Deuter RACE 8 Bike Backpack

Named RACE, made for action: the RACE 8 bike backpack by deuter is clingy, but in a good way, and at the same time ready for adventure.

The ergonomically-shaped hip fins and shoulder straps fit snugly and ensure a wobble-free fit on demanding trails. The light, airy mesh fabric of the straps and the tried-and-tested deuter AIRSTRIPES SYSTEM ensure ideal ventilation on sporty trails. The 8-litre version is the smallest size in the RACE series and is ideal for day trips with minimal luggage.

Everything has its place in this bike backpack: In addition to the large main compartment, there are numerous extra features that offer plenty of storage space for your equipment, such as a separate mobile phone pocket, elastic side pockets for water bottles and a goggle holder. And because respect for nature is essential when mountain biking, deuter has focused on sustainability with this bike backpack. The main material consists entirely of recycled material and the backpack was produced climate neutrally and PFC-free. In short: The RACE 8 is the ideal bike backpack for all those who value comfort and the environment!

BLUESIGN:
bluesign is a strict standard for environmental protection, safety at work and consumer protection. All environmentally-relevant production processes are critically examined and permanently optimised in terms of: choice of materials, energy and water consumption, air emissions, water emissions, noise levels, waste and use of chemicals. Products receive the “bluesign-approved” label when they are made at least 90% from bluesign certified materials.

deuter AIRSTRIPES SYSTEM:
In every riding situation, a bike backpack has to fit firmly on the back. Thanks to a reduced contact surface of the Airstripes pads with their ventilation channels, a Wide AirMesh cover and gaps between the pads, this system provides maximum air circulation and a secure, snug fit. What’s more, the weight is held closely to the body at all times. Centrifugal forces can hardly act and the backpack cannot swing out. Anatomic shoulder straps guarantee high freedom of movement. The chest strap can be adjusted with one hand and reliably keeps the shoulder straps in position. Mesh hip fins ensure a snug fit in any riding situation. The construction of the Airstripes pads made up of a tight and a soft foam layer ensures high comfort and best load distribution.

PFC FREE:
PFC is a group of chemicals acting as intermediates, auxiliary materials or breakdown products of certain fluorocarbon compounds. They are used in garment production to impregnate clothing due to their durable water- and grease-repellent properties. However, PFC residues are non-biodegradable and may be harmful. This product is free from PFC.
