AcePac have had a great looking stand at Eurobike the last couple of years.

You can find tents, bags, mats, stoves, cookwear…

But AcePac actually specialise in making all kinds of bikepacking bags.

The AcePac handlebar roll has the option of a nifty front bag too.

Water bottles fit nicely into their stem accessory bags.

The Apidura stand was showing some of their bikepacking bags, new and old.

This old set belongs to Lee Craigie, a former professional mountain biker, turned endurance athlete.

Lee and her bike have just come back from cycling the Peru Divide.

Burley had a giant touring trailer amongst their child/dog/cargo trailers.

With two panniers at the rear and cargo space on top – it’s positively ginormous!

There were no new B&M products this year, but the IQ-X is still the brightest dynamo front light with the best light reflector.

This Hilite touring bike was a bit of a show stopper! Weighing in at 9.2kg (20lbs), this titanium bike with carbon forks / rims / fenders, Rotor hydraulic gearing and Schmidt dynamo kit is seriously impressive. Image: CyclingTips

New internal geared hub brand Kindernay was at their first Eurobike.

The Kindernay XIV gearbox lives inside a hub cage. This means you can drop the gearbox out and switch it between bikes.

It also means that it can fit fat bikes, boost bikes and regular frames too.

There is hydraulic shifting to switch through the 14 gears. The gear range is slightly wider than a Rohloff.

I’m looking forward to seeing more from these guys – the hub should be on the market shortly. You can read more about the Kindernay HERE.

Koga had some Ortlieb bikepacking bags on one of their light touring bikes. These are the size large bags; you can see the small bags below.

This Maxx light touring bike was fitted out with Ortlieb’s new Gravel Packs. These are the lightest panniers that Ortlieb have ever made.

Up the front is the Ortlieb Accessory bag which is one of my favourite bits in my bikepacking kit.

On a different bike was this neat dynamo cabling plug system. The dynamo cables are spliced together into a single plug just above the spades.

The single plug then connects to the two spade plugs which can be left permanently on the hub when removing the wheel. A quick and easy solution!

Merida’s new adventure bike is called the Silex. Along with the new bike release, they’re offering a range of bikepacking bags too. An interesting thing about the Merida Silex is that the bike is designed around a single stem length, fork rake and head tube angle. This essentially results in the same steering feel for every size!

The Ortlieb stand had a 1980s touring bike with 25-year-old panniers and some loud graphic design to match.

These Bike Packer bags from the 1980s still look like they will go the miles today.

Thought frame bags are new? Think again.

The turquoise bags on this Tout Terrain compliment the silver colourway quite nicely.

The latest Ortlieb bikepacking bag range now comes in a smaller size.

The new 11-litre Seat Pack reduces the seatpost required to just 6cm. It’s also 30% lighter than the huge 16-litre version.

The new Handlebar Pack S is a much better size for road handlebars. With a smaller roll diameter, there is an extra 4cm of clearance to the front wheel too.

The Cockpit Pack is fully waterproof and is a great location for a camera, phone, wallet or snacks.

The original larger-sized bikepacking bags were on display too.

The Restrap stand was looking great, with a fleet of Bombtrack bikes to showcase their products.

Bikepacking on a singlespeed? I wouldn’t do that…

Some nice small details on the Restrap bags up the front of this bike.

A closer look at the rear saddlebag mounts at the seatpost/seat.

With 27+ wheels, this Bombtrack bikepacking setup is ready for some real backcountry riding.

A gravel-ready Bombtrack with full Restrap bag set.

Restrap had a bottle that suits small bikes with a half framebag, as you need very little space to get the bottle in.

Once plugged in, the bottles look really neat on the bike.

Rohloff’s big news for this year was electric shifting for eBikes! The 14 gears integrate neatly with the Bosch head unit.

The E-14 shifting box is connected to the shifter via a cable.

This Rohloff Speedhub was fitted to a DirtySixer bike which has 36″ wheels to suit someone Shaq’s size!

The Schmidt dynamo hub and light colour range is quite extensive.

Ever wondered what’s inside a Schmidt dynamo hub?

The Surly Karate Monkey 27+ is a trail bike that’s ready for bikepacking adventures.

The Surly Krampus is the 29+ trail bike of choice.

These Surly Moloko touring bars were on the latest iteration of the ECR.

The new Tern cargo electric folding bike. Here it is with six panniers!

The Pack ‘n Pedal has been around for a while now. You can fit these spacious panniers to any bike via the clip-on racks.

The Tout Terrain X.Over series offers bikes for off-road touring and bikepacking. This model is running a Pinion 18-speed gearbox, Gates Carbon Drive and 2.8″ gravel tyres.

Another Pinion bike by Tout Terrain is the Metropolitan Xpress.

The Tout Terrain Tanami GT is a drop bar 29er touring bike with a Rohloff hub and all of the touring accessories.

Up the front it has a Cinq5 The Plug USB charger, a Cinq5 battery and the drop bar Rohloff shifters.

The Cinq 5 road shifters are designed so that you can have Rohloff shifting on integrated brake levers.

The system has one shifter moving towards harder gears, and the other moving towards easier gears.

The Cinq5 The Plug has been around for a long while now, offering a really neat solution to charging from a dynamo hub.

The Van Nicholas Deveron is the top-of-the-range touring bike, complete with a Pinion 18-speed gearbox.

The Van Nicholas light touring bike has provision for a rear rack, but with a full road groupset you’ll need to be careful not to carry too much!

Vaude quietly dropped their new bikepacking bag range at Eurobike 2017.

Using front and rear harness systems and drybags, Vaude have kept the design really simple with this range.

The framebag uses a roll enclosure to keep everything water tight.

You slip the green drybag into the rear harness. From here it doesn’t look particularly stable, and it looks like you need a significant amount of seatpost to use the bag.

The Velotraum stand had the usual single-colour touring bike range.

This yellow light touring bike is ready for a rough gravel road near you.

With balloon tyres and a suspension fork, this Velotraum is ready to go touring anywhere.

Want to keep it simple? Velotraum still make steel 26″ touring bikes with rim brakes and Rohloff hubs.
