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.
