Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 TSA review: Travel made easy

No disassembly is required but will it keep your bike safe on a plane.

Cyclingnews Verdict

It seems prudent to take the rear derailleur off if you have thru-axles, but otherwise, you really don’t need to disassemble the bike and I’ve seen it survive countless trips with no issues. Just keep an eye on what your ground transportation options are and flared gravel bars aren’t ideal.

No disassembly required

Instructions are printed on the bag

Accessories bag stays attached to limit movement

Options for shouldering it if needed

Incredibly smooth wheels

Stores easily

Metal derailleur cage isn’t useable with a thru axle

Large overall size, so difficult to fit in cars or on trains

I'm writing this review in the middle of winter. It's cold, it's wet, it's grey, and it's generally rather miserable. There's nothing I'd rather do than get outside on my bike in decent weather. Unfortunately, if I want to do that, the only option is going to involve an aeroplane. Flying with a bike isn't that big of a deal provided you've got a quality case, but as always, the question is which one? 

To help find the right protection for your bike on an aeroplane, we've got an expansive list of the best bike travel cases . In that list, there are hardshell options and softshell options and one thing you might notice is that many of the cases require disassembly. If that doesn't sound like your idea of a good time, there are a few that promise to keep your bike almost entirely assembled and fully intact. One of those is the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 road bike travel bag, which like its closest competitor, the Evoc Road Bike Bag Pro , only asks that you remove your wheels and pedals. 

The Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 road bike travel bag promises easy protection without disassembly and it’s popular. I gave it a try after getting a tip from someone who travels with bikes regularly but that wasn't the first or only time I saw it. If I find myself with a group of cyclists who flew somewhere, there's usually more than one person using it. Given the suggestion and popularity, it was time for me to give it a proper try. If you like the idea of travelling without taking your bike apart, keep reading to see what's good, and what's not about the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 road bike travel bag.

Design and aesthetics 

The backbone of the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 road bike travel bag is the base of the bag. From the outside, you'll notice there are rigid plastic pieces at the front and back. These plates sit under the four wheels that rotate 360 degrees. They also cap off the edges of a rectangular section that makes up the base. Like the rest of the Scicon bag, it's soft with dense padding and covered in an extra-durable vinyl outer. 

The real structure of the design is on the inside though. Taking care of your bike is a pair of square metal tubes that sit a little wider than the widest part of your cranks. This little frame is what protects your bike and provides stability for the rest of the bag. At the rear, the two bars connect into a thick and rigid bit of plastic that arches upward before ending in with a receiver. In the accessories provided, there are two pieces of metal in the shape of a T. One fits a quick release and the other a thru-axle. Both attach to the base with a screw and they both have a bit of rubber where the chain sits once you've removed the wheel. 

At the other end of the metal bars, you'll find more of the same plastic. This time it's at the base and there is a central spine where you can balance the centre of the frame under the bottom bracket white packing. The design of this piece makes it look like a good place to rest tools but, with no tools needed, that isn’t likely to see a lot of use. When the bike is fully attached to the frame of the bag, the bottom bracket shell doesn’t touch the base at all. 

At the front of the spine is another receiver hole for your front axle. This time there is another length of square metal bar. Once you slide the bar into the plastic, you can move it fore and aft to match the wheelbase of your bike before tightening it down. 

With your bike locked down into the frame at the bottom, that's the end of the hard part. From there you employ a series of straps and pads to hold the bike tightly against the bottom frame and keep it from moving around. The wheels go on either side to help provide structure to the upper part of the bag but the design uses a heavy nylon outer with dense padding around 13mm thick to also protect the bike from impacts. At the front, there's an extra strip of padding that you can move so that it sits over each of your drop bar controls. There's also a spot of hard plastic over where the derailleur sits as well as in the centre of each wheel. What's more, there is a metal cage that provides protection for the derailleur, howver it only attaches with a quick release so those with thru-axles won't be able to take advantage of this feature. 

