Test protector backpack Cube Freeride 20+
The large Armourgel protector protects the back over a large area. There are only a few compartments that are difficult to reach.

Volume 2): 20/19 l/drinking system: compatible

BIKE judgement 4): good


CONCLUSION Level 1; the huge Armourgel protector provides extensive protection; the few and not optimally accessible compartments make handling difficult; the huge main compartment becomes a black hole; the actually good, wide hip wings are too high and positioned at the wrong angle.
