IS THE AEROCOMFORT 3.0 ROAD BIKE BAG SAFE FOR FLIGHTS?
The Aerocomfort 3.0 Road bike bag is specifically designed to offer exceptional protection during air travel. Its internal stand securely locks the bike frame, protecting it from potential impacts. However, for modern road bikes, we recommend taking extra precautions for the handlebar, rear triangle, and rear derailleur. To ensure maximum safety, consider purchasing the protection kit, which includes three essential accessories for these vulnerable areas.

Aerocomfort 3.0 bike bag is designed to be checked in as standard luggage for flights. Its dimensions comply with most airline baggage policies, allowing you to travel with your bike just like a regular suitcase. However, we strongly recommend reviewing your airline's specific regulations for oversized or sports equipment, as additional fees may apply. Checking in advance can help you avoid surprises at the check-in counter.
WHY DO YOU CLAIM THAT THE AEROCOMFORT BAG IS SUITABLE FOR AIR TRAVEL, YET THERE ARE REVIEWS FROM CUSTOMERS WHO RECEIVED THEIR BIKE DAMAGED AFTER A FLIGHT?
The Aerocomfort bag was designed over 30 years ago to offer an optimal balance between lightness, compactness, and durability, becoming a benchmark in the air transport of bicycles. Continuous improvements have made it a reliable choice, and it is Scicon Sports' best-selling product. However, it is important to understand that no product, no matter how well-designed, can prevent all potential damage caused by accidents or improper handling during transport. Any damage is not attributable to the quality of the Aerocomfort bag but depends on unforeseeable circumstances, and we will not compensate for damages caused by third parties. Blaming the bag for damage would be like blaming the bike manufacturer for damage caused by a fall. Our mission is to provide the highest level of protection possible, but please consider that there are always external factors beyond our control..

CAN I FIT A ROAD BIKE IN AEROCOMFORT MTB MY19 BIKE BAG?
No, it is not possible to use the Aerocomfort MTB MY19 bag to transport a road bike. While some large road bike frames might fit in the bag, the handlebars need to be removed. This compromises the safety of the transport and could potentially damage the bike during the journey. To ensure proper protection and safe transport, we recommend using the Aerocomfort 3.0 Road, specifically designed for road bikes.
CAN I FIT A MTB IN AEROCOMFORT ROAD OR TRI BIKE BAG?
No, it is not possible to use a Mountain Bike with the Aerocomfort 3.0 Road or Tri bags. The frame geometries of these two types of bikes are different, making the bag incompatible with a MTB. To ensure safe and convenient transport, we recommend choosing the Aerocomfort MTB MY19, specifically designed for Mountain Bikes.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AEROCOMFORT 3.0 ROAD AND TRIATHLON?
The main difference between the two bags lies in the upper section, designed to meet the specific needs of road bikes and Triathlon bikes. The Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon is approximately 132 cm long to accommodate handlebars with extensions of triathlon bikes. The Aerocomfort 3.0 Road is approximately 117 cm long and is suitable for road bikes. Regarding the width in the handlebar area, the Triathlon measures 50 cm, while the Road measures 54 cm. Both versions share the same internal stand with an anti-shock structure. If you wish to use a road bike with the Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon, we recommend checking the dimensions on the product page of the official website and comparing them with your bike. It is not possible to use an Aerocomfort 3.0 Road for Triathlon or Crono bikes.
IS THE AEROCOMFORT 3.0 TRIATHLON BAG COMPATIBLE WITH TRI HANDLEBARS AND EXTENSIONS?
The Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon Bag is specifically designed to fit most triathlon handlebars with extensions without requiring disassembly. However, it’s crucial to verify your bike’s dimensions before making a purchase. Triathlon and time trial bikes, optimized for aerodynamics, often come with unique geometries and components (e.g., integrated handlebars or chainrings up to 56 teeth). In certain cases, these features may necessitate partial disassembly to securely fit the bike into the bag. To avoid any issues, always check your bike’s technical specifications and ensure compatibility.
WHAT CAN I PACK INSIDE THE AEROCOMFORT BAG WHEN TRAVELING?
The Aerocomfort bag is specifically designed to transport and protect your bike, so it’s important to avoid storing heavy items inside. The only recommended storage area is located in the front section, between the fork and the bottom bracket, where you can secure the included Gear Bag to store lightweight clothing or a pair of shoes. Keep in mind that the bag itself weighs approximately 11 kg. Overloading it may compromise the internal anti-shock structure, increasing the risk of damage to your bike.
I’VE ALWAYS USED BIKE BOXES, BUT I’D LIKE TO TRY AEROCOMFORT. IS IT SAFE?
Aerocomfort has been specifically designed to provide excellent protection for your bike during air travel and has been trusted by cyclists worldwide for over 30 years. With the evolution of high-end carbon bikes equipped with electronic components, integrated handlebars, and internal cables, Aerocomfort has become the preferred choice thanks to its simplicity and safety, eliminating the need for complex disassembly. To further enhance protection for the handlebar and rear triangle, the Protection Kit is now available. This essential accessory set includes a handlebar protector, a rear triangle protector, and a dedicated bag for the rear derailleur (which should be removed for added safety). Additionally, it is recommended to place the bike wheels with the brake discs facing inward. By following these precautions, Aerocomfort becomes a highly secure solution, capable of protecting your bike from violent impacts during transportation.
