I've had frames and other parts broken by airlines with other soft bags. This one has held up well. You can see dents in the side protectors but no damage to the bike. That said, I also used bubble wrap and took off the derailleur/hanger. I took a tip from a youtuber and added the PVC pipe to protect the stays from being bent. The bag fits in the rear seat of a Toyota Camry - just. I had no issues with the side panels, the fit is perfect, maybe they have improved the cut. I wish they would add front wheels. I may buy a removable set. My 52 frame fits in the bag without dropping the seat. Since there is no protection from the top, that's a good thing. Likewise, there is no protection front or back so I add clothes or more bubble wrap. Overall, very happy with the case

I transported my race bike to and from Germany this summer with this case, and it exceeded my expectations.The built-in bike stand is extremely useful for bike reassembly and adjustment on your trip.The included wheel bags have pockets inside for QR skewers, and I put my pedals and some spare tubes in the pockets too.Plenty of room in the case for tools and a few bags, but some airlines might not like seeing not-bike stuff in the case. I did not have any problems, but the Toronto Pearson airport did say no clothes. And of course, you CANNOT take CO2 cartridges on a plane in checked or carry-on baggage, and they specifically watch for them.In Toronto Pearson, they do not have a scanner large enough for the case, so expect to have to almost entirely empty the case, remove the foam protection, and empty any bags and tools so they can look at and swab everything. 10 minutes and it was handled, and barely even a minor inconvenience; the case is easy to pack and unpack.In Frankfurt, the check-in clerk got a handler to come out and fetch the case. I did not need to unpack the case for them for inspection.My rides in Germany came in sedans. We just barely got the case into the back seat, by slightly curving down/doming the side panels to fit. It worked out fine, and did not damage the removable side panels, but I am not sure I want to do it often for fear of damaging them.The entire experience has opened my eyes to the brilliance of taking my beloved bicycle with me on trips. This case may not be the cheapest, but its accoutrements make it stand out as a perfect bicycle flying solution and I recommend it to everyone. I seriously cannot wait for my next trips to introduce my bike to new countries and continents!The case does NOT come with any frame packing. I picked up a couple sizes of pool noodles at the local Canadian Tire for maybe $12, cut 'em up and used them for frame and post protection, which was fine and ultimately customisable to my needs. I don't consider this a major issue.

Despite of having the same issue as another reviewer with side panels being a bit too large and not fit very well in the side pockets, I give this bag highest rating. First, it provides excellent protection to a bike. It went through four flights already, and I can see marks of rough handling on outside and some dents in the side panels. Yet, the bike went back and forth intact - no single scratch. I agree hard cases are even more sturdy and can protect a bike even better, but they have another issue: weight. Currently, most airline policies treat a packaged bike as a regular luggage and don't charge extra if it meets certain criteria, including weight: it must not exceed 50 lbs. Hard cases typically weigh around 40 lbs. by themselves, and with a bike, you are guaranteed to exceed the limit. This bag weighs about 20 lbs., and, with a bike and a pump (yeah, I managed to squeeze a pump into the bag as well) it weights less than 50 lbs., and meets all criteria. So the bag saved me some good money I didn't pay in extras for overweight/oversize luggage.The bag is very convenient to use, and I really like the tripod stand it unfolds to in order to prepare a bike for packaging. It is especially convenient in a small hotel rooms, as it raises the bike above bed level, where you have more space around the bike to access it from different sides. Tripod legs also work as support side beams when everything is packed, so the weight of the stand is used very wisely.Speaking of the size, my bike frame is relatively small - 50 cm, so it fits with no issues. Besides the bike, it fits an extra wheel and a pump, and potentially I think it can fit a fourth wheel, so you can take a full spare set to your race.Build quality of the bag is very good, with one issue I mentioned atop: the side plastic panels are a bit larger than they need to be, and they fit too tight into the side pockets of the bag. It takes an effort to insert them there and zip the pockets. Also, the panels are made of corrugated thin plastic. It saves the weight, however, hits and falls during a trip leave some dents on the plastic. I am not quite sure how long they'll last. While it is a reasonable compromise for weight, but please beware of that.Overall, I am very happy with the bag and highly recommend it.

Pas fait pour les VTT... J’ai commandé cette valise en toute confiance après avoir lu le descriptif. Mais, quand j’ai voulu ranger mon vélo dedans, l’espace n’était pas assez grand. Résultat j’ai dû démonter La fourche que je vais mettre dans une autre valise... En espérant que mon engin arrivera entier à destination. Précision c’est un VTT Orbea taille L roues 29 pouces. Pour quelques centimètres manquants c’est désolant...

I was really disappointed with the travel bag. Did not fit my Bike. I have a Large Santa Cruz 5010 C , 27,5 wheels. First bike did not fit inside bag. I took the wheels off and bike wouldn't fit on the track . Had to keep bike off the track . also wheels would not fit as well. had to squeeze all in there. It may be good only for a small or medium bike. I do not recommended if you have a Large bike or a 29 inches wheel.

Conforme à la description. C'est une merveille à l'utiliser. Se monte et demonte très facilement et rapidement. Le trépied est assez pratique pour démonter et monter le vélo. Les côtés sont suffisamment durs pour protéger le vélo.

I bought this case to take my bike on vacation in Hawaii and to races across the country. During first use, a piece of the plastic that holds the bike in place broke off and now the bike doesn’t stay seated closely inside the case. The other side still clips in so I can get around this by packing the rest of the bag with bubble wrap and other things like my shoes, helmet, and bike pump.The outside is durable and relatively light weight with handles conveniently on both sides. The wheels on the back are nice, but would be helpful if they were also on the front as the bag gets heavy and wheeling it across the airport terminal causes the handles to cut into my hands and I either have to wear gloves or take a break so my circulation doesn’t get cut off. I’ve used the bag for over 2 years now and my bike hasn’t had any issues, but having to pack everything in there to keep it from moving around defeats the purpose of this being light weight as I now always have to pay extra because of the weight. Hoping Thule can come out with a similar bag with some sort of lightweight metal for the frame instead of this cheap plastic.

I just received the Pro XT package (box) had minimal damage. The product it self had no issues and all parts are included. I have a Specialized Venge Road bike and not a pro more like a bicycle enthusiasts in the local area. I’m in the military and soon (end of Sept 2018) I’ll be flying back state side so I wanted to bring my bike with me instead of waiting for govt storage sending it to me. I’ll update after my travels... will use in future during vacation trips.Update: 2019 Jan 11th I used it and it worked like a charm from Japan to California. No issues and it felt heavy with everything I included in the bag. But no damages to my bike...

I needed a case to ship my bike cross country. I looked at different products and came up with this one since it handled my gravel bike with a 15mm thru axle. Most bags either don't support multiple or correct thru axle sizes where this bag handles 15mm and 20mm, as well as the standard quick release styles. The sides are firm and with the wheels inside gives an extra layer of protection for the frame. Because of the cool included stand it is very easy to disassemble and then reassemble your bike. It took me 10 min to assemble and then about 15 to disassemble to ship back home. Lots of extra room in the bag to add shoes, helmet, pump and all tools needed for saddle, pedals and handlebar. Great bag in my opinion.
