifeLine EVA Bike Pod

LifeLine EVA Bike Pod

3. LifeLine EVA Bike Pod

Although it's a reasonably compact bike box, the LifeLine Bike Pod will take a smaller-sized bike without too much disassembly. It rolls on two rear wheels, with two front feet to stand on. Quick-release wheels, although not wheels with thru-axles, can be secured to the outside of the case.

Our tester found that the LifeLine Bike Pod is relatively easy to move around, although since you have to lift the front end and the carrying handle doesn't let you wrap your hand through it, longer carries can be tiring. 

The sides of the bag are quite flexible, so it would be advisable to wrap wheels and frame well inside to prevent crushing. We were also concerned about how robust the feet would be and how well the zip would stand repeated use, but overall, the LifeLine Bike Pod is a relatively inexpensive option for the less frequent flyer.

Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case

Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case

4. Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case

We've taken the B2 bike case on several domestic and international flights and were left impressed. It sports many welcomed features, including backpack straps and a rollable chassis. Combined with its compact, space-saving size it makes for a sleek, highly portable and trustworthy bag that we think is a great option if space is limited or you'll be traveling on serval modes of transport during your trip.

We did find that it's not the easiest to pack, and required some disassembling of your bike - so you'll need to be confident of putting your bike back together once you've arrived. It's also far from cheap, but in our opinion, it's likely a worthy investment given the ease of portability and the posibbility to save on extra fees due to its smaller size.

Thule Round Trip Pro XT bike bag

Thule Round Trip Pro XT bike bag

5. Thule RoundTrip Pro XT Bike Bag

The Thule RoundTrip Pro XT falls into the not-quite-a-bike-bag category. It's a softshell but has some structural implants that should keep your bike safe through the worst of it.

However, the bag does have some weak areas and for the price you pay this doesn't induce confidence. But, maybe we're being picky. This is a solid purchase, undoubtedly, and we always add extra bubble wrap around our frames, whatever we're packing them into.

The base, which holds the bike static in the case, can have three legs added, transforming it into a workstand for when you get to your destination - which is a rather 'nice to have' too.

Blue Velovault2 bike box

Blue Velovault2 bike box

6. VeloVault2 bike box

We really liked the VeloVault2 bike box when we had it in for test. It's big and robust, which is what many cyclists need to achieve peace of mind when flying with a bike.

However, weighing in at 12.5kg means it should sneak under most airline weight controls. The company has sweated the small stuff, too: the clasps are quality, it's easy to close and it rolls well.

VeloVault2 bike box has a new carrying handle, longer wheelbase, improved strut design and it is roof box ready. Oh, and it's now bright blue... other colours are available if that's not to your liking.

How do I pack a bike into a bike bag or box?

Packing the bike into the bag or box sometimes takes quite a bit more effort than expected. The process may differ slightly depending on the specific box or bag, but the general process goes something like:

- Remove the pedals - Partially deflate tires and remove the wheels - Remove the seatpost and saddle - Remove the handlebar from the stem or remove the handlebar and stem together from the steerer - Undo rear derailleur (but leave it on the chain) - Secure the frame and components in the box via the manufacturer-approved method - Pack the tools required to rebuild the bike!

There are a few more mechanical adjustments you might make, and if you’re handy with a spanner they shouldn't cause too much grief. For example, you might have to remove the chainset. This will keep it protected en route but it’s worth bearing in mind that you’ll have to reassemble it when you arrive on your hols, so if you're no spanner wizard it might be best to avoid this. It may also mean packing extra tools, which means extra weight to carry around.

Best bike bags vs best bike boxes: which is better?

You might think this is an easy question: it's surely a box, right? However, that's probably before you’ve taken weight into consideration.

A lighter weight bike bag influences two things: how comfortable it is to carry and lug about but also how much of your baggage allowance it eats into - and how much the baggage supplement might be.

The trade off is in the level of protection: a hard flight case like box is going to take the knocks better than a soft bag. That said, soft bike bags will usually protect your bike from the worst of it and they also tend to be cheaper than bike boxes.

