Preparing for a bikepacking expedition

BIKEPACKING

Small, but happy.

For an adventurous cyclist, mounting brackets are one of the most important things. Today we will tell you about them in the context of preparations for a bikepacking holiday in the saddle.

Mounting brackets – it is important that they are present.

We admit that we are not fans of backpacks while driving. However, we want the bike to accompany you in many situations, including on expeditions. That's why we offer as standard a maximum number of mounting screws that allow you to attach mudguards, a rear and front rack, a toolbox, three water bottles, panniers or bikepacking bags, and a kickstand.

For shorter trips

you will need: a water bottle holder, the so-called a half-fin that can be mounted with screws and a frame bag mounted with Velcro or screws on the upper tube at the steering head. It is always possible to attach a practical, detachable sadle bag - a small toolbox that is worth having with you for every occasion.

For longer trips

there are more mounting variants. Water bottles can be mounted in classic baskets on the frame, but also under the frame. A trunk with panniers, a large saddle bag, a large fin for the entire frame, if you want to conquer the world or mix them into any constellation. Either way, there will definitely be a place for a hammock.

In Colorado, installation is possible:

tool room – a small saddle bag under the saddle. Quickly unfastened and you can take it with you;
handle bag - mounted on the handlebar;
triangles, tubes or fins on the frame near the steering head for a small, handy toolbox, phone holder, etc.;
triangles, tubes, half a fin under the tube.

medium and large capacity saddle bag;
large handle bag;
large fins under the frame.

Our offer includes Ortlieb Quick Rack alu black rear rack and Ortlieb Rack 3 QL3 rear rack. Plus Ortlieb bags.

Remember to be guided primarily by your own needs and preferences in this sea of possibilities. Fortunately, they can change, and the Koloride bike will always keep up with them.

Bikepacking in Scotland – 14 Days Among Mountains, Rain, and Fog

14 days in Scotland, only three of which were rain-free. Mountains, fog, canceled ferries, nights spent camping, and gravel routes that make up for all the hardships. Natalia Nykiel took her titanium GRAIN Ti from Koloride on a trip through the Scottish Highlands. She shares what delighted her, what surprised her, and how to prepare for bikepacking in a place where the weather likes to have a mind of its own.

1x or 2x drivetrain for a gravel bike? Which one should you choose?

1x or 2x? I don’t start by talking about the number of chainrings, but rather where and how you’ll be riding. A modern 1x drivetrain can offer a wider gear range than a classic 2x setup, but the larger gaps between gear ratios won’t suit everyone. I’ll explain when I’d choose 1x, when I’d choose 2x, and why the answer isn’t at all obvious when it comes to mountain biking, bikepacking, or ultra-distance rides.

Gravel vs. MTB – Which Bike Should You Choose for Forest Trails?

Gravel or MTB in the woods? It all depends on what your trails are like. Gravel excels on gravel roads, forest trails, and long distances. Roots, rocks, and technical singletrack—that’s MTB territory. We’ll show you where the line is drawn and when it’s worth taking a look at monster gravel bikes.

Morocco from a cyclist's perspective. Gravel, mountains, the ocean, and GRAIN Ti-Koloride

Morocco on a gravel bike? Definitely yes. The Atlantic Ocean, argan groves, mountains, rocky trails, long climbs, awesome descents, and local food. Natalia rode the Moroccan trails on a GRAIN Ti-Koloride and shares what a trip like this is like from a cyclist’s perspective—what’s amazing, what can be exhausting, and how to prepare.

How do you choose a gravel bike that suits your riding style without focusing solely on price?

Buying a gravel bike often starts with one question: How much do I want to spend? That's natural. But there's another question that's much more important: What kind of bike will suit my riding style?

Bicycle Lights: What Really Matters?

Bicycle lights are one of those pieces of equipment that most cyclists don’t start thinking about until they’re riding home after dark for the first time. In practice, however, good lighting comes in handy much more often—during an autumn training ride, a morning commute to work, an all-day trip that unexpectedly runs long, or a multi-day bikepacking adventure.

Bike Configurator – What Is the Bike Design Process Like at Koloride?

In a world of off-the-shelf specs and bikes “for everyone,” more and more people are looking for something that’s a better fit. Not just in terms of appearance, but above all in terms of riding characteristics, comfort, and how they’re used.

Aluminum or titanium gravel bike? The material is just the beginning of the decision-making process.

In gravel cycling, it’s easy to focus solely on the components, weight, or trendy technical features. However, one of the most important decisions remains the choice of frame material. It is this material that largely determines the bike’s character, how it absorbs bumps, how it feels during long rides, and its future customization options. However, there is no single material that is “best for everyone.”
