Trailrunner
The Trailrunner is a hybrid tent for 1.5 people with one vestibule. The construction is characterized by an external pole, which speeds up the pitching and unpitching of the tent. The tent is attached to the poles via clips. The outer and inner tent are already connected to each other. Two aluminium pole hubs ensure a high level of wind stability. The additional ridge pole offers sufficient headroom in the inner tent. Mosquito mesh at the head and foot ends and in the door ensure good ventilation inside the tent. The pack size is handy and optimized for bike packing or other packing options. The Trailrunner can even accommodate two people, who get along well – ideal for getting started with trekking or bike packing adventures. For an overnight stay for two we recommend the self-inflating mats from our Lito mat series.

Your bikepacking sleep system

A tent needs a mat and a sleeping bag. These four pack small enough for a handlebar roll or saddle bag:

All lightweight sleeping mats →All bikepacking sleeping bags →

What makes a good bikepacking tent

On the bike, pack size matters more than the last gram. The tent has to fit in the handlebar roll and the poles in the frame bag. That is why our bikepacking tents come with a stuff sack you shorten once the poles are out: to 25 cm on the Zero G Line and 30 cm on the Travel Line. Pole sections are shorter than 42 cm, and 39 cm on the carbon poles of the Aeron and Zephyr.

All models are hybrid tents with external poles that give the tent its shape. No tent is fully freestanding; to get the best from it, always use pegs. Weights are given as trail weight: fly, inner and poles, without pegs, guy lines and stuff sacks.

Which bikepacking tent suits you?

One-person bikepacking tent

The Aeron 1 weighs 766 g and has the smallest pack size at 40 x 10 cm, our lightest choice for long days with little kit. The Exogen 1 (1,130 g) uses a 20D flysheet. Bella and Trailrunner are roomy 1.5-person tents that sleep two at a push.

Two-person bikepacking tent

The Aeron 2 weighs 1,086 g, only 320 g more than the Aeron 1, and gives you room for bags inside. Exogen 2 and Donna have two doors. If you are tall, choose the Exogen 2 XL with 245 cm sleeping length. Riding as a pair, you split tent and poles between two bikes.

Touring bikes and mixed trips

Venture 1 and Trailrunner from the Travel Line have a 68D ripstop polyester flysheet with 5,000 mm hydrostatic head and a 7,000 mm floor. In return they weigh around 1.9 kg.

Exogen 2: 1,656 g trail weight, two doors.

How to pack the tent on your bike

  1. Take the poles out of the stuff sack and put them in the frame bag or across the handlebar roll.
  2. Shorten the stuff sack with fly and inner: 25 cm on the Zero G Line, 30 cm on the Travel Line.
  3. Tent in the handlebar roll, pegs in a small top tube bag.
  4. Mat and sleeping bag in the saddle bag. This spreads the weight and keeps the bike steady.

On stony pitches a matching groundsheet protects the tent floor. There is one for every bikepacking tent.

Cycling tent for touring with panniers

With a rack and panniers, pack size is less tight. A bike tent with a 40 to 45 cm packed length still leaves more room in your panniers for food and clothing.

Riding as three? We do not make a three-person bikepacking tent with a shortenable stuff sack. The Exogen 3 weighs 2,211 g with a pack size of 45 x 22 cm; split tent, poles and pegs between three bikes. More models are in our 3 man tents.

Spare parts and repairs on tour

If a pole section breaks on tour, you do not need a new tent. Our spare parts service supplies individual sections. Larger damage is fixed by our repair service, in the UK through our partner Scottish Mountain Gear.

Bikepacking tents: frequently asked questions

How much does a bikepacking tent weigh?

Our bikepacking tents weigh between 766 g (Aeron 1) and 1,884 g (Trailrunner) trail weight. The two-person models start at 1,086 g (Aeron 2).

Why does pole section length matter?

It decides whether the poles fit across the handlebar roll or into the frame bag without sticking out. On our bikepacking tents the sections are under 42 cm, and 39 cm on the carbon poles of the Aeron and Zephyr.

Does a bikepacking tent stand without pegs?

The external poles give the hybrid tents their shape; Aeron 1 and 2 are semi-freestanding. No tent is fully freestanding; to get the best from it, always use pegs and guy out the lines in wind.

Which sleeping mat and sleeping bag go with it?

The Aera M air mat weighs 490 g with an R-value of 6 and packs to 20 x 12 cm. The Pyro 250 down sleeping bag weighs 480 g without stuff sack (M) and is rated to a 7 °C comfort temperature, the Pyro 500 to 3 °C. Together, Aera M and Pyro 250 weigh 970 g. See our ultralight sleeping mats and bikepacking sleeping bags.

Do I need a groundsheet?

It protects the tent floor on gravel, rock and roots. There is a matching groundsheet for every bikepacking tent.