There is an in between option. The best bike bags tend to have some more structural inserts inside but retain more of a bag's lightweight nature. Other bike bags can have nifty, in-built storage techniques. For example, some have built-in dropouts that allow you to stand your frame upright and hold it tight.

Do I need to add extra padding to my bike bag?

Regardless of how tough your bag or box might be, you’ll definitely want to pad the important parts inside it. We’d recommend bubble wrap and foam piping. If you’re lucky, your local bike shop might have excess from all the bikes they get sent in. Don't forget to put it around the frame in places where other items in the box might rub against it.

Riding in the mountains

A good bike box or bag has to tread the line between providing the best protection for your bike and yet still being light, easy to carry and simple to pack. These boxes have been used to carry various bikes on multiple flights, being packed and unpacked several times each. They all protected the bikes from any transport damage and none were particularly difficult or awkward to pack but each has its advantages and disadvantages that may clinch the deal for you.

The Best Hard- and Softshell Cases For Traveling With Your Bike

Whether you want a light and stealthy case to avoid fees or a tough, hard-side case to protect your ride, you'll find it here.

Whether you’re planning to travel across the country or across the globe, a sturdy bike travel case or bag is a worthy investment. Your bike will be better protected—and you’ll have more peace of mind—than it will if you stuff it into a cardboard box and hope for the best. Here’s what you need to know.

Bike Box II

B&W International Bike Box II

Compact and tough plastic case and four smooth rolling wheels.

Airport Ninja

Orucase Airport Ninja

Requires more bike assembly, but less likely to incur a fee.

Bike Travel Bag Pro

travel Bike Travel Bag Pro

Securely holds modern 29er trail bikes with minimal disassembly.

AeroComfort 3.0 TSA

SCI-CON AeroComfort 3.0 TSA

This case lets you leave the pedals, bar, and seatpost in place.

RoundTrip Transition

Thule RoundTrip Transition

ABS plastic shell protects the bike inside. Comes with a repair stand.

Hardshell versus Softshell

Hardshell cases provide the highest level of protection against impacts, but they also weigh more, which can lead to even higher luggage fees. Hard cases also don’t break down, so they take up more room in a hotel room or rental car when not in use.

Bag, Luggage and bags, Baggage, Hand luggage,

Softshell cases have come a long way in recent years, and some offer nearly the same level of protection as hard-shell models. Softshell cases are usually lighter than hard-shell cases, and fold or roll down for easier storage.

Hard-shell cases usually rely on a rigid, outer shell—made from a type of plastic—for their protection. Most softshell cases are constructed from durable nylon and rely on padding to protect your bike.

Car seat, Gig bag, Motorcycle accessories, Bag, Vehicle,

Some softshell cases have a rigid internal frame that provides structure and protects the bike from crushing forces. There are also hybrid cases, which have a fabric exterior lined with foam and plastic sheets.

Auto part, Wheel,

Both types of cases often include additional padding for the frame, as well as straps to hold the frame and wheels in place.

Size and Weight

Pay attention to the size and weight of a bike case, particularly as it relates to the weight of the bike you plan to transport. Most airlines have a 50-pound weight limit before incurring an overweight fee. You need to factor in the weight of the case, the bike, and other items you’re considering throwing in there before selecting a case.

Hard-shell cases are more protective, but weigh more, leaving less for packing materials, bike, and gear. Softshell cases are lighter, which means you can pack a heavier bike without exceeding the limit but may offer less protection for your gear. The weight difference can be extreme: Thule’s Roundtrip Transition is made of ABS plastic and extremely rugged but weighs 38 pounds, while Orucase’s soft-sided Sub62 weighs just 13 pounds.

Most airlines have a dimensional limit of 62 linear inches—calculated by adding together the total length, width, and height of the bag. If an item of luggage is larger, it can incur an oversize-bag fee. Orucase’s Sub62 is smaller than 62 linear inches, so it should avoid an oversize fee, while Thule’s armored RoundTrip Transition measures over 106 linear inches and is almost certain to cost you extra.

Packing Tips and Tricks

Before choosing a case, have an idea of how much bike disassembly/assembly you’re comfortable with.

