SBB back on the TranZbag

The lack of space in the bicycle compartments of SBB trains has often caused red heads and heated discussions in recent months. As a possible solution, SBB is now relying on a tried-and-tested solution once again: it recently became an official partner of the TranZbag transport bag.

By reintroducing the TranZbag into its official sales program, SBB is demonstrating its goodwill towards cyclists. It is promoting the free transportation of bicycles in luggage bags. Of course, this is not without self-interest: packed bikes take up less space and hardly pollute the train. Nevertheless, the move can be seen as a positive signal. Nevertheless, SBB recommends finding out in advance about any transport restrictions or special regulations on individual connections or with individual transport partners in Swiss or international transport.

SBB offers the revised TranZbag. It is made of stronger fabric than its predecessor and can be closed with robust zippers. Thanks to a new, variable fork protector, the TranZbag now also fits freeride and enduro bikes with a thru-axle on the front wheel. After use, the 770 gram transport bag can be stowed away in the compact hip bag.

The TranZbag is available at the recommended retail price of CHF 89.90 from the SBB online store, at ticket counters in selected larger stations or from specialist bike retailers.
