We’re fans of the original Thule RoundTrip Duffel, putting it into regular rotation since its debut. But there were clear limitations when packing it for a big mountain bike trip, not the least of which was the size of the helmets and shoes compared to road or gravel kits.
Now, they’ve solved for that with the new 70L RoundTrip MTB Duffel, a specialized gear bag targeting mountain bikers who need more storage capacity for bulky equipment.
The larger size and larger interior pockets fit full-face helmets, protective padding, rain gear, and even small-to-medium hydration packs. But that’s not the only reason we think it’s better…it’s also about the modular organization design.
Rather than structured small pockets that can’t be changed, the RoundTrip MTB has full-width adjustable dividers that let you create the container size you need. And, each of those dividers has smaller pockets to keep things like mini-tools, tire levers, gels, etc., organized and not rolling around loose.
It also adds a standing pad for changing clothes or shoes, which doubles as a great place to lay out tools during pre- and post-ride repairs.
It keeps the tarpaulin-lined shoe compartment for easy cleaning after particularly muddy rides. Specialized protection for goggles and glasses keeps those safe and clean, too.