Performance

Packing a bike into the Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 TSA is simple. The whole process takes maybe 15 minutes, perhaps as much as 30 minutes when you are first figuring it out. The hardest part is that the outer fabric shell doesn't open enough at the ends. This means it's tough to get the piece that holds the fork positioned in the receiver hole and to slide it around once you do manage to get it in. At the other end, it's really hard to get the bag around the derailleur. Once you manage those two minor struggles, all you have to do is position the straps and clip them in. 

Everything in the upper section of the bag is about holding the bike to the lower frame. At the front, you wrap a pad around each side of the bars on the flats and attach a strap with a buckle over the top. At the rear of the bike, there is a saddle cover with loops for the strap to go through. The last strap goes over the top tube and there is another pad to protect the frame. The only trick with the centre strap is that it also pulls the sides of the case closed, so remember to get the wheels in the wheel bags first. 

With all the straps in position you just need to zip the bag closed. It's not terribly hard but getting the front positioned around the drops and controls might take a bit of finesse. You might also find yourself repositioning the padding to protect the levers but none of it's tough. 

At this point, you are ready to head to the airport, however, I wouldn't head out the door until I removed the derailleur. 

If you recall above how I said it was tough to get the case over the derailleur, that's because there's not a lot of spare room in that area. On the outside, there is hard plastic, plus there is padding, so it's unlikely the actual derailleur is going to get damaged. It seems likely the hanger could get bent though, so it's not a risk I would ordinarily take, was I not testing it for a review.  

Except, somehow bikes seem to survive in this bag. I personally used it with gravel bars that I think are too wide at the drops and suffered no consequences. I've also loaned the bag out to others who also used it without removing the derailleur and suffered no consequences. What you really want to know is if your bike is going to remain safe despite staying assembled and the answer is yes. I've had positive personal experiences to draw from, but perhaps more tellingly, the last time I flew with a bike there were three other people there with Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 TSA bags and none of us had any issues. 

The negatives I listed seem to be more theoretical than real life. If I was going to leave the derailleur attached to the bike, I'd want to have the metal cage usable. It's not usable with thru-axles so I prefer to take it off. Others don't though and it seems to work fine. 

The story about difficulty with ground transportation is somewhat similar. I have managed to get the Topeak PakGo X into the back of a regular sedan and I doubt that would work with the Scicon. That said, I called for Lyft XL each time I used it and I managed just fine. The strap for your shoulder combined with the low (17.1 kg packed with a gravel bike) weight and excellent wheels actually makes it more flexible in an airport than the Topeak. 

There is another aspect to consider as well. The Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 TSA Bike Travel Bag has been out for a long time. During that time on market, the price has dropped quite a bit. These days it's looking like a really good bargain and it usually undercuts its main competitor, the Evoc Road Bike Bag Pro . That bag offers a similar no-tools experience but with a little more protection thanks to its hard upper shell. However it's a much larger bag to store when not in use, and is a little more difficult to manoeuvre than the Scicon.

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 triathlon bike bag review

Is this top-end triathlon bike bag the answer to all of your transport troubles? Matt Baird tests out the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 to find out...

Hardshell cases tend to offer your bike more protection if you’re navigating the queues and baggage chuckers to fly to foreign climes to race or train.

Yet they’re hard to store at both the hotel and home, their appeal limited to those with double garages and/or very understanding partners.

That's where a stashable loft-friendly softshell comes in, such as the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon bag.

For those with triathlon bikes, the Aerocomfort’s USP is the internal bike stand, which means you can, once the wheels are removed, attach the remaining bike to the mounting mechanisms without needing to dismantle your integrated tri-bars (the bag’s sizing means that those going for the road bike/ clip-on tri-bar option will need to remove the clip-ons first).

Happily, those mounts are suitable for both calliper and disc brake wheels.

As that £650 price for a softshell suggests, there are plenty of bells and whistles here in the form of protective pouches for bars, tubes and the saddle, while an included padlock and a gear bag for helmets, shoes, etc, adds to the welcome package.

