Aerotech Evolution X TSA Case
Let's face it, bikes are expensive. If you travel frequently with yours, it deserves the most protection you can provide and one of the better cases we've come across is the designed in Italy Aerotech Evolution X TSA Case from SciCon. It'll give your bike a fighting chance against heavy-handed baggage attendants and ensure that it arrives unscathed and ready to ride. SciCon uses a high-impact ABS composite for the ultimate in protection while keeping the weight incredibly low at only 11kg or just over 24-pounds. It's one of the most robust and lightest hard shell bike transport cases on the market and it's now compatible with thru-axle systems.
The case requires minimal disassembly of your bicycle with only the wheels, seatpost, and one pedal needing to be removed and the handlebar only needs to be loosened and turned. The bike’s wheels are stored safely in the wheel compartments of the bike travel case while everything is cocooned in padded protection. Furthermore, it maximizes space with dedicated storage areas for the pedals and seatpost and saddle fitting into a special storage bag. Its patented design also houses road and tri bikes with integrated seatposts.
This case gives you the confidence of knowing that your bike will arrive safe and sound at your destination. SciCon developed and tested this case with professional cycling teams and the request for quick release adapters for both thru-axle and quick-release systems was an ask as disc brakes have become more and more ubiquitous. The case is sleek and compact allowing it to fit easily into vehicles and while navigating busy airports. It's equipped with two Travel Sentry approved TSA key locks, making sure your bike is only accessible by TSA agents and protected from any other unwanted access. The dedicated compartments, included shock absorbing tube pads, and clever Suspended Frame System (SFS) hold everything firmly in place, providing extra stability and safety and allow easy visibility for security to inspect the contents without having to remove anything.
Travel, especially moving through busy airports is stressful enough so thankfully SciCon makes it as easy as possible to maneuver. The case features four ball bearing wheels that have 360-degree rotation letting you move with your bike upright and rolling in silence.

Great case/ CX bike won't easily fit
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Great case overall! Design is very solid, so it would need a major impact to damage the bike. Even belligerent airport ground crew will have a hard time damaging the case or bike. Cons: My 58cm Trek Cronus does not easily fit. 1). Rear derailleur must be removed. 2). Front wheel will fit in recessed area, but not easily, even with deflated tire. 3). Rear wheel will not fit at all, due to disk brake and cluster overlap onto (mounted) front wheel. Solution is to wrap r. wheel and lay it in case, zip tie to frame. This amounts to a bit of extra work, so it's not a huge deal, just be aware extra work is required for CX bikes. Get a roll of bubble wrap and painters tape, to keep things like chain from bouncing around.

Great case but not for every bike
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I’ve had this case for several months. It’s a great case but has some limitations. It works best with road bikes, but gravel bikes present some problems. Flared bars can create a bit of a squeeze, but the bigger problem is wide gravel tires (40 mm+) and cassettes with bigger gear combos (40t+). They just don’t fit into the molded areas of the case. Work arounds are taking off tires or not anchoring wheels as designed. Not ideal.

Bike not broken!!! that is the key
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is the second travel bag I have owned and first hard shell. So far so good. The bag protected by bike and once I learned how to pack it, it became a quick process. Major issue that everyone on the web talks about is the tie-down system. These straps ripped on the first trip and I will have to go to home depot to see how I can better secure the bike.

Love it
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Finally started flying with this and it is amazing. It is well made and very intuitive. Importantly, TSA can figure out how to open and close it without screwing-up your bike. This is the most risky aspect for frame damage....the open/close when going through airport security. I bought a second one because I like it so much.
