Cycling Weekly Verdict

The RoundTrip is certainly better than a simple soft bag, but still has some fundamental weak spots, which will leave you worrying as you wave goodbye to your steed at the baggage drop. For a fiver short of £500, we’d expect total peace of mind.

This is a soft shell bike case with a difference — its clever, dual-purpose design means it can double as a workstand.

The base, which holds the bike static in the case, can have three legs added, transforming it into a workstand for when you get to your destination.

As a flight bag the base does a good job of holding the bike securely so that when it’s combined with the rigid tub everything is safely stowed. The sides of the bag are reinforced with plastic panels that can be removed to improve access. However, half an hour in the sun saw the panels expand making them almost impossible to get back in — less than handy if you’re rushing to catch a flight.
