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.
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!

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

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

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.

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.
