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$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
