Bike riding is fun, and exploring the world by bike is another order of fun, however…when you’re taking on desert terrain, bike packing, being prepared is a serious business. For our week in and around Sedona, we outfitted our Evergreen SL<\/a>s with a slew of specialized componentry and accessories. The double-butted Ti frames themselves are ideal for this kind of trip, super-durable but also comfortably compliant, so they serve as the perfect platform for this kind of trip.<\/p>\n

1. S&S Couplers – The frame’s S&S couplers<\/a> allow it to be broken down and packed into a travel case that does not incur additional baggage handling fees from the major commercial airlines.<\/p>\n

2. Mechanical disc brakes – The mechanical (i.e. cable actuated) disc brakes can incorporate cable splitters, which make packing and re-assembly easier.<\/p>\n

3 . Prototype light mount at fork race w\/ Schmidt Edelux II generator headlight.<\/p>\n

4. Light and Motion Gobe bar mount lights (x2) – More light = better. \u00a0And they’re 100% waterproof.<\/p>\n

5. Third water bottle – More water = better…especially in the desert.<\/p>\n

6. Porcelain Rocket saddle bag – Expanding saddle storage for tools and parts. You never know what you’ll need, except that sometimes you do.<\/p>\n

7. Drivetrain – 44\/26 front chainrings coupled to 12\/32 rear cassette for long days climbing technical terrain.<\/p>\n

8. Son 28 generator disc hub – For battery-free lighting.<\/p>\n

9. Clement MSO X’Plor 40mm tires – Big for comfort and traction.<\/p>\n

10. Camera, Garmin 1000 & Garmin 810 – Hands free movies and pictures, plus navigation, plus back up navigation.<\/p>\n

11. Prototype rear compression rack w\/ compression bags – This versatile rack is collapsible for easy packing, and features a Ti “web” ideal for strapping bags and other equipment to. Not yet available for purchase, this is the first iteration in what we foresee being a long design cycle. Sea to Summit Compression Bag (x2) – Adaptable storage for all your desert exploration needs.<\/p>\n

12. Ortlieb handlebar bag – Food and other necessaries, at your fingertips.<\/p>\n
