On an extensive tour, every mountain biker needs the right companion for food, spare parts or items that are needed along the way. Muc-Off now offers the new Ride Pack bike rucksack for this purpose. The MTB backpack has a number of features and its robust materials are also made for demanding conditions on the road. After all, not every tour is a picture-book ride, and not every MTB excursion starts and ends in glorious sunshine.
Muc-Off Ride Pack: Versatile features in your luggage
The Ride Pack from Muc-Off is made from almost indestructible Cordura material and offers a number of features that can be useful on a MTB tour. Two adjustable goodies at the lower end take e.g. Knee pads when they are not needed when travelling. The external fastening system, similar to the military MOLLE system, also makes it possible to attach additional pouches to create more storage space. Optionally, a back protector and a hydration system can also be accommodated in the rucksack. Muc-Off has also thought of a soft padded goggle compartment, but this is not included.
Thanks to the roll-top design, the storage space of the backpack can be maximised to 20 litres. The Climate Control cooling system allows air to circulate in all areas - keeping the backpack cool and comfortable both inside and out.
The most important features of the Ride Pack
- Waterproof 900D Cordura fabric
- DWR coating - permanently water-repellent
- Modular design - expandable storage space