Cases like Scicon’s AeroComfort require very little wrenching to pack and unpack a bike but are larger and likely to incur a bike or oversize fee. A smaller and lighter case like Orucase’s Sub62 is much less likely to incur an oversize or overweight charge, but packing the bike into this case requires removal of both wheels, the bar and stem, rear derailleur, pedals, seatpost, and fork.

Black, Product, Fashion accessory, Technology, Bag, Auto part, Wheel,

If you want to use additional padding to protect your bike during transit, consider using your cycling apparel, since it has to make the trip with you anyway. You can also use pipe insulation, which is inexpensive and can be purchased at your local home-supply store. Always be sure you also have all the tools you need to get your bike back up and running at your destination.

Orucase airport ninja.

Airport Ninja

Looking to sneak your road bike through security and escape extra baggage fees? If so, this Orucase travel case is the ticket. The ultra-compact bike backpack fits most road frames and breakaway-style travel bikes. Though it’s soft-sided, the Orucase bag uses integrated plastic panels with energy-absorbing foam to armor it against impacts.

Least Wrenching

Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon

Scicon’s AeroComfort 3.0 TSA blends the low weight of a soft-sided bike bag with a rigid frame to protect your prized ride from surly baggage handlers. This travel bag is designed specifically for drop-bar bikes and requires minimal disassembly. The wheels stow in dedicated pockets on the sides and, best of all, there’s no need to remove the handlebar. The adjustable chassis holds your frame in place by the axles—either quick-release or 12mm thru-axles. The four-wheeled design makes it easy to maneuver through crowded airports, and the compact design keeps it within many airlines’ standard luggage dimensions, which may help you skip oversize baggage fees.

B&W BIKE BOX II

Bike Box II

B&W’s International Bike Box II is a simple, effective, and affordable hard-shell case. The clamshell design is easy to use, and the interlocking halves fasten with six buckles to keep everything secure. This budget-minded case includes wheel bags and multiple layers of foam to protect the frame from the wheels. Two fixed wheels and a pair of rotating castors make the International Bike Box II as easy to maneuver as a shopping cart.

DAKINE BIKE ROLLER BAG

Bike Roller Bag

Dakine’s Bike Roller Bag has enough space to fit 29ers, downhill bikes, and even 29er downhill bikes. Unlike many other soft-sided bags, the Bike Roller Bag has wheel sleeves inside the main compartment, which reduces the number of external zippers that could fail. Heavy-duty internal and external padding safeguards the frame, fork, and wheels from overzealous airport workers.

Cardboard Box

Bikeflights bike box, bikeflights bike box small.

Bike Box Small

A cardboard box is a light, inexpensive, and—provided the bike is packed properly—surprisingly safe way to ship a bike. Most brand new bikes—even high-end and custom bikes—are shipped in cardboard boxes. Bike breakdown and packing difficulty is average to high. A cardboard box has no puncture or impact protection, and can fall apart if it gets too wet. The BikeFlights Bike Box comes in four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large.

Best For Mountain Bikes

Evoc bike travel bag pro, evoc bike travel bag pro.

Bike Travel Bag Pro

EVOC’s bike bags are some of the most popular soft-sided options for road and mountain bikes—it even makes versions for BMX and fat bikes. The Bike Travel Bag Pro is a premium version of the company’s Bike Travel Bag. It includes an integrated aluminum chassis to hold frames securely in place by their axles. EVOC added six centimeters to the length of the bag to keep pace with the longer, lower, slacker trend in mountain biking. Another nod to modern mountain bikes are wheel pockets that can swallow 29-inch wheels wrapped in 2.6-inch tires. When not in use, the Bike Travel Bag Pro folds down small enough to fit under a bed.

THULE ROUNDTRIP TRANSITION

RoundTrip Transition

Thule’s RoundTrip Transition fits most road and mountain bikes within its tough, ABS plastic shell. Nylon wheel bags prevent frame and wheel rub during transport. The two-piece, hard shell cradles the frame in a lightweight aluminum stand that doubles as a work stand, making reassembly and maintenance a breeze once you arrive at your destination.

Fits Two Wheelsets

Biknd helium v4, biknd helium v4.

