Bike Bag Pro

I traveled to Steamboat Gravel with this bag. I found it easy to move through the airport. The wheels make it a joy to move around. It was easy to pack and it did an excellent job protecting my bike. The stand makes setting up your bike easy. I would give it five stars if it were not for how hard it can be to get the stays to properly seat in their slots.

This is my second Bike Bag Pro and the inclusion of the bike stand pro is a huge upgrade over my 9 year old Pro with the molded plastic insert. I will likely purchase another soon so my wife and I can both travel with our bikes in this newer version.
Packing is super easy. the bike stand pro is amazing and I can't believe I went all those years without it. My only complaint is that Delta managed to tear the fabric on the top and side of this bag on my very first trip. My old bag is also torn up from years of travel and I had hoped that a more durable fabric was part of the evolution of EVOC's product line.
Can I give 4.5 stars?!? in all of my years traveling with a soft bike travel bag, my bikes have always arrived without damage. EVOC is a great brand with a great product that is worth the price.

I love the rack, the ease of packing, and the easy roll through the airport, but putting the support stays in the front and rear is WAY too difficult. Not sure why the slots they slide into have to be that tight. They are so hard to get in that I will never take them out to collapse the bag for storage. I have a dozen fiberglass splinters in my hands and fingers from installing the support stays.

These bags make life so much easier. I often travel with two bikes at a time and the little wheel in front makes dragging a bunch of bikes through the airport almost effortless. Use one hand for two bikes and gear bag in the other. Packing is easy with all the pieces and directions labeled. Compartments for pedals and rotors. I have a few extra things like a travel headset spacer and some foam Velcro pieces for derailleur, but other than that everything is secure and shows up safely. The metal base stand also works great as a bike stand, building up your bike until you need wheels, then flip the bike upside down and add wheels. I’ve had about 6 of these bags over time. I’d say durability is the only flaw but they last longer with these new models. Xoxo

I purchased this bag in September, 2023 after reading lots of reviews of different ones. Candidly, my first choice was a Scicon because it didn’t require removing handlebars, had a robust mounting bracket, and was cheaper. My bike was large enough that it didn’t fit at all. I then purchased the EVOC Travel Bag Pro.

Upon opening the shipping box and checking the contents, I found the aluminum rails were bent, both in the same place, obviously done upon packaging as the box was undamaged. However, customer service was prompt in replacing them.

I trial-packed my bike to make sure all would go well, and found no surprises. I found the simple instructions to be sufficient, supplementing them with a video. Having watched several videos on how to take a bike on a plane trip, I did remove the derailleur and disc brake rotors, packing them well. I have a Trek Domane SL6 with a 58 cm frame. I wrapped the seat stays and chain stays with preformed insulation, I did have to remove the saddle and seat post because of the bike size, wrapping them in bubble wrap, Padded the end of the seat tube and steering post. I wrapped some biking jerseys around other parts of the frame. I removed all batteries and carried them separately. Zipped everything and used TSA approved locks (purchased separately).

On the day we flew, I found that the bag was easy to move around with the included front caster, which you have to remember to remove and pack in the external pouch. The whole thing weighed in at 48 lbs. It wasn't too difficult the lift as necessary. We had a plane change in Denver on our way to Houston. The bag and bike survived the journey with no damage. The bag looked as good as new at the end of the trip, and I was grateful for that (thanks to baggage handlers).

So, I have one trip in the books, and am satisfied thus far. I feel good about the quality of the bag, and look forward to using it again. I know anything can happen, but the bag performed well, was easy to maneuver, and wasn’t difficult to pack.
