Ergon shows new ergonomic luggage

Bikers can choose from three new backpacks from German comfort accessory manufacturer Ergon. When developing the new BX series, the adaptability of the bike tornister to the body was the top priority in the specifications. To ensure that everything fits not only on the back, but also on the handlebar center, new grips from the same manufacturer are also fitted to the bike.

Testing is more important than formulating: Ergon's marketing department throws a few terms around to describe the advantages of the new BX backpacks. There is talk of "innovative load compression", "close to the body and stable transport of luggage" and even of "the best possible body fit thanks to a 4-way back adjustment and a self-regulating carrying system". The description of the individual models is more sober:

With a volume of seven liters, the "BX1" bike backpack has space for the essentials and a compartment for a hydration bladder is also on board. A front pocket and several other organizational compartments ensure that everything stays in order.

The "BX2" has more space with a volume of 10 liters and if things get tight, a volume expansion of 1.5 liters ensures more generous conditions. The hydration bladder compartment is a must and in addition to the front pockets and organizational compartments, the Allrounder also has an integrated rain cover. Reflector inserts are included for safe rides in the dark.

The "BX3" is ideal for extended day trips. Equipped with all the virtues of the previous models, the medium-sized load carrier can also offer a helmet holder and 16 liters of volume, with an additional 3 liters of volume that can be opened with a zipper.

The "BX" backpacks are available in two sizes, the Regular size is made for people between 155 and 175 centimetres tall, while the Large size fits people between 170 and 195 centimetres tall. The backpacks are made from nylon and polyester and do not include the hydration bladder.

New throttle grip
Ergon is sending a new off-road grip onto the trails so that everything is not only aligned according to ergonomic principles on the back - but also on the handlebars. The "GA1 Evo" comes in four stylish colors, weighs 115 grams and is compatible with carbon handlebars. The manufacturer has reduced the weight of the external grip clamp compared to the previous model, and the damping properties of the grip are also said to have improved.
