Merlin Cycles Competition Travel Bike Bag
The Merlin Cycles Competition Travel Bike Bag has been custom designed to meet all of the typical challenges of packing and transporting your bike for international travel. The Competition bike bag is full of user-friendly features designed to help you securely pack your bike in a such a way that significantly helps reduce the potential for damage during transit.
We’ve included two robust towing wheels on one end of the base to allow you to wheel your bike bag through check-in with the minimum of fuss as well as multiple handles placed around the bag to allow you to tow the bag as you please. This versatile bike bag has been designed to accommodate a wide range of road, gravel and mountain bikes allowing you to pack your bike quickly without the need for multiple bike-tools. By simply removing the wheels, bike handle bars and pedals and using the crush protection inserts provided, packing your bike takes minutes and gives you the security required to travel in confidence.

CharlieConsidering the price for this bag, it really is an excellent product. It doesn't have all the parts of the more expensive ones to attach the bike at each point (other than padding for the chain ring) to make it a 2 minute job, however it is very well made and easy enough to pack a bike well with a little time and padding/bubble wrap. So far very impressed with the product and would recommend
DottyI'm impressed with this bike bag! I didn't expect too much given the price tag - but so far it's held up very well. All sides are well padded. It comes with a foam block that serves as a footing for the bike. There are internal straps to secure the wheel bags in place, which also act as fenders for the bike itself. Further straps are provided for the front fork, although no additional padding (unlike seen on Merlins later bike bag models). Two large zipped pockets in the sides to store all sorts of bits and bobs. If you take your time to wrap your bike properly (I always take deraileur off), secure it nicely in the bag and pad it out where sensible then it works a treat. If you can't be bothered with bubblewrap and the likes I would opt for the Elite Travel Bike Bag instead though.
