Curated loadouts for every riding style and budget
Ultralight Summer Setup
A dialed sub-8kg base weight loadout built for warm-weather bikepacking. Every gram is scrutinized here — we pair ultralight shelter and sleep systems with minimal bag volume to keep the bike nimble on singletrack and fast on gravel. Ideal for riders who already own a capable bike and want to shave weight without sacrificing a decent night of sleep.
Budget Beginner Kit
Everything you need for your first bikepacking trip without breaking the bank. This sub-$800 loadout proves you do not need top-shelf gear to get out there. We focus on proven, reliable picks that punch above their price point — perfect for riders who want to try bikepacking before committing to premium equipment.
Winter Touring Setup
A 4-season loadout engineered for cold, wet, and unpredictable conditions. Heavier than a summer kit but built to keep you safe and warm when temperatures drop below freezing. Double-wall shelter, a true winter-rated bag, and robust lighting round out a setup designed for short daylight hours and long, cold nights.
Minimalist Overnighter
Strip it down to the essentials for a fast 1-2 night trip. This loadout fits entirely in three small bags, keeps the bike feeling like a bike, and still gives you a proper sleep under the stars. Perfect for after-work escapes or weekend loops where speed and simplicity matter more than creature comforts.
Comfort Touring Setup
When the trip is measured in weeks rather than days, comfort is not a luxury — it is a necessity. This loadout adds a camp chair, a real pillow, a spacious two-person tent for gear storage, and a full cook kit. Heavier, yes, but you will thank yourself on day twelve when you are sitting in camp with a hot meal and a good view.
Gravel Race Kit
Built for supported and unsupported gravel races where every gram and every second counts. This loadout strips bikepacking down to the bare competitive minimum — a bivy-weight shelter, the lightest cook option, and racing-specific bags that stay aero. Think Unbound, Silk Road Mountain Race, or Atlas Mountain Race.
