The best MTB carry bag is a cardboard box like they come from factory. Airline baggage handles can't be as rough with a cardboard box. Seen many bikes damaged in "proper" bike bags. Never in a plain old cardboard box.
After having a factory box completely smashed in one corner and broken seat stays with a note attached stating there “weren’t proper handles” I never went that route again. My Dakine bag has been incredible
This seems like a paid ad. I’ve used the Evoc bag, an older Thule round trip. most recently I tried the new Thule roundtrip mtb bike cAse. Hands done the best bike case I’ve used. The stand allows you disassemble and assemble quickly and have it secure in place inside the bag. Protection is great and folds up nicely for storage. Your going to be paying $100 no matter what airline if it over 50lbs. (Alaskan has allowed me twice for free but that was cause I bribed the gate agent)Might as well save yourself some time and not completely disassemble your bike like the case requires.
I do find that this bag is much easier to get through the airports, usually I have a camera bag and small backpack I am taking on the plane so getting around can be cumbersome. This was not a paid video, I did get to keep the bag and will continue to use it. With a bike that is not as big as mine the only extra step is pulling the fork off. Also, depending on where you are going and how far your transfer is getting a taxi that can fit a full size bag is not always easy and can be more expensive(think 1 hour transfer from Geneva to Morzine etc.) I appreciate the feedback! - Cole
@@TheLoamWolf why i think the fork is a painful extra step on both sides. The point about the taxi is a great selling point. Pissed off Prius uber drivers don't like any bike bags.
cool but expensive, ru sure youcannot use abig trolly for the bike?
Orucase does sell a frame protection kit, although it's a bit pricey.
Good call! I will check that out. Towels and some velcro straps have been working great. - Cole
Therapy equipment 😂

Paid ad? Seems like he points out the shortcomings of the bag too.
Oh nvm
