Bikepacking can be one of the most rewarding and empowering ways to travel. All you have to do is load up your bike with everything you need and head off to explore somewhere new.<\/p>

Whether you’re riding into the sunset on the open road, or heading off-road on an adventure into the wilderness, here\u2019s what you need to look for when dreaming up the bikepacking bike for your ride \u2013 or looking to adapt your current setup.<\/p>

What is a bikepacking bike?<\/h2>

In short, any bike can be a bikepacking bike.<\/p>

In fact, that’s one of the joys of bikepacking. You can strap bikepacking bags<\/a> to just about anything before heading out on an adventure.<\/p>

However, certain features and choices can help make a bike better suited for multi-day touring, whether that\u2019s something fundamental such as geometry, or tyre and component selection.<\/p>

Indeed, while it’s true that some bikes are designed specifically with bikepacking<\/a> in mind \u2013 with lots of mounting points for luggage, for example \u2013 with some careful tweaking, you can also adapt your current bike to be better prepared for your upcoming ride.<\/p>
