Only a few months ago I put together the 2019 Bikepacking Bike Buyer’s Guide. This book has been designed to teach you the most important principles of a bikepacking bike, how to size up a bike, how to compare them, and how to, ultimately, choose a bike that best suits your needs. This guide goes alongside my other book, the Touring Bicycle Buyer’s Guide, which covers travel bikes with more of a heavy-duty component focus, as well as provision for a more typical pannier setup.

The cool thing about these guides is that I update them every year for free… and I’m excited to announce the updates are now available!

This has been a BIG update. You’ll find:
