Scicon AeroComfort Plus MTB TSA 3.0 Bike Travel Bag

Scicon AeroComfort Plus MTB TSA 3.0 Bike Travel Bag Info

Sci-Con AeroComfort MTB TSA 3.0 Bike Travel Bag makes air travel so easy, you’ll want to do it more often. The key is that the bag minimizes disassembly while keeping things light and providing lots of protection. The less you take apart, the less time you need to put the bike in the bag. Allot about five minutes for the operation.

If you’ve ever traveled with a bike before, you know that hard cases can get heavy. This tips the scales at 8kg (17.6lbs). It measures 124cm long by 98 cm tall by 25cm wide when a bike is inside (48.8” x 38.6” x 9.8”). And, because it only spends a fraction of its existence that way, the bag folds down to 80cm by 90cm by 23cm.

This is a soft bag, but one with a solid support system, good padding, and with your frame locked into the chassis, great security.

And here’s the best part. Once you know what you’re doing, expect it to take five minutes to pack. You take off the wheels, remove the quick releases or thru-axles, lock the frame in the chassis, install the rear derailleur protector (if you’ve got a rear quick release),  put the gear you want to secure into the gear bag and attach it to the chassis, install the seat cover/strap guide, install the top tube frame pad, turn the handlebars, run the seat belt around the saddle to the frame, put the wheels in the side compartment wheel bags, make sure it’s all locked down with the top tube strap, zip the bag closed, install the TSA lock, and you’re good to go. You don’t have to take off your pedals, remove your handlebars, or seat.

Your bike will fit so long as the distance from the rear dropout to the saddle is 75cm or less, the distance from the rear dropout to the front dropout is 116cm or less, and the saddle to end of the farthest bar is 110cm or less. Finally, that the distance from the front dropout to the top of the stem is 75cm or less.

In terms of wheels, it will fit quick release or thru-axle 26”, 27.5”, and 29ers. Max width on 29” tires is 2.4”. Thru-axle compatibility is 15mm in front and 12mm in the rear. It will also fit road or cyclocross bikes or tri bikes that are those dimensions or less.

Included with the case are: gear bag, thru-axle adapters, quick releases (for chassis), saddle cover, aerobar cover, storage bag (for case), handlebar pads, top tube pad, internal adjustable frame, rear derailleur protector, TSA lock, and two external carrying straps.

The Sci-Con AeroComfort Triathlon TSA 3.0 Bike Travel Bag takes the hassle out of packing your bike for air travel.
