Pros
- Excellent protection with rigid base and reinforced sides
- Integrated work stand is highly practical for travel and home use
- Fits modern 29er MTBs with wide tires
Cons
- Heavy and often overweight when packed with a bike
- Large external dimensions result in oversize airline classification
- Premium price point compared with simpler soft bags

"The Thule RoundTrip offers excellent protection and great organization but is not especially light, so you can expect to be paying for overweight baggage with most airlines."
Pros
- Very protective structure with HDPE tub and reinforced sides
- Packs down for storage despite robust construction
- Integrated stand simplifies bike assembly and maintenance
Cons
- Heavy for frequent flyers on strict airline weight limits
- Collapsible sides lack the full rigidity of a hard shell
- High price relative to basic travel bags
BikeMag9
"The Thule RoundTrip MTB is unique in that it works with both gravel and mountain bikes, comes with a collapsible work stand, and folds into itself for storage."
Pros
- Versatile for both gravel and MTB setups
- Integrated work stand is a standout feature
- Collapses into itself for easier storage between trips
Cons
- Bulky for smaller vehicles and tight hotel rooms
- Weight and size make airline fees likely on long trips

Quick Tips
- Use the integrated stand to fully secure the frame by the fork and rear axle before adding padding and wheels.[2][4][5][8]
- Place wheels in the dedicated rotor-protecting pockets with rotors facing away from the frame to reduce bending risk.[2][5][8]
- Use the included drivetrain wrap around rear derailleur, chain and chainring, and add extra padding to high-risk areas like brake levers and shifters.[2][5][8]
