This video discusses the benefits of Zinn Travel bikes and shows them in action. We strive to make the best bikes in the world, and our travel bikes are fully engineered to meet the performance needs of our customers, and at the same time, packing easily into an airline approved case. There are many travel bikes out there including folding bikes. The problem with folding bikes, is that they have 20 inch wheels in most cases. Obviously, a small wheel is going to greatly reduce the performance of the bike. Most folding bikes I’ve seen perform like a beach cruiser, not a high performance road or mountain bike. That’s fine if you just want to cruise the boardwalks in Malibu, but if you want to go to the alps and ride the Dolomites, check out the scenery in New Zealand, or enter a race in another state, you really need a good bike. With a Zinn travel bike, you’ll be riding a high performance bike that fits pefectly when you get to your destination.

You may notice in this video that the Titanium travel bike has 4 couplers in the frame and one in the stem. We offer 4 coupler bikes mainly to Taller riders to prevent them from needing to remove the fork to pack it into the 10″ S&S case. With only two couplers, fork removal is necessary for most riders over 6’2″. If you travel a lot, that is a pain. If you are only going to travel a couple of times a year, it’s probably not too big of a deal to remove the fork. We’ve also had many average sized riders get the 4 couplers in order to just make packing easier. The coupler on the stem is there for quicker packing and to protect the handlebar from repeated removal and reinstallation. We also use slotted cable stops with inline barrel adjusters so the cables can easily be removed from the bike without losing any adjustment. Everything will be adjusted just like you left it when you put your bike back together.Stay tuned for our instructional video of the packin process.
