Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case
$649.99 | $599.99 sale
The Orucase B2 travel case is one of the more compact bags out there, and this version is specifically designed to fit a mountain bike safely and securely. Though it’s tempting to rent a mountain bike if you’re flying to a destination, our recommendation is to bring your own. For one, you’ll be more comfortable on your bike but also renting a bike can be expensive, especially for a multi-day trip. Flying with a bike on Delta, American, and United currently costs the same as checking a bag so a quality travel bag like this one can pay for itself in just one trip! Read more.
