    Cycling backpacks are adapted to the requirements of cyclists, in particular to their sitting position, and do not influence the road behaviour in any way. Typical features are a body-hugging fit and good ventilation of the back. The upright, wind-cut body is usually equipped with a chest belt and a hip belt. With a correctly adjusted bike backpack, the waist belt sits above the hip bone so that it does not disturb when pedalling. Important: The backpack must not press even though it is securely attached. Wide, padded shoulder straps make the backpack comfortable to carry. Relevant features also include the empty weight of the rucksack and its materials. Sporty nylon and polyester versions usually weigh no more than 1 kilo. In contrast, an urban bicycle backpack made of leather can weigh up to two kilos. Many brands rely on water-repellent impregnation and a roll top closure to protect against moisture. Besides rain, outdoor backpacks are exposed to mud splashes and high load. The best cycling backpacks for outdoor use are made of high-tech materials. These are not only extremely durable, but also very easy to clean. Many city bike backpacks are also made of synthetic materials such as Cordura nylon or tarpaulin and offer a volume of 5 to 25 litres. Some versions feature a padded laptop compartment and a lock attachment. In general, backpacks with a capacity of 5 to 15 litres are suitable for short city tours. Models with a capacity of 15 to 25 litres are designed for longer day trips. Multi-day tours require larger backpacks with a capacity of 25 to 40 litres. A compromise is offered by expandable cycling backpacks with a roll top closure or a stretch pleat: they provide additional storage space when needed.

    Bike backpacks with many functional features

    Cycling backpacks impress with a practical helmet holder, often in the form of a mesh compartment or a rubber lacing. Holders for bike lights as well as reflectors provide more safety in city traffic or on tour. Even though most backpacks are made of water-repellent fabrics, many models have an extra rain cover for heavy rain, because water-repellent is not the same as waterproof. The cover can also serve as a practical dust or dirt protection. For sporty designs, compression straps and a compartment for the drinking system are also part of the standard equipment. The cycle backpack with a drinking system offers space for a water bladder, which can be purchased separately. The drinking pipe is fixed to the shoulder strap so that you don't have to hold it or take a break to drink on the way. Bicycle backpacks with a drinking system are among the typical outdoor designs and are a must for long tours. A laptop compartment is obligatory for waterproof city versions: it holds the sensitive technology on the way to the office and protects it from shocks. Larger models have reinforced carrying handles. This is also often the case with so-called courier backpacks. These bike backpacks can be recognised by their rectangular format, at least in A4 size, waterproof materials and a roll-top cover with a click closure. In addition to these meanwhile classic backpack models, there are also separable bicycle backpacks with a circumferential zipper, so that they can be attached individually to both sides of the carrier - or be carried on the back using a zipper. Modern bike backpacks are equipped with user-friendly click systems so that they can be attached and removed without any tools - usually just by being lifted. Outdoor companies also offer special backpacks for women that are designed according to the anatomical specifics of the female body.

    Cycling backpacks with special features

    Sports bikes for racing and mountain biking do not have a carrier, so the backpacks are always carried on the back. For cyclists who regularly conquer the steepest trails, a bike backpack with back protector is therefore recommended - it protects the spine from injury in case of possible falls. The correct seat is particularly important here: for optimum effect, the bike backpack with back protector must not slip during the ride. Models with built-in back protectors replace special protective vests and trump with a lot of storage space for all the necessary equipment. In addition, the best bike backpacks for off-road riding are equipped with wide hip fins to prevent the backpack from sliding forward on steep downhills. The so-called transalp rucksacks are also equipped with special features: these spacious models with a volume of 35 litres and more have a compartment for wet clothes and an emergency whistle. Extra slim-cut backpacks are available for racing cyclists. Minimalist X- and V-shaped backpacks cannot hold much more than one drinking bladder and are appropriately labelled "hydration packs".