Where the Aerocomfort falls down is leaving the front-end shifters more exposed and having a rear derailleur protector that isn’t compatible with disc-brake bikes, which seems an omission in 2022 and makes me worry about rear mech damage (an extra £60 gets you padded brake and gear covers).

The wheels and straps conquered a two-mile test walk through a Bristol heatwave, though, looking better than we did on arrival home.

Verdict: Points for triathlon specificity, but we have shifter concerns.

Pair this with...

Topeak mini 20 pro mini tool.

A bike tool is an invaluable piece of kit and it's one that would undoubtedly come into its own when travelling with your bike, as it'll allow you to perform certain tasks when you need to, such as putting your pride and joy back together when you land.

This Topeak option has a claimed weight of just 151g, yet has nearly a couple of dozen handy tools at your disposal. These include a chain tool, Allen wrenches, torx wrenches, screwdrivers, spoke wrenches, a tyre lever and an all-important bottle opener.

Product Description

HI-SPEED PACKING

The clever design of the SCICON AeroComfort Road 3.0 TSA bike travel bag takes the stress out of dismantling and reassembling your bike, because it allows the bike to remain almost fully intact. There is no need to tamper with the complicated internal wiring of your bike anymore. You don’t even have to take off the pedals. Ready to fly or ready to race in minutes

AT A GLANCE

Hybrid protection system

The hybrid protection system combines a padded outer soft shell and an integrated frame stand compatible with both quick release and thru axle skewer systems. While the internal Frame Defender protects your bike from impacts, it also doubles up as a bike stand. Advanced protection features include a smart belt system that holds your bike frame firmly in place as well as rigid protection shields to protect the bike’s most critical areas and fragile parts.

The upright position of the bike, ¾ length zipper around the bag and individual internal wheel pockets mean customs and security personnel can inspect your bike without having to remove it from the bike bag. While a TSA padlock protects provides added security – only allowing access to TSA agents.

NO NEED TO REMOVE HANDLEBARS

Minimal disassembly of your bike. All that you need to remove are the bike’s wheels. Complementing a good bike fit, you don’t even have to remove the handlebars or seat post.

TRAVEL SENTRY APPROVED

A TSA padlock ensures the safety of the bike as well as access to the bike travel bag to customs authorities in the USA, Canada and many other international airports.

The Scicon AeroComfort Triathlon 3.0 TSA is a lightweight bike bag, designed to protect your pride and joy from damage when traveling. Only requiring the removal of your wheelset, Scicon AeroComfort Triathlon 3.0 TSA is also one of the easiest triathlon-specific bike bags to pack, so, if you need a bike bag that offers genuine peace of mind while simultaneously allowing you to pack your bike in minutes - you've found it.

While the metal frame defender and sturdy nylon straps ensure that the bike is safely affixed in the main compartment of the bag, the frame, fork, components and finishing kit are protected by the padding woven into the outer panels of the bag and the removable padded protectors. The bag even has an in-built rear-mech protector to defend this particularly exposed component from knocks and abrasions. The wheels neatly slot into the padded side pockets of the bag to complete this incredibly simple packing process. For a full guided tutorial on how easy it is to pack the Scicon AeroComfort Triathlon 3.0 TSA, take a look at the video below.

Fortunately, fixtures, fittings and frame sizes shouldn't be a cause for concern with the Scicon Aero Comfort Triathlon 3.0 Bike Bag. The mainframe defender accepts both 12mm thru-axels and QR wheel axel fittings and accommodates a range of frame sizes from extra-small to extra-large.

While the basic structure of this bag holds your bike upright and very secure during transit, the opening process is also remarkably straightforward. With just one simple zip, you (or a customs officer) can access your bike quickly with minimal fuss, avoiding any unnecessary embarrassment in a busy airport terminal. The entire structure rests upon eight durable wheels which rotate 360 degrees to allow easy maneuver over any terrain - from smooth floors to uneven pathways.