Helium V4

The Helium V4 is a drop bar-centric bike bag with a twist. Unlike most other bike bags, it can carry two wheelsets, which makes it an excellent option for cyclists traveling with both race-day and training wheels. Both sides fold flat for unfettered access for quick packing and removal. The feature that really sets the Helium V4 apart is the inflatable panels on the sides of the bag that add protection without heft. These inflatable bladders keep the weight to just 19.8 pounds, which is half of its heavyweight competitors.

Best for Large Bikes

Pro bike travel case mega, pro bike travel case mega.

Bike Travel Case Mega

Traveling with extra-large road bikes or 29er trail bikes poses problems for some cases, but not for Pro’s Bike Travel Case Mega. As the name suggests, this soft-sided bag is designed to swallow large and long frames easily. The alloy base holds the frame by the axles, while padded wheel pockets and foam bumpers keep your bike protected. Integrated pockets allow riders to stash pedals, tools, a mini-pump, and other ride essentials.

Unique Protective Feature

Douchebags savage bike bag, douchebags savage.

Savage

Once you get over the name, there’s a lot to like about this bike bag. The Db Savage is a soft-sided travel bag with a race car-inspired roll cage. This internal framework bolsters stiffness and provides an additional level of protection against damage. The Savage works with all road and mountain frames. It features external pockets for wheels and internal organizers for pedals and tools.

Best Bike Travel Cases Bags For Your Next Adventure

bike pro tandem travel case

Bike travel cases are the perfect solution to allow you to pack your bike up and travel to the furthest corners of the world with your bike.

This has personally been an area of struggle I have had with bike travel

As I opt for a cardboard box of my travels.

As these seem to be the best solution if you plan to bike tour and don’t have the ability to carry a bag with you or leave it at a hotel. Especially if you are moving about very often.

bike pro tandem travel case

But they offer the best protection for your bike and organization

Compared to a cardboard box.

Also, most bike travel cases pack relatively small so you can avoid those oversized baggage fees.

I am doing more bikepacking adventures that range from a few days in length these days.

So having a bike travel case is the best solution.

And as I am currently in the market for one.

I was doing all this research comparing most bike travel cases available on the market and thought while I am at it, why not write an article for you guys.

So here we go, here are the best bike travel cases ready for your next bike adventure!

Thule Roundtrip MTB Travel Case

bike pro tandem travel case

Transport your road bike or MTB safely and easily with Thules Roundtrip travel cases.

The above is their MTB travel bag, they also sell a road bike bag

What I liked most about this case is the integrated workstand for bike maintenance, assembly, and disassembly easier while traveling. This is always a bit of a struggle when putting your bike together on the road. So excited that they offer this feature.

Also, the workstand’s fork mount fits all front axle sizes, including 15 x 110 boost, 15 x 100, 20 x 110, and 12 x 100 mm thru-axle, as well as 9 mm quick-release

DAKINE Bike Roller Bag

bike pro tandem travel case

This bike travel case is the lightest option we have shown so far at 8.05 kg / 17.74 lbs

Weight is a big deal when it comes to bike travel, especially if you are flying. If you are traveling with all your camping gear as well it’s ideal to free up as much weight as possible.

This bag does just that and it’s the most affordable option when have mentioned so far too, check price!

This bag allows you to easily transport and store your downhill MTB or road bike with 360° padded protection and smooth-rolling, replaceable urethane wheels.

The rear triangle foam block and derailleur pocket stabilize your bike, while the internal padded bags hold your wheels and fork.

LifeLine EVA Pod Bike Travel Bag

bike pro tandem travel case

Again one of the lighter cases to choose from

LifeLine’s EVA Bike Pod is the ideal solution for easy bike transportation.

Made from high-impact resistant EVA material, it provides excellent protection against impacts and abrasions.

This pod is designed to fit most modern bikes, securely locking them in place to prevent any damage during transit.

Not the most ideal choice compared to other cases as the reviews vary, which is why I was hesitant to include it.

The EVA Bike Pod features a clamshell design that allows it to fully open for effortless bike storage and removal.

