Visually, the Ergon Enduro backpack with its two-part pack sack takes some getting used to, but it sits comfortably and unobtrusively on the back straight away.

The idea behind the unconventional design is that the rucksack should be extremely flexible and particularly brilliant when transporting a full-face helmet. Both work very well in practice, but not significantly better than comparable top products. A 2.5-litre hydration bladder fits in the lower storage compartment, but this is almost full. A back protector is available separately.

The smaller version, the BE1, is recommended for enduro racers. Touring riders may also miss the flexibility of a full-length storage compartment in the large version (BE3).
