For a new season of mountain biking and traveling to prime trail riding locales, EVOC is giving a new look to some of their mainstay travel bags. First, in a partnership with trials master Danny MacAskill who is always on the road, heading from event to event, they’ve developed a special Signature series of bags for him. The MacAskill bags get a simplified look with a Scottish-inspired heather main fabric and vibrant orange detailing. Then in an ongoing Multicolor series, this season EVOC goes with a more subtle blue, light blue, and yellow look that is available across their lineup. Check out the full range of special edition travel bags available now after the break, plus pricing and some specs on each…
Wherever MacAskill goes, he brings his bike with him to scope out and ride the next unbelievable line for his next feature. We spoke with MacAskill back in May and had a go through his one of his Signature Series packs as part of our Every Day Carry series. The heart of the MacAskill Signature line is of course EVOC’s mainstay 420€, 280l Bike Travel Bag. Since the bike is what keeps the sponsorship bucks rolling in, MacAskill is pretty particular about how his bike travels. To be fair his bikes can probably take some abuse being chucked off of some crazy lines, but no need for that to happen in transit. The 136 x 39 x 80 cm EVOC bike bag is pretty much the standard for hauling mountain bikes, and turns up at a lot of the mountain events we cover from both the pro and amateur side of things. We’ve tested them back as far as 2011, and can safely say that they still offer a reliable way to travel with your trail bike in a soft case.
The MacAskill Rover Trolley is a combination duffel bag and airport roller bag designed to haul a lot of riding gear to and from the airport. The 80l bag sells for 230€ and is available in the MacAskill Heather & Orange, as well as a three other standard colors. The 25l Street MacAskill is a bag specifically developed to meet Danny’s needs. It adds a bit of space to EVOC’s standard pack geared more to skaters. MacAskill’s 90€ version specifically adds an easy access pocket to get to your GoPro and a stowable helmet holder, in addition to the padded notebook compartment and tiny pockets to securely store SD cards and the like.
The new Multicolor series covers a bit wider range than the MacAskill bags, so that you get most of the airline travel packs that EVOC has to offer. In addition to the same Bike Travel Bag, there is the larger 125l World Traveller roller bag for 250€ and smaller 40+20l Terminal roller bag for 230€ with its built-in, zip-off daypack.
Throw in the smaller and more specific all-purpose 20l Messenger bag for 90€ with a 15″ laptop sleeve, 4l Wash bag for 40€ to haul your toiletries, and 25l 80€ Park daypack with up to a 17″ laptop pocket to sort out the small stuff.
All of the MacAskill Signature Series and Multicolor Series packs are available now from EVOC dealers and distributors worldwide.
