How to pack a Scicon AeroTech Evolution 3.0 TSA bike case

If you need to transport your bike abroad, then the safest way to do this is with a bike box or case. Scicon have a number of high-quality cases that will keep your bike damage-free. We’ve sent our ambassador CyclingCam a Scicon AeroTech Evolution 3.0 TSA case to use for transporting his bike overseas. Watch him expertly take us through how to pack your bike away in the case in simple, easy steps.

 

What is The Scicon AeroTech Evolution 3.0 TSA bike case?

It is a rigid hard thermoplastic ABS shell travel case that protects your bike from damage when you travel abroad. The cycling case is extremely popular amongst professional road cycling teams and has been tested to the maximum by big race teams such as Cannondale, Trek Factory Racing, Cervelo Test Team and many more.

The Case has been Developed and engineered in Italy. It is lightweight and easy to use with full security measures in place such as reinforced TSA key locks. This case offers the maximum protection for your bike to transport anywhere in the world.

How does a Scicon bike case work?

A system called Suspended Frame System (SFS) holds your bike in the case securely in place. It is strapped in just like a car seatbelt system. The soft, cushioned tube pads work to absorb shock from baggage handling and travelling incidents and prevents any rubbing and abrasions on the frame. The well designed and Integrated wheel pockets ensure your wheelset is separated from the bike and the detachable component bag provides plenty of space for your seat post, skewers, pedals and any tools you may want to take with you.
