Traveling with your bike doesn’t have to be difficult, and Ultix developed a great solution.

The expandable case is the first of its kind in the world, offering adaptable configurations to suit any kind of bike. Not only does this mean your equipment is better protected, but you can save money on extra charges from your airline.

Depending on where you’re going and what you’re taking, the level of protection offered by the case can be changed. The standard version has a hard base and padded sidewalls, while level two adds strengthening rods that give the case a hard shell. For ultimate protection, level three includes inflatable pads that sit in the walls of the case. Other security features include a tracking beacon and accompanying app so you can see where your bike is at any point.

The case is easy to maneuver thanks to well-designed wheels that rotate 360 degrees, as well as eight carry handles. It ships with separate padded protectors for the frame and gear components, so nothing gets damaged in transit.

After successfully raising the funding target on Kickstarter, the makers of the Ultix will be selling the case for $500. Head to the campaign page for more information.
