PACKS
2009 Ergon BD1-M Backpack
The Flink ball joint is one of the many things that make Ergon's packs special. It's a funny name, like a contraction for "flexible link," and Ergon is hoping it will revolutionize packs for cyclists. It can be found in the Ergon BD1 backpack. The pack has two distinctive features -- ...read more
2009 Ergon BD1-W Backpack
Ergon understands that women's bodies are different, and because of that, they make each of their packs in a Women's specific model. The Ergon BD1-W backpack is identical in every way to the BD1-M, except for the fit -- you see, the "W" stands for "Woman", and as one might expect, those packs ...read more
2009 Ergon BD2-M European Edition Backpack
The Ergon BD2-M European Edition Backpack is exclusive to Competitive Cyclist. Until now, our best selling pack has been available only in the Ergon Team Edition Green. While most appreciate the features and functionality of the pack, some just can't go green! We've brought in a small shipment ...read more
2010 Ergon BC2 Pack
The Ergon BC2 backpack offers more room than the BC1 -- both room for storage and room for organization. For all day adventures, the extra storage will be advantageous and allow space for extra clothes, maps, and plenty of food and repair materials. The added weight of being prepared won't be a ...read more
2010 Ergon BC3-M Backpack
When we see a bag that looks as if it's coated in heavy-duty PVC, we know the owner is expecting that bag to be outside for both hell and high water. It's for a Höllentour. That's what we see when we first looked at the Ergon BC3-M pack. The pack looks like a heavy-duty travel bag attached to ...read more
2010 Ergon BH200 Bladder
We wish camels were as easy to care for as the Ergon BH200 bladder. This two-liter bladder is a fittingly high-tech reservoir for Ergon packs. As smart as the people at Ergon are, they realized they didn't need to start from scratch. No need to rebuild the wheel, or bladder, when there is ...read more
2010 Deuter Race EXP Air
When we see EXP, we think "expedition." Uncharted territory, set e.mail on bounceback, set v.mail on not accepting messages; don't know when we'll be back. Better get the full complement of shots as maybe this time we'll end up in a place where we have to worry about Japanese Encephalitis. ...read more
2010 Deuter Race X Air I SL Women's Pack
When we look at the Deuter Race X Air I SL Women's Pack, we can't see any differences from their Race X Air I. Silly us, the differences are staring us in the face. Even though the pack itself is the same, the shoulder straps are a bit narrower, shorter and have more of a contoured S-shape ...read more
2010 Deuter Race X Air I
We're not always the wisest with naming conventions. At first glance, we assumed that the Race X Air and Deuter Race X Air I were the same model because that's how we'd do it. We were wrong. The Race X Air I is a size larger than the X Air. Go figure. The I is larger than the null set. There ...read more
2010 Deuter Race Air Lite
Deuter decided that they didn't have a small-enough pack for those who like to go ultralight. So they created the Deuter Race Air Lite. It has only 350 cubic inches of cargo space that includes a 3 liter reservoir. We've been stupid enough not to pack enough water on our rides. Part of ...read more