• Easy to pack, lightweight bike bag
• Weight: 8kgs
• Minimal disassembly required
• Dedicated pockets for components and wheels
• Rear derailleur defender
• 360-degree rotating wheels for increased maneuverability
• Compatible with 12mm thru-axle front and rear with included adapter kit

Customer Reviews

Top customer reviews.

I bought this bag for a recent triathlon training camp in Lanzarote. My old Cervelo P3 fitted inside like a glove and it was easy to pack. The bike was transported safely; however, on the outward flight the hard plastic sphere on the outside of the bag, which protects the wheel hub, was ripped off by the baggage handlers. This is stitched on and I now need to find someone to repair it. If this protection was inside the wheel bag instead of the outside, this would prevent the issue. Overall, a good bag which is light and easy to manoeuvre around the airport.

Was this helpful?

I lost feeling in my legs

Will be wearing it to my next dinner party

Recent Bike Bag Purchase

Very happy to purchase and receive these 2 quality bike bags for my wife and I for upcoming travels. Price was great and the delivery was fantastic during the pandemic and supply chain challenges. Probike answered inquiries very quickly and followed up with excellent results. thanks

Almost perfect

I had some high expectations when I bought this Bag. I have used a lot of different methods to transport my bike to races and I had noticed this bag at several airports. Sadly, it is not one size fits all. It is a long way from just taking off your wheels and strapping it in. First thing I noticed is that it is not compatible with most rear hydration set ups. Fortunately mine comes off with just a couple of screws. Secondly, as others have mentioned, the pedals really need to come off. But the biggest disappointment is that I had to loosen my aero bars and rotate then downward to get the bag closed. (54cm Cervelo P2 DI2) Again, not a big deal. But just more adjustment to make to get the bike ready. Still, it is a marked improvement over any of my other transport boxes. Extremely well made. Easy to adjust and set up. Light weight makes it a breeze to get through airports. Doesn't take up a lot of space in hotel rooms when empty.

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 Triathlon bike bag

Overall, way better than a bike box as very little disassembly required to pack the bike. Easy to tow. Room to pack other stuff like helmet, wetsuit, pump. Seemed to survive its first flight ok. However, on first use packing the bike seemed more involved than expected as the instructions don't cover everything and you need to watch the video clip closely a few times to pick up everything you need to know. Also, the lock nut provided to lock the frame in place is useless, as it is too wide to fit across the tube and the threaded stem broke on its first use.

Scicon bike bag

Scicon without doubt the best bike on the market, bikes with disc brakes perfect it does also have the fitting for non disc brakes ref the skewers

My first 70.3 IM I had to travel and this bag was the best purchase! Protected my bike was easy to use and held up! Oh and I didn’t have to pay extra to check on AA.

So Convenient!!

I borrowed the second generation of this bag for several trips & loved it. It is so easy to pack & protects my bike quite well. The new version adds exterior handles for lifting which is really nice.

After doing a lot of research between soft and hard case, I finally decided for the best soft case available on the market. I am frequently flying by plane so what finally decided me was the super lightweight of this scicon. I did 2 trips by plane and it is still bran new, and the most important is that the bike landed without any scratch or little damaged. It takes no more than 20 minutes to packed your bike, you just need to deflate and remove the wheels, that all!. Aerobars, pedals, seat, stays in the same place and you still have a lot of room to place more stuff (i packed my wetsuit, shoes, helmets and running shoes inside it and i was still under 23 kg) A personal experience is that when i finished my race, I packed my bike in 20 minutes and i saw a lot of competitors that took almost an hour to pack their bikes to the bonza hard case, really happy with this purchase and highly recommended.

SCICON Aerocomfort - Amazingly Simple

Great case, durable and very easy/intuitive to use.

• Construction
• Value and conclusion

I won’t lie: I have a fear of travelling with my bike. I’ve tried pretty much everything - cardboard box one time, a flimsy, cheap soft shell the other. I’ve even once wrapped a bike up in dozens of bin bags and loaded it gently and fearfully onto the floor of a bus luggage compartment (the bike survived).

