Biknd Helium Bicycle Travel Case - 2012

Biknd Helium Bicycle Travel Case - 2012: The unique bicycle travel case equiped with air protection. Offering the protection of a hard case with the flexability of a soft bag makes this the choice of the Garmin Slipstream proffesional cycling team. The Helium Bike Case was created for globetrotters who travel with their bicycles on airplanes, trains or buses. Traveling with a bicycle has never been this simple: the Helium is light and easy to carry and its revolutionary inflatable padding offers unrivaled protection. Thanks to its minimal dimensions, it fits easily in the boot space of even the smallest cars. Every small detail has been looked into: the Helium bike case has special compartments for an extra wheelset and also for stowing you helmet, shoes and other essentials (pump, spare tubes, etc.) Developed with the input of pro cyclists, whose lives involve frequent air travel with bikes, The Helium is simply the best bike case on the market today. The Helium case is light, offers unsurpassed protections against impacts and allows you to pack your bike with only minor disassembly and without changing the adjustment of its components. The Helium Bike Case uses a combination of light, flexible materials and strategically positioned rigid reinforcements, allowing it to offer excellent protection at a surprisingly low weight of only 9kg (19.8lbs). Not only is the bag easy on your shoulders, it also makes it easy to respect the strict baggage weight restrictions imposed by many airlines. The Helium's unique 360° opening means that packing your bike is easier than ever. It even has enough room for two wheelsets. They specifically designed a proprietary anchoring system for wheels, which guarantees they will be well protected and will not damage your frame in transit. Air Protection: The biggest innovation inside the Helium is its network of inflatable partitions, strategically positioned on either side of the frame. They offer more stability and protection, at a lower weight, than other systems. The partitions are held in place by Velcro straps, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze. The Helium can carry a road bike as large as a 64cm size or a full-suspension freeride mountain bike. Lightweight, flexible, robust, easy to carry and handle, the case has all the qualities a traveler could wish for. Furthermore, packing a bike in an Helium case is quick and easy. Once you've packed your bike and accessories, you simply fill the case's inflatable protections. It's as easy a pumping up a tyre. A conveniently located opening on the side of the case allows easy access to the inflation valve. When you are all done and ready to go, simply throw the pump into the stowage compartment, conveniently located on the side of the case.