It is securely sealed with industrial-strength zips and quick-release buckles.

The pod is equipped with multiple handles, making it easy to lift and maneuver. It also meets all major airport security baggage handling restrictions.

Pro Bike Travel Case

Pro Bike Travel Case

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

  • Exceptional
  • Not so good

The Pro Bike Travel Case is a soft bag that's full of nice touches to make packing your bike away for travel easy, but it suffers terribly from poor construction and just can't go the distance.

Check out our guide to the best bike boxes and bike bags for more (robust) options.

The Pro case follows the template of many other soft bike bags, with a solid base with wheels on, a foam padded body that's resistant to both water and baggage handling abuse, an internal frame to secure your bike to once a level of disassembly has occurred, sleeves and pockets to put wheels and bits in, and a bunch of handles to help with dragging it around.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Open Bag Full.jpg

Like all soft bags, it's a compromise – it's better than a cardboard box in being more waterproof, easier to move about and needing less pipe lagging and packing tape, but not as protective as a full bike-enveloping plastic clamshell case, although it's lighter and easier to store.

Bag assembly

All bike bags require a bit of a knack to packing that gets easier each time you use them, and the Pro Bike Travel Case is no different – although the process is increased considerably by having to build the bag up from its initial packed state, and the supplied instructions are pretty basic and require a bit of thought and intuition to decipher.

The bag is given its shape and a level of rigidity by a series of rods that need to be inserted around the three upper edges of the bag on both sides. There are two long rods to fit along the top of the bag and four up the sides. They're a struggle to insert into their respective nylon webbing pockets at the ends, so while it needs to be that way to give the bag some of its structural integrity, you don't want to be doing this assembly every time you use the bag. You have to flex the upright poles a worrying amount to get them to fit into their end pockets and it's all very fingers-and-thumbs in the dark, hidden corners of the non-zipped side.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Internal Black Pad.jpg

The positive to this system is that when all the rods are removed from the bag it squishes down to a fraction of its size, making it easier to transport, store or hide under a bed. Being the owner of a solid bike case that won't fit in the loft hole and takes up a lot of the spare room, this is a definite advantage for the majority of weeks of the year when the bike isn't going away.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Internal Cradle.jpg

But if you needed to squish the bag down for storage during your holiday, taking these out and then replacing them for travelling home again would be a tedious chore.

There are also four shorter thicker rods that fit in the side panels to protect the bike from side blows, a bit.

Packing a bike

Construction over, it's time to put the bike in. With its wheels off, the bike fits onto an alloy cradle that straps in the bottom of the bag, making it easily removable to facilitate this part of the process.

As long as its wheelbase is less than 124cm your bike will fit, and the bike carrier supports are adjustable along the cradle arms to fit whatever distance there is between your bike's dropouts. They're held in place with four hex key-tightened collars.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Cradle Ring Clamp.jpg

It's pretty fiddly to set up initially but when it's done, it's done, unless you plan to use the bag for a variety of bikes. Your bike is held into the internal frame with its own quick release/bolt-through skewers; there are blue adaptors on the arms to swap around to suit whatever size dropout width and configuration your bike has. The right rear one also has a chain guide built in to keep that tidy. There are additional wide Velcro straps on both arms to wrap up and over the skewers for extra stability and security.

2023 PRO Bike Travel Case - Rear Dropout Chain.png

Next up, it's seatpost and bar and stem removal time. The Pro case comes with a frame pad that wraps around the front of the bike's frame triangle, with Velcro straps to hold seatpost/saddle and stem/bar safely out of the way. If your seatpost is heavily greased it might make everything a bit grubby, so a plastic bag might come in handy here. I found that the cable routing of one of my bikes didn't like the bar being stored to the left, as the supplied frame pad would like, so I had to reverse everything to get things to play nicely. There's usually a bit of adapting and adjusting to fit everything in any bike bag, and this appears to be this one's area of fudge.

2023 PRO Bike Travel Case - Packed Handlebars.png

Note: if you have a small bike or not much seatpost showing then it's possible you could fit the bike in the bag with the saddle and seatpost still in. This does mean it becomes more of a structural part of the bike bag and subject to any external forces that might make themselves known, which you might not fancy.