Thankfully, dear reader, you will be put at ease by learning that in recent years I have had a much better soft shell case that has mostly done the job, although it still hasn’t dealt with my (irrational or justified?) fear of hopping on planes with my bike.

So when I got the chance to test out the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 bike bag, conveniently just before a bikepacking holiday in the Dolomites, I was naturally excited. I mean, look at the thing! Its shape perfectly forms around a bike stripped of its wheels; there is hard casing at the bottom which keeps the chain and derailleur off the ground; and it looks like there’s enough padding to survive the aggressive throws of a tired airport baggage handler.

Two months and no less than four flights later, the Scicon bag has almost put me at complete ease with taking my bike on a flight. The Italian brand gets the thumbs-up from me and comes highly recommended as it's easily one of the best bike bags .

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0: construction

The Aerocomfort 3.0 is a soft, fabric bag on the outside, made from high density woven nylon. Inside, there is an internal metal bike stand that ensures that the frame is kept off the ground. All you do is remove both wheels, fit the chain over a purpose-built T-bar, and slide the bike onto the metal frame via quick releases or thru-axles.

The wheels go into pockets on separate sides of the bag, the handlebar, the seat post and the saddle stay in place, and I didn’t even remove the pedals. There are straps to keep the bag close to the frame, as well as top tube, handlebar and saddle protectors - the latter, however, was too small to fit over my saddle.

And that’s it. Zip it up, attach the straps to pull it along and job’s a good’un - off yer go.

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0: in use

Packing up my bike into the Scicon Aerocomfort took as little as 20 minutes. It really was that quick (my competitive tendencies were disappointed, however, by reading some reports of a record of 10 minutes to pack everything up). The first time took a little longer as I found both the paper and video instructions quite poor, but I quickly got the hang of it.

At the other end, it was a case of unzipping the bag and every single time I found my bike secure, without any scratches, nothing broken, and ready to be ridden after just 15 minutes of refitting the wheels and packing everything away. It was a breeze.

I was impressed by mostly everything, but there are a few points worth bringing it up. Namely, I wasn’t convinced by the protection given to the rear derailleur even if it did loop over a T-bar, and the last time I used the bag I did have to tighten the derailleur back to the frame as it had come loose a little bit. I also read various reviews on the internet of bent hangers, not helped by the bag having to lie down on airport luggage belts. That said, they appear to be rare cases.

I found the wheel pockets provided ample protection for my disc brakes, and they would also fit in wider gravel tires. I’m not sure flared handlebars would easily squeeze into the bag though.

Fitting inside the bag were my clothes, helmet, shoes and everything else I took with me, and though I didn’t use the provided gearbag as I had my bikepacking bags , it was a nice touch.

Pulling the bag along through the airport was made easy by the removable strap, although it would have been nice to have had a handle when carrying the bag up and down stairs. The four small wheels are solid, but do have a tendency to want to spin around more than is necessary.

Once the bike is set-up, the Scicon Aerocomfort folds down into about a third of its size, and is accompanied by a plastic bag that when wrapped over the soft shell bag stops it from unfolding more. It’s still quite bulky, however, and will take up the entire back row of any car.

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0: value and conclusion

Something this good, effortless and hassle-free, and something that makes travelling with a bike so incredibly quick and easy does come with a price tag to match - $569 /£447.

It’s a lot of money, for sure, but about the same price as the Evoc Bike Travel Bag, and other high-end soft shell bike bags. The Scicon Aerocomfort definitely gives you peace of mind.

If you want 10/10 protection, go with a hard shell case, but if you want a very quick and easy bag to travel with that is unlikely to damage your precious toy inside and permit you to be riding 15 minutes after collecting it off the luggage belt, the Scicon Aerocomfort ticks every single box. Certainly, I’m keeping mine for good.
