SCICON AEROCOMFORT 3.0 TSA Route Transport Bag

Love it. Simple to use. You should perhaps half the price

I was nervous about a soft case bike case, but I know several people who use this one, so I decided to get one. It’s pretty easy to get the bike in; only take off the wheels and pedals. I’ve traveled with it on 3 times now and no problems. It’s easy to move around once it’s packed. The only concern I have is that the rear derailleur is vulnerable. The previous model had a metal cage that went over it but I guess that was discontinued.

It is simple to pack the bike and to transport it. But one has to deinstall the rear derailleur. Already on my first flight it arrived with a bent hanger and the shifting did not work . In so far the advertisement and the video of S ion is misleading

Great travel case. I only take off the wheels. I put extra protection on the rear derailer. Easy to use. I feel it’s a little too short of a rail for my domane bike but works perfectly for my Cervelo . Easy to push through the airport.It is ripping already at a seam on the bottom .

I was a bit concerned shipping my bike on the plane. Shipping and packing was as easy as ordering the Bike bag. The seat cover did not fit my seat :-(.I was super happy how easy it was to put my bike, wheels and ease of securing my bike in the back. The wheels are one of the best parts of the bag. it rolls in any direction you need it to with such ease.I used pipe wrap on the frame for extra padding.I will be making MANY more trips with my bike on the plane. So much easier than renting a bike and trying to make it fit to me.

Shipping a bike is always a risk dependent how TSA handles it and who is handling your bag, but this bag underperformed given the price point. I used this once on a flight, and within 1 trip the wheel covers were ripping off the bag and my disk brake was bent on arrival and I had to go to the bike shop for repair.For reference -- I put a 61 cm S-works SL7 in the bag with a 120mm stem in the bag, it was an extremely tight fit, but a 100mm stem probably would've fit fine.Pros: Packing was relatively straight forward with the exception of instructions on skewering the forks. Instruction there was unclear. No need to take off pedals/seatpost, but I did take off the derailleur out of caution.Cons: Large and prone to tipping over due to the size. Not very durable (wheel covers ripped off from the outside of the bag). It did feel like the wheel protection was lacking, and my disks were bent on arrival.

Excellent road bag. Initially came without the gear bag. Called Amazon to help but they wanted me to return the entire bag. Called up Scicon and got some help there from Peter, who is sending out the missing gear bag, which hosts some pretty pertinent pieces for the overall bag. Thanks again Scicon

No protection for brakes / shiftersI returned it on 12/9/24 and still have not received my refund. Impossible to get customer service from Amazon so I’m now disputing with the credit card company