You then shuffle the hitched bike frame and carrier combo back in the Travel Case and secure it to the base with the straps.

Now the frame can be secured to the side of the bag with straps at the head tube and seat tube cluster areas. These are attached to large foam blocks to keep the bike away from the side of the bag and provide some squash and thump protection.

2023 PRO Bike Travel Case - Seatcluster.png

Pop the drivetrain cover on to stop any other stuff you might put in the bag from getting oily smeared.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Frame Pad + Drivetrain Cover.jpg

Wheel pockets

The wheels slot into cavernous pockets each side of the bag and are held taut with a pair of Velcro straps. They're offset front and back to help with tidy packing, and there are large reinforcing plastic discs on the outside to lessen axle rub and rotor damage.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Front Wheel Support.jpg

Extra protection

For further protection, four foam blocks are supplied to stick to the bag via Velcro strips running either side towards the bottom, so you can mount them where your bike might be most sensitive to baggage strikes and clumsy loading.

The base and the bottom 30cm of the inside of the bag is lined with a silver foil type material that will help towards waterproofing, and more importantly it makes it easier to see where you've dropped that 3mm bolt when you're assembling the bike in a dim hotel basement.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Open Bag Close.jpg

The Pro Bike Travel Case also comes with a big drawstring bag to put your helmet or shoes in, and there's a large zipped mesh pocket to store pedals, energy bars and whatnot inside the rear end of the bag, and another open mesh pocket for knick knacks on the side towards the base.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Internal Mesh Pocket.jpg

I fitted a 56cm road bike in the bag and there was plenty of room to spare, you could easily fit a mountain bike in if you wanted, although rangier full-suspension bikes and modern geometry long-low-slack bikes might struggle.

2023 PRO Bike Travel Case - Packed Bike.png

I've spent some time in the past packing and unpacking various bikes into a large variety of bike bags and boxes, and once the initial setup is done the Pro Bike Travel Case is one of the good ones. Mounting the bike onto the cradle and then putting it in the bag is genuinely useful, especially at the other end when you might be putting the bike back together in a hotel room, where this frame can serve as an impromptu bike stand – so you can build most of the bike back up without making a mess of the carpet.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Rear Wheel Support.jpg

On the move

The base of the bag has four solid bars bolted to it for rigidity and to protect the bottom from rubs and scuffs, and moving the bag around is made easier by the four wheels.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Rear Roller Wheels.jpg

The rear two are integrated into the bag and slightly recessed into a large corner boot of plastic, while the front pair are removable.

The front ones are castor wheels, which help with steering, and they can be clicked off with a push-button to stop them getting damaged in transit – a neat feature, on paper. A small external zipped pocket to put them in would be handy so you don't have to reopen the bag to hide them in before they disappear into the hold, especially if you've made use of the zips' ability to have a small padlock or zip-tie slotted through them, but that's a minor whinge.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Detachable Wheel Sockets.jpg

There's a webbing grab handle on each side of the bag and one on the top for general heaving about, plus two handles on the front edge, both thickly padded with rubber, one on the top corner and one at the base, so you can comfortably pull the bag along on all four wheels or lift the front and roll along on the back ones.

bike pro tandem travel case

It doesn't like strong winds either.

Lots of pros, but...

So there's a lot to like about the Pro Bike Travel Case. It's lighter than a plastic clamshell case and folds down small when not needed. The twin-railed metal frame in the base gives a secure footing for the bike and out of the bag makes it very easy to disassemble/assemble for packing/unpacking. The wheel pockets are huge and will fit a mountain bike wheel, and the internal pockets are handy too. It's a pleasingly compact and manoeuvrable bag, although dragging it around can be a frustrating affair at times. Unfortunately the Pro Bike Travel Case has a problem, and it's a big one.

