Working side by side with some of the most experienced people within the bike scene Db came up with The Savage. A revolutionary bike bag that is inspired by the lifesaving roll cages used in racing cars, the construction of The Savage centers around the unique and patented Db Roll Cage. An internal frame work protects the bike while simultaneously creating stability and structure for the bag. Downhill, MTB and Freestyle bikes are all welcome in this new "one bag to rule them all" product from Db.

Db Roll Cage: The patented Db Roll Cage offers superior protection against impact and pressure loads compared to a conventional soft bag. Because of the aluminum frame, The Savage performs like a hybrid between a soft bag and a hard case bag with a very good protection-to-weight ratio.

Packability: The Savage has the same advantages as a soft bag, meaning that it weighs much less than a hard case bag and can also be collapsed and rolled up for easy storage, where it can be compressed to 35% of its full size. The assembling and disassembling of the frame is quick and easy and requires no tools.

Size: One bag fits all. The Savage is designed to fit any type of mountain bike from Freestyle bikes to Downhill, and plus size bikes. With the included Road Bike Handlebar Adaptor the bag will also handle any type of road bike with a curved, detachable handlebar. The generous length of the bag allows bikes with long wheelbases, up to 130cm to fit inside the bag. One bag to rule them all.

Preparing the bike on the side of the bag: Preparing the bike is easy as you can do this on the side of the bag. Attach the bike to the bike block and the fork protector before you install the bike to the bottom track in the bag.

Handlebar protection: The Savage offers enhanced protection of the handlebar gear- and brake shifters. One end of the handlebar is protected by a padded pocket on the fork protector and the other end of the handlebar is protected by Db’s unique handlebar protector.

Secure fastening of the bike: The self-standing structure of the patented Db Roll Cage allows for a very efficient attachment of the bike to the bag. The bike is mounted inside the cage in a centered, upright position and secured with straps. To keep the bike steady during transportation, all the bike straps features buckles with locking levers, which prevent the straps from slipping and the bike from shifting position.

 The protection offer by this bag looks great, but many flights (at least in Australia) have a maximum baggage weight of 23kgs. You'd be lucky to fit a carbon hardtail in the bag and come under that limit!

 Hmm, with the amount of ironwork in that I am very sceptical it 'only' weighs 11.8kg!!

 Any real-life long-term reviews out there? How's the product surviving many flights? Good protection for the bike? Durable?

 I've used one on multiple round-trips this year with my MTB, Road and gravel rigs. It's holding up great and I've had nary a concern with the bike. FWIW I think it's easier to pack than an EVOC too, only downside for me is it's a bit heavy; so I've learned how to avoid putting the bag on the scale at checkin!
