EVOC Road Bike Bag Pro Case, Long Term Review: Works for Gravel Bikes Too!

evoc road bike bag pro case review

“EVOC was born when we started designing and building bags for our own needs: sophisticated products of the highest quality with reasonable features. We noticed on trips to remote locations that the last thing you want is to worry about the functionality of your equipment. It was not long before friends and riders we met started asking us for our gear, so the idea gradually turned into a business.” – EVOC Sports

    Looks great, but at 30 pounds it is going to put most gravel bikes over the 50 lb weight limit. I use a similarly shaped Air Caddy which weighs 21 lbs and costs a LOT less. With the Air Caddy you leave the rear wheel and handlebars on. I can leave on fenders and a rear rack as well and store a front rack inside it for cycle touring.

      It is 22.6lbs, not 30lbs. Both systems definitely have some good merits!

    Convenience factor, off the charts… airport check-in stealth factor; low. Maybe JOM had good luck with it, but this bag doesn’t seem like it would sneak past most check-in gates as #notabicycle

      No hiding the fact it isn’t a bicycle, I was asked every time by the agent, “Is that a bicycle?” Before airlines such as Delta and American changed their policies on bicycles a few years ago, this would have resulted in a $150 – $200 fee each way. Nowadays, it counts as a first or second bag, depending on how much stuff you bring onboard. In my case with American, $40 for the second bag (aka the bicycle).

    My BMC URS gravel bike has a wheelbase of 108cm so presumably will not fit. Are you able to comment on how accurate / conservative this limit is? Thanks 🙂

      Hello, I don’t have a BMC URS in my possession to confirm. However, I reviewed a size medium some time ago, and it fit inside the case sans issues. Good luck!
