We built our first bike case so that we could continue to live our dream of traveling and racing. We quickly discovered that many others like us had been eagerly awaiting a solution to this problem of how to travel with a bike without breaking the bank, and word of our innovation spread organically. Since we launched the Airport Ninja in 2012, our customers have taken over 50,000 flights and saved more than $7 million in bike fees.

The B2 is the next step in the evolution of lightweight, compact bicycle travel luggage. With more advanced design and features than previous models, the B2 offers the versatility to fit a wider range of bikes, new options for carrying and transport, more internal and external gear pockets, a more convenient packing process, and compact storage when not in use.

An injection-molded nylon base adds rigidity to the case in the width and length dimensions, while stiff polycarbonate armor panels protect the height dimension and side impacts. Stowable, padded backpack straps provide a convenient hands-free carry option. Four lockable swivel wheels allow the case to be rolled rather than carried, so if you prefer to carry another backpack, or would just rather not shoulder the weight of the packed case, there is an easy alternative. The rigid base and wheels also allow the case can stand upright self-supported for easier packing.

Packing B2 requires only one additional step over a traditional bike case, and reduces overall dimensions by two linear feet over its next closest competitor. 15 minutes of packing can save as much as $500 in additional baggage fees on one round-trip flight. The size isn't just important for saving on bike fees. The B2, as well as the Airport Ninja and Sub62 of course, are the only bike cases that fit within the dimensional requirements for Amtrak and Eurail trains, fit easily in any size rental car or taxi, and will travel conveniently on public transportation such as subway or bus.

Also unlike its competitors, you won't need to dedicate an entire closet or corner of the garage to store the B2 when it's not in use. The B2 can be disassembled in seconds and packed down to 1/3 its full size, allowing it to easily fit wherever you need it go - underneath a bed, behind a couch, or in a closet. This comes in handy during travel as well - empty bike cases won't take up precious space in your hotel room, team van, or rental car.

As always, having your prized possession arrive in one piece is non-negotiable. Not only are the protective materials of the B2 engineered to withstand the onslaught of travel, the case is designed from the ground up to smartly avoid common hazardous scenarios. Its light weight, ample carry straps, and convenient wheels mean airline employees and TSA officials can easily move it around without pushing or dropping it. The zippered closure and intuitive packing configuration means that TSA won't leave the case in disarray, as we've seen many times with hard plastic clamshell designs. Beneath the 1680 denier ballistics nylon shell lies incredibly stiff polycarbonate armor, backed by energy absorbing polyethylene foam padding. Multiple internal and external pockets and two padded wheel bags keep all your equipment compartmentalized and protected through everything the bag will experience from check-in to baggage claim. 

We've created two sizes of the B2. The B2-R is the 'standard' size that fits most any bike, and the B2-SM is an ultra-compact version for smaller road bikes. 

B2-R

The B2-R will fit most drop-handlebar bikes (road, gravel, cyclocross) up to ~61cm. Larger road bikes may fit depending on specific geometry. If you're unsure your bike will fit, please email us with the size and model of your bike or bikes for personalized sizing recommendations. 

B2-SM

The B2-SM will fit road bikes up to 56cm. Smaller sizes of gravel and cyclocross bikes may fit depending on specific geometry.