It doesn't handle the chuck, thump and crush of airline travel at all well. It's impossible to predict how kindly a bag will be treated once it goes through the plastic flaps of no return, and we've all heard horror stories while probably never having an issue ourselves. But even taking the abuse lottery into account, the Pro Bike Travel Case really isn't up to the task.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Hole In Corner.jpg

On its first outing the pop rivets holding the plastic foot that house the rear wheels gave way, I suspect because of the main body having a certain amount of flex to it in relation to the base, allowing too much movement for the rivets to cope with. This was quickly fixed with some nuts and bolts, but it wasn't a good or reassuring start.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Bottom Rear Plastic Boot.jpg

As if to prove it, on the case's next travels, one of the upright struts forced its way through its nylon end pocket, which compromised the bag's rigidity, protection and integrity. And there was some serious scuffing to the zip on a top corner.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Base Strut Sleeve Fail.jpg

On its third trip away, that loose pole punched its way through the bottom corner of the bag, possibly thanks to a blow from above, and a pole that runs along the top of the bag went through its webbing pocket too. The metal studs that stand proud of the inserts that the removable front wheels click into were showing damage too, likely from being dragged across the floor by a ground crew employee who isn't paid enough to care. This became worse over successive trips, so that enough of these studs has been worn away that the wheels don't clip in any more, so they're useless now. It's also maybe how one of these removable wheels got lost in transit somewhere. Oh, and a bit of the zip has come away from the body of the bag on a corner.

2023 Pro Bike Travel Case - Removable Wheels Post Wear.jpg

Overall, the Bike Travel Case really looks like it's been through the wars. Despite all of this, though, and with an increasing degree of trepidation each time I've used it, the bike inside has emerged completely unscathed. But it's an unacceptable and worrying amount of damage for a bag to sustain in so few trips that it doesn't inspire much faith for future travels. For the Pro Bike Travel Case's sake it's probably a good job that we're being encouraged to minimise air travel to help save the planet.

On paper, the Pro case isn't badly priced for what it is, but its performance lets it down. More protective, more robust bike bags and boxes can be had for less.

If you don't need the packability of a soft case, the Bike Box Alan Premium Bike Box is arguably the benchmark bike bag for safe travelling. Go anywhere near an oversize baggage belt and you'll see one. It's a plastic shell that requires more bike breakdown than the Pro, but it's cheaper (£440, and currently on sale for £374), and a sturdy box that should set your mind at rest however often you travel.

The Merlin Cycles Elite Travel Bike Bag looks similar but has a cheaper rrp of £429, up from £380 when Nick reviewed it in 2020 (and because it's Merlin it's probably on sale right now – oh yes, it is, £289). It doesn't have the bike cradle or bag-reinforcing struts and only has one set of wheels, but it packs away small too and in the course of testing appeared to hold up well.

The Evoc Bike Travel Bag always seemed to a popular and sturdy soft bag when I was hoicking bikes out the backs of vans, and comes with an optional frame to support the bike like the Pro case, but is still cheaper at £424.99. The members of the road.cc staff who helped with the testing recommended it, with one even considering buying it for themselves.

The Bikebox Online VeloVault2 is more expensive than the Pro, at £545. It's another hard case that's quite roomy, although that translates into it being quite a big box. Mat was impressed, though, saying it was strong, well made and very easy to pack. (And just as he said in his review in 2018, if you don't want to stump up the cash to buy one, they're also available to hire.)

'Soft' travel bags are always going to have their issues and be more susceptible to grazes and injuries than hard cases when dealing with being handled poorly and loaded into luggage compartments with the likelihood of piles of other heavy things chucked on top of them, but it's the compromise that many are happy to make for a bag that's light to move around and easier to store when not in use.

Over my years of travel with bikes I've stood nervously at the baggage carousel waiting to see what might have happened to countless bikes in bags and boxes, and I've never seen a bag suffer such a succession of damage in such a short time. Normally you'd have to wait a few years and get a-few-times-round-the-world amount of air miles under your belt to come to a satisfactory conclusion about the protection and longevity capabilities of a bike bag, but there's no need here.

For this sort of money you're going to expect a bag that will look after your bike for many years of travel, and while there's always an element of luck in such matters, a large amount of the Pro Bike Travel Case's misfortune seems to be poor design and construction choices.

