Bike Bag Shootout - Who won and who damaged our bike?

- When driving to a riding destination isn't possible, boxing your mountain bike up is the only way to bring your trusty steed along for the journey. We've done everything from shove our bikes in hockey gear bags to cardboard boxes and now we're here to test some of the most popular mountain bike bags for traveling with your bike.
As part of our Bike Park Review Tour, we decided to hit the East Coast to explore some new bike parks and downhill bike terrain that we'd been hearing about for way too long. Thanks to our friends at Competitivecyclist.com we were able to get some brand new bags to test out and make this video.
We shipped these bikes across the country twice and drug them all over the East Coast too.
During our tour we normally drive to our locations but due to summer's rapid end we decided to fly and save ourselves some time. We teamed up with Bike Flights to ship our bikes so we could avoid the ridiculous and uncertain baggage fees that come with flying your bike. By using bikeflights.com we were able to ensure our bikes for the full amount they're worth, avoid dragging large bike bags through the airport and save money on a rental car by having the bikes delivered right to our hotel.
So, how did the bike bags do at protecting our cherished steeds? Give a watch and find out.

You guys deserve way more subs, best MTB channel on youtube.
Thank you! We appreciate it. Feel free to repost and share/link our channel and help us grow organically. Word of mouth is the best we can hope for! Thanks
DAKINE BAG IS UPDATED! big tough pads where wheel axles contact the bag. In my opinion it’s a clear best budget pick!! Got mine on sale for 340 and it fits my xl sentinel, check your wheelbase not all bags are up on the latest geo!!
Wait how do you know if the listing is the updated version or not? Sorry if that's a tough question to answer.
@@spacefacts2553 that I don't know but the inside of the one I just picked up was white instead of that silver and it had the extra pad for the axle
I can confirm I have the camo outside / white inside bag and it's got the wheel axle protectors. I agree best bag to keep under 50lbs and it's one of the longest. I bought it used in 2023 for $300 from a guy who purchased it 2022/2023 from REI on a garage sale at 380$
Major bummer on the damaged linkage. That's super helpful info for anyone who has this bag. Now we know to add a pool noodle in the future.
Definitely. While Sourpatch relied on just the supplied material, i tend to stuff riding shoes, knee pads or anything else between possible contact zones to be extra safe without having to buy more/extra things. but if you got a stack of pool noodles, go for it! haha.
That price difference pays for a lot of pool noodles.
The savage is a great piece of gear. It has always kept my bike perfectly safe. If you buy their helmet bag it clips right onto the back where the webbing is. Make for one less thing to hold while walking through the terminal!
Thanks for the input!
He I had subscribed your newsletter after watching this👍
Thank you!
@@TheLoamWolf welcome brother I am watching u since a year but ur vids never bored me and can I ask u something if u don't mind.huh....
Great review. I just used bike flights for a trip to Sedona, AZ from DC. I put the bike in a bike box, really protected the bike. But, some gorilla working at UPS drug the box on the ground for what looked like a few miles. There was a huge gap/opening/damage on the bottom edges and quite a bit of my kit was gone. Fortunately, bike flights took care of the issue and got me a refund for the lost items with ease.
We've been there before...a few times actually. BikeFlights definitely takes care of everyone quickly and efficiently. If only UPS would take care of packages from the start though, that would be much better.
I like the free cardboard bike box found at your local of bike shop method. I don’t need the Louis Vuitton of bike bags. I’m recycling too.
Yess a new vid❤️
Awesome video
@@Studytimerr Thank you
So great!
Excellent in depth review, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
So basically none of the bags except the dakine are light enough to get a mountajn bike under 50lbs as a checked bag and avoid the fee.
And the bike box
yeah, honestly the bikebox is just too good if money is 1 of your concerns
@@Coerced except you can't wheel a cardboard box around the airport..
Very nice guide thanks loam wolf
Glad you enjoyed!
So DB the savage worked best I assume? What about the orucase MTB case? It's more disassembly but packs smaller.
thanks fellas, this review was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
looking for a new bike bag, in 2014 i got the evoc bag (i think they only had the one model at the time) and it wont fit my 29" mtb wheels. other than that, it has been great.
AWESOME!!
Thanks!!
Was it hard to close the zipper on the db and did you need to take the derailleur off?
thats an awesome review
Didn’t you pack the EVOC XL backwards?
Hi team, hope you can respond as I’m flying overseas in two weeks and need advice. The Evoc Bike Case, seeing it’s not hard do you feel it’s durable enough? And my main question is if it’s compatible for a Quick Release frame system? I noticed some have internal frames but Thru Axel
The axles it accepts should be universal but could be worth double checking on their site.
you mentioned bikeflights for affordable shipping...got a quote on their website for almost 3000$ from canada to australia round trip...am I missing something?
It seems that prices have jumped DRASTICALLY in the last year or two... Sadly they don't seem to be the bargain they once were. Although we're not sure anyone else is better.
How would these bags fair with a fixed gear cycle.
Great as they've got less moving parts, are a lot thinner and have less dangling around.
With most enduro / downhill bikes being around 16kg these days, most of these bags are just too heavy
Do you think a YT decoy would fit in one of these?
It should, unless it's an XL, that may be tight...
i guess if ur flying domestic or visiting the dumps that are liberia or myanmar, imperial makes sense. if youre flying to 99% of the world outside of those your imperial measurements are a pita to convert.
That's a douchebags. It's guaranteed to be well built. Btw the CEO is a red bull retired athlete and also does TH-cam videos. Anyways I love your videos. You definitely deserve more subscribers. A subscriber from Philippines 👌👌👌
Thanks for the view and we appreciate you subscribing to the channel!
I entered a giveaway and now drew texts me all the time. We are like best friends
