Best Bikepacking Bikes of 2024

[@JakeLuke308]

I must admit to coveting the Esker Lorax Ti. What a looker! I purchased an Esker Japhy frame this year and had it built up by my local shop...just awesome.

[@JoeFoxJr]

I’ve got to plug the Solace Cycles OM-2P with a pinion gearbox. I rode the GDMBR on it this summer and it was fantastic. Absolutely the perfect bike for a long trip like that.

[@FATKEVMTB]

Glad to see the Moonlander on the list 👍🏼

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

Refreshing to hear, as there is a lot of hate around that bike.

[@davidjfife]

I love my Co-Motion tandems and single bikes. Their new Tumulo looks fantastic.

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

Thanks Neil! REally appreciate you an what you guys are doing! Heres to 2025!!

[@Gang1955]

Would love to see the Co-Motion Tumalo. Seems to fit rigid and suspension forks + the pinion gearbox! 🤩

[@Mike-vd2qt]

Black Mountain Cycles, La Cabra. Drop-bar, compliant steel tubeset, assembled with hand built wheels by Mike Varley. (he has been in the bike industry since the 1980's). Happy trails in 2024☮

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

It made our list last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2a1i6ONbMhmbs0si=TGwGsMde1OsOzD3q

[@Krueger444]

I picked up a Brodie Elan Vital 2.0 this year - A steel framed drop bar ATB. It was great in the summer, and now it's just cruising in the snow through the winter. I'd love to see your take on it. I'd also love to see a Panorama Boreal Pinion

[@hgodfrey]

It’s frustrating to see no affordable bikes here. These hipster brands and Gucci hand made bikes are all well and good, but most of us will buy a Marin, Genesis or Sonder in the UK.

[@mattsmith2015]

In fairness this is a 'best of' award so it's logical that the list is mostly higher end bikes. Perhaps next time they can include a best value category, but the Chisel would have won that award anyways.

[@stevekelly6544]

Really? I’d disagree- the stooge frame set is totally affordable-the Chisel isn’t really high end either…

[@biihbitoodniihatathlie5776]

Just buy a surly

[@mattsmith2015]

I was not trying to choose a best value bike. Just trying to show the op that not all the bikes were expensive high end bikes and that the Chisel was a good example of a moderate bike for moderate money.

[@Brad-cb2dt]

The best bike-packing bike is one you actually take bike-packing. Be it a Walmart bike, a Brompton, or a top-of-the-line tour-divide-ready steed. Just saddle up and get out there.

[@K1989L]

I had the Bridge club. It was great for everyday commuting and hauling. I just wish Surly would drop the stupid gnot-boost thing. The bridge club would be easier to ise with just 10x135 compatibility at the back. Also they shoud rise the stack.

[@mlentz8421]

Just ordered my Sirius S6 (steel)!!!

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

Such a fun bike.

[@Plast_and_Cars]

I like Esker how it looks! But probably never see this this bike in real life.

[@big_bird8597]

Damn bro had me waiting like a couple weeks for this, I stopped waiting and bought my Fargo last night instead 😂

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

Great bike!

[@ChazHarding]

I've got a Fargo - it's the best bike I've ever owned...

[@jonpoon3896]

Love my Fairlight Secan 2.0. That 3.0 surely has gotten my attention

[@shaunphillips6468]

Please review the Mason ISO

[@markmartello]

How about a Jones Bike? I've got a LWB that I am really enjoying for off road/gravel road riding.

[@mlentz8421]

We need a tall tale review!

[@gurkpojken]

I thought you would put ghost grappler in the group ,but I suppose its not that ultimate as the bridge club

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

It was already tested and made our 2022 list. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2PRnqeYjcmcnKcsi=92hSCmkNQqPpvdB4

[@gurkpojken]

@BIKEPACKINGcom ahh, thats great. Thank you. A Surly in some form is on my wishlist, just a hard choice to pick the right.

[@JuanMendoza-yk8nv]

@@gurkpojkenkarate Monkey in Mint Green looks so nice as well as a Krampus.

[@gurkpojken]

@@JuanMendoza-yk8nv its a hard thing to choose

[@mikegibson8198]

Check out Brother Big Bro if in the UK, just got one myself. Cracking bike, especially when bought on cycle to work scheme.

[@stevekelly6544]

Test the Cinelli Hobootleg Geo- they have a new paint job for it, camo fork, looks great.

[@jpinthehouse-z6t]

I would put my 2023 ALR5 Trek against these bikes for bike packing. 21.5 lbs gravel bike with 45 x 700 29er wheel tire set up .... 2 x 11 gears and unbelievable geometry!! drop down handle bars and great components!! And hydraulic braking that is stellar!!

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

Sounds like a great bike!

[@simonlode3798]

Stridsland beachcomber is deffintly missing!!

[@danwebber9494]

I’ve owned an Esker and a Cotic BFE max, currently riding a Stooge dirt tracker. Looks like I’m in good company.

[@Paco15151]

Damn I'm still waiting for that Dualist, it'd be a perfect replacement for my Marin DSX ... Too bad it's so late ...

[@HuntersCyclingAdventures]

I’m surprised the priority Gemini didn’t make the cut

[@johnnyloco11]

damn it I want all these bikes

[@jeremylukedominicbate7482]

Nice bikes... I'm getting my very own Clandestine custom early in the new year, exciting!

[@mohomoho1]

I'd like to see Jeff Jones to an aluminum version of his 29 plus with a steel or titanium truss fork. maybe even a carbon fork.

[@ryandulaney48]

…. But but but where is MY bike?!

[@coreyreeder3549]

Dont sleep on Poseidon bikes for affordable adventure

[@Kristian_Saile]

Wasn’t expecting to see the Chisel FS on here but just picked up that Comp version for all the reasons you listed. Also, your b roll for these bikes makes me miss living in Gunnison/CB in the mid 90’s. Over due for a visit

[@ABFPV584]

BIKES!!!

[@stevekelly6544]

The Lorax is so nice…..

[@StarEssences]

That is why I love them; Cost Effective natural landscape travels :) ( for those who love to be out and about in nature).

[@J.0422]

you should try a propain terrel! its supposed to be nearly a drop bar mtb but could be a great budget contender since the base model is only 2.5k fully built

[@pitchwife7573]

no love for the thorn sherpa?

[@SgtMajor82]

Most of these cost more than I have life insurance for! How about a video for people starting off?

[@7RideR3]

What about jamis sequel ?

people do not need overpriced bicycles the whole industry will understand this when people stop buying

[@odinata]

This is a lot of frosting and not a lot of cake

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

Find all the detailed reviews in the description.

[@moosehand8721]

[@scottsimmons849]

[@BIKEPACKINGcom]

[@jered2177]

Zizzo forte and zizzo liberte both folding bicycles​@@BIKEPACKINGcom

[@JoelRussell-e7m]

Old trek singletrack new bikes suck

[@jessetremaine4390]

I had a 1997 from about 2013-2016. Several new bikes now, and they are all better in every way except cost. But I’d happily ride a singletrack again - just not so much on actual singletrack.
