SciCon AeroComfort MTB TSA Bike Case Review

Mountain biking continues to grow by leaps and bounds and with that growth there are more races and opportunities for riders to travel. But, with that travel comes the inevitable hassle of finding a secure case in which to pack your 29er — most road bike cases are just too small. SciCon has you and your bike covered with its Aerocomfort Mountain Bike TSA Bag. This soft-sided bag cradles your bike for safety while providing the ease of a soft case for travel and storage. The SciCon Aerocomfort is specifically tailored to fit the size and geometry of mountain bikes.

A kit adapter (sold separately) is available to convert the QR/Thru Axles to quick release if necessary.

The wheel pockets are double padded and an internal strap attaches through your bike’s main triangle holding them parallel to each other. The ABF, ISS, and integrated wheelbags all work in conjunction to create a secure, travel environment for your bike. The case is e…
