Swiss cycling kit icon Assos has paired up with Norwegian luggage maker Db to create what they call the ultimate 3-piece Bike Travel bag setup. Sold as a single set, Db combines a soft-sided rectangular 50L Roamer Pro Split Duffel backpack, a Torq Trunk shoe bag to go inside, and a Crown Case reinforced helmet carrier to strap on the outside. They tailored each bag to meet the packing needs of a wide range of cyclists, keeping our riding gear organized and separated from the rest of your clean kit.

Assos x Db Bike Travel Bag 3-piece luggage set for cyclists

We were impressed with the look and quality of some of the previous bike travel bags from the unfortunately-named Db (the artist formerly known as Douchebags). But those seem to have disappeared from Db’s lineup, as they’ve focused on more traditional luggage. So when we saw that Assos had partnered with Db for cyclists-specific luggage, we were curious to take a closer look, and will probably look to reviewing the gear in the near future. After all, my go-to luggage for almost a decade of personal and work travels was made for cyclists, too.

For now, though, we just have PR details, images, and a few stats to peruse. But there’s still plenty to look deeper into, and to pique our interest even more…

Roamer Pro Split Duffel 50L

This fully recycled-material “Roamer Pro Slit Duffel 50L” is a standard backpack already in the regular DB offerings, which normally sells for 239€ on its own. It’s a 51cm x 28cm x 32cm soft box-shaped pack with a padded back panel and 2 aluminum rods sewn-in to give it structure. Its official outer volume dimensions are actually only 45L, making its inner carrying capacity a bit less than that, certainly not the 50L of its name. (Although, we’re guessing that might be a nod to 50L being the max standard size limit for airline carry-ons, even though this bag is technically 5-8cm taller/thicker than most airlines allow.)

The Split Duffel unsurprisingly splits down the middle with a big wraparound zipper, creating two main body compartments separated by a water-resistant lining to keep clean & dirty gear apart, with thin zippered pockets inside, too.

On the outside, fixed padded ergonomic shoulder straps make it easy to carry as a backpack (but less suited to become airline-checked luggage). Large top & rear straps make it easy to move around, a zip side pocket gives quick access to small items, and lashing points serve to attach more gear, like the helmet case.

Torq Trunk soft shoe bag

Add to the Roamer, the Torq Trunk is a new for Db 37cm x 25cm x 17cm bag to keep your shoes & pedals separated from even your dirty cycling kit. Four smaller pockets (3 padded,1 unpadded) organize your two pedals, tools, and socks, shoe covers, & leg/knee warmers, respectively. Db sized the Torq Trunk to drop into one side of the Roamer, together with bidons, tech gear, and maybe your sweaty kit post-ride.

Crown Case helmet carrier

Lastly, Db designed the seemingly lightly-padded, all-new Crown Case clamshell helmet carrier bag to hang from the Roamer with an integrated clip. Db designed it to fit up to an XL helmet (not MTB visors, though). Then, there’s an extra mesh accessory pocket from the outside, that fills the inner volume of the helmet where your head would be with small items like your sunglasses, ride electronics, or other small items.
