EVOC Bike Bag Pro


While Ryanair or Easyjet will never be bywords for glamour, at least your bike can fly in style with the new EVOC Bike Bag Pro.

Previous incarnations struggled to fit 650b wheels in, but this has been addressed. If you’re precious about your bike and have let the thought of what baggage ‘handlers’ might do to it stop you from heading abroad, EVOC might have come to the rescue. A new plastic bathtub construction with added aluminium reinforcement should give plenty of strength, while inside there’s more padding and the straps are red, not black…

Much like any new bike, the new model is lighter and stiffer so you’ll now be faster across a departure terminal than a roadie full of doped blood. Possibly.

PRICE 600$

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
