Best Bikepacking Bikes of 2024

[@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.

[@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.

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

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

[@Plast_and_Cars]

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

[@jonpoon3896]

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

[@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

[@ryandulaney48]

…. But but but where is MY bike?!

[@HuntersCyclingAdventures]

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

[@stevekelly6544]

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

[@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!

[@mlentz8421]

We need a tall tale review!

[@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 ...

[@johnnyloco11]

damn it I want all these bikes

[@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.

[@stevekelly6544]

The Lorax is so nice…..

[@pitchwife7573]

no love for the thorn sherpa?

[@danwebber9494]

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

[@ABFPV584]

BIKES!!!

[@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

[@7Sure3]

What about jamis sequel ?

[@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

[@jeremylukedominicbate7482]

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

[@StarEssences]

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

[@jrh2015]

and speaking of the bikepacking journal that came in the mail a while back, it still smells like an old nursing home. Ya'll seriously need to review the paper that that thing is printed on cuz it smells like shit.

[@jrh2015]

There is no way that big stupid, overly expensive, moonlander made the list. WTF? Thumbs down for this video.

[@moosehand8721]

No thanks, i just buy old used bikes.

[@JoelRussell-e7m]

Old trek singletrack new bikes suck
