Protection Designed Around Real Airline Travel
Bike travel cases don’t fail in perfect laboratory conditions — they fail in airports, baggage systems, rental car trunks, hotel parking lots, and rushed TSA inspections.
That’s why Orucase cases are designed around the realities of real-world travel, not just rigid shells or marketing claims.
From the Sentinel’s full aluminum roll cage and armored side panels to the B2’s compact, reinforced structure built around smarter handling and lighter overall weight, each case approaches protection differently based on how riders actually travel.
Over the last 15 years, more than 60,000 riders have trusted Orucase products across 500,000+ flights worldwide. The result is a travel system refined through real experience — balancing protection, portability, and practical usability for modern bikes and modern travel.
Built by Cyclists Who Spent Years Flying With Bikes
Orucase started because we were professional cyclists trying to get to races across the U.S. and around the world without paying massive airline bike fees or dragging oversized hard cases through airports, train stations, rental cars, and hotel rooms.
Back then, most bike travel cases were heavy, awkward, difficult to store, and required major bike disassembly just to get out the door. So we started building our own solutions — first in Vermont with fabric, foam, and a thrift-store sewing machine, then eventually as a company focused entirely on making bike travel easier.
Now based in Reno, Nevada, we’ve spent the last 15 years refining our travel cases through hundreds of thousands of real-world flights, race weekends, gravel camps, MTB trips, and international riding adventures.
Every Orucase product is still built around the same idea:
make traveling with your bike feel less stressful, less bulky, and more practical — so you can focus on the trip itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We guarantee our cases for life against defects in materials and craftsmanship. If something fails because of how it was built—not how it was used—we’ll repair or replace it. No fine print.
-
Hard cases offer maximum impact resistance with rigid shells (often at higher weights), while soft cases are lighter, easier to store, and often sneak past airline oversize fees. Orucase designs hybrid solutions — compact, foldable cases with reinforced protection — giving you the best of both worlds.
-
Yes. The Sentinel fits most road, gravel, and triathlon bikes with handlebars still attached.
The B2 and B2-MTB fit most road, gravel, and trail 29ers with varying amounts disassembly. Email us if you have any questions about your specific
bike. -
Sentinel Hard Case: ~28 lbs depending on setup.
B2-R: 15 lbs.
B2-MTB: 17.5 lbs.This gives you up to 35 lbs of packable weight while staying under the 50 lb airline limit.
-
Most airlines don’t care that it’s a bike — they care about the scale. Staying under 50 lbs is the ticket to avoiding oversized baggage charges.
B2-MTB: The lightest full-size bike travel case on the market. It fits most modern bikes and still gives you plenty of room to pack gear while staying under the limit.
Sentinel: Built tough yet lean. With a standard road or gravel bike packed, it stays under 50 lbs on most airlines.That said, airline policies are constantly shifting. Some carriers are bike-friendly, others are not. Always double-check baggage rules before booking to make sure your adventure starts smooth.
-
All cases are designed for quick pack and unpack. The Sentinel requires the least disassembly - just remove your wheels and pedals. The B2 requires more, but will be easier to maneuver on the road and fitting into taxis. Most customers can pack their bike in 15–20 minutes.
-
If you value your bike (and the money spent on flights), yes. A high-quality case prevents damage from baggage handlers, avoids costly airline fees, and saves the stress of shipping. One damaged derailleur or bent frame can cost more than the case itself.
-
Orucase focuses on airline stealth, weight efficiency, and durability. Our B2 was the first compact case designed to dodge airline fees, and the Sentinel adds the strongest roll-cage system in the industry. Riders trust Orucase for protection, savings, and real-world usability.
Unlike Scicon, EVOC, or Thule, Orucase is the only U.S.-founded and based company designing bike travel cases. We’re not a luggage brand that added a
bike case — we’re two former pro cyclists who built solutions we wished existed when racing and traveling the world. Every case reflects real rider experience, tested on the road, and backed by a lifetime guarantee. -
Yes. All our cases are designed to fold down to a compact footprint for storage in closets, garages, or even under a bed.