A soft bike bag with some great features that would be even greater if it could stay in one piece

Pro says: "The PRO Bike Travel Case features a reinforced frame to provide a sturdy, protective, travel case for your bike. Designed to provide you with a better sports' bicycle experience the PRO Bike Travel Case was developed to fit all bikes; including 29'er mountain bikes, gravel bikes and road bikes. It features a reinforced inner frame and improved protection, when compared to the previous version of PRO's Bike Travel Case. Inside the Bike Travel Case there are 2 wheel compartments, which have been placed to further ensure the strength of the frame. It rolls on 2, rear, caster wheels and 2, front, fixed wheels to efficiently carry its 9-kilograme weight."

On paper it should be a good bike bag because there's lots to like in the details; in real life, however, it's worryingly poor. Sturdy it is not.

Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?

Improved function and durability for the ultimate travel bag

Renewed frame design combining super durable materials with a stress-free set up

Glass fibre rod construction for extra strength

Upgraded wheel compartment placement ensuring additional security

Fixed roller wheels on the back for easy manoeuvrability

It looks well made and there's been some intelligent thought put into the features, but it seems like it just wants to fall apart.

On the one hand it's a good bag if you want something that can pack away smallish, has a great bike cradle and some genuinely useful design features; on the other, its ability to self destruct puts doubts in your head about its ability to look after a bike.

It broke on its very first outing.

As a soft bag it's going to be quite lighter than a full plastic box – handy with airlines' random baggage weight restrictions.

More protective, more robust bike bags and boxes can be had for less, plus its performance lets it down.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose

Technically it did its job in being able to protect a bike from the adventures of air travel, but the fact that it started to fall apart on its first outing casts doubt on it being able to do that for much longer.

Tell us what you particularly liked about the product

Light, packed down for storage, bike cradle.

Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product

It's just not up to the job.

How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?

If you don't need the packability of a soft case, the Bike Box Alan Premium Bike Box is arguably the benchmark bike bag for safe travelling. It's a plastic shell that requires more bike breakdown than the Pro, but it's cheaper at £440, and currently on sale for £374.

The Merlin Cycles Elite Travel Bike Bag looks similar but has a cheaper rrp of £429, up from £380 when Nick reviewed it in 2020, and is currently on sale for £289.

The Evoc Bike Travel Bag comes with an optional frame to support the bike like the Pro case, but is still cheaper at £424.99.

The Bikebox Online VeloVault2 is around the same price as the Pro, at £545. It's another hard case that's quite roomy, although that translates into it being quite a big box. (If you don't want to stump up the cash to buy one, they're also available to hire.)

Did you enjoy using the product? It was nice in that it was simple to pack, manageable to walk around with, light and squished down small for storage, but its ability to self-destruct under the bumps and scrapes of travel was very, very disappointing.

Would you consider buying the product? No

Would you recommend the product to a friend? No

Use this box to explain your overall score

There's lots to like about the bag, but its willingness to self-destruct under transit trauma makes it unfit for purpose. You can get more robust, more protective bags for less.

bike pro tandem travel case

Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

I've been away on 4 trips to Europe l, and a friend with the same case,with this case and the bikes have always survived fine. I think it offers great protection for the bike. Wheeling it isn't great. I haven't had the same damage from baggage handlers as Jo. It has a few scuffs and marks but nothing that a suitcase wouldnt pick up as well. I think 1.5 stars is a bit harsh and makes it seem like a seriously unviable option, which it definitely isn't., I'd give it 3 stars at least,

If your bike is going to be handled by other people, outside of your sight, then:

Hard case > Cardboard box > Soft Case > Nothing

But they have their benefits for other uses.

I prefer big fish -> little fish -> cardboard box myself. 

If you have an expensive bike (particularly if its carbon) and travel with anything other than a hard case box, you really are asking for trouble IMO.  You might get lucky indefinitely, but if you travel a lot then I'd say there's a high chance it'll end in tears.  Maybe I was particularly unlucky, but on my second flight using a Scicon soft bag, it got crushed / dropped / manhandled so badly that the steel QR holding the rear wheel to the internal frame was bent and the mech hanger of my Trek Madone ripped off.
