Which bag to choose for your bikepacking or cycle touring trip?

Bikepacking or bicycle touring, take only the strict necessities.

Travel light without bulk with our bags Light range!"

But then which bag should you choose for your bikepacking or cyclotouring trip?

At Buds, we offer a range optimized for both practices, in three variations: 

  • Withdrawing the two wheels :
    The TRAINBag Light, A travel bag complying with the SNCF standard (120 x 90 cm)
  • Keeping the wheel rear on the bike (a Buds exclusive) :
    The ROADBag Light (for road bikes) and the MTBag Light (for MTB and large road bikes)

The Light range from Buds-Sports is designed specifically for bikepacking and cycle-touring travel. 

Travel bags from the Light range are ultra-light, compact and easy to store in a bag or backpack. They take up very little space and weigh less than a kilogram, between 790g and 890g depending on the model. 

If your itinerary includes a trip by train, be aware that it's important to respect the standards imposed by SNCF. You can travel with your bike at no extra cost if it's stored in A transport bag that doesn't exceed 120 x 90 cm. In this case, the TRAINBag Light is The bag you need.

MTBag Light
The ROADBag Light and the MTBag Light are designed with the same special  feature: allowing the wheel rear to remain on the bike, a Buds exclusive. This reduces handling and isolates the drivetrain from the ground. It
only takes a few seconds to store your bike in The bag !
If your bike is equipped with a luggage rack, choose a ROADBag or MTBag Light.

A range compatible with all bikes: MTB, Road, Gravel, Fixie, City

There's bound to be a model in the Light range to suit your road bike, MTB or gravel.

Optional accessories for total protection

To perfect your bike's protection, we've developed a range of universal accessories : a fork protection (Fork Bike Protect), universal bike rackpair of pedal protectors (Pedals Protect), a frame protector (FRAMEProtect) and handlebar protector MTB (HANDLEBAR Protect

Support universel, protection de fourche et paire de protections pédales

  • The universal support is highly recommended when you buy a TRAINBag Light. It isolates the drivetrain from the ground once the two wheels have been removed and prevents The bag from being damaged by the pedalier.
  • The fork protector will effectively protect your fork from impact and also avoid damaging The bag with protruding elements.
  • The pair of pedal protectors will be particularly useful for spiked pedals protecting your bag from the risk of tearing.

Protection de cadre et protection guidon

The universal bracket and fork protector feature adjustable straps for easy, secure attachment to your bike's frame or rack. So they don't take up space in your luggage.
