The
trial rider’s equipment
is light and not bulky, something that facilitates the storage and organization of each of the components. However, we are going to review the options offered by manufacturers specialized in trials, both for the trips before getting on the bike, as well as the solutions of fanny packs and backpacks for trials.
If we are looking for a
bag for trial
equipment with good capacity, we have this
Clice
suitcase, whose advantage is that it has wheels and we can fit both the helmet and all the rider’s equipment. It is also possible to include boots, although there is no watertight department for them, perhaps it is not the most hygienic.
The perfect solution for boots is to opt for this
bag for trial boots proposed by
Jitsie. This bag has a separate department for each boot, ensuring that they are completely fixed and without displacement. In addition, it has a practical ventilation grille to prevent odors. This
backpack of trial
boots is especially practical, since the boots always come back dirty from training and it is not advisable to put them together with the rest of the equipment.
Jitsie also offers a
bag for trial helmets
. Here we are in a similar case to trial
boots
, since the helmet should always be stored in its case and independently from the rest of the equipment. This
Jitsie Solid trial helmet backpack
has a tailor-made format for this discipline, also having ventilation. It is offered with handles for carrying.
WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR TRIAL BACKPACK?
As a recommendation, we always carry the following equipment to go to training:
>
Trial kit with trousers and t-shirt
. Optionally we carry a trial vest for spring and autumn seasons.
>
Trial jacket
and raincoat if applicable to the season.
>
Trial socks
. Always two games.
>
Trial gloves
. Here it goes for taste and you can even add a second set of neoprene gloves for trials for the winter.
>
Trial back protector
, either in jacket or vest format.
>
Trial knee pads
. We wear them inside the pants, but there are also external ones like these Hebo Defender trial knee pads.
>
Trial helmet
. Optionally, depending on the weather, with enduro-type goggles.
>
Trial boots
. It never hurts to carry a spare set of fasteners, in case there is a breakage. The foot should always be securely supported.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME FOR TRIALS?
Usually in trials you don’t cover long distances, so we tend to go very light.
If you want to carry hydration, which is highly recommended, we suggest this
Hebo Spyder H20 backpack
. It is very light, with multiple settings and stores 1.5 litres of drink. There is also space for tools, cards and spare parts for the trial bike. His thing is to bring a tube, tubeless puncture repair wicks, a pump, zip ties and duct tape.
In case you’re looking for something lighter, we recommend the
Hebo Hip fanny pack
. It is an extra thin fanny pack, but with the capacity to carry your mobile phone, small keys, money and even a bottle of water like a bike. It has a perfect fit at the waist and prevents you from carrying weight on your back.
Finally, we have the traditional fanny pack options. Both this
Mots
fanny pack and the
Hebo Tech fanny pack
are very similar. The thickness is greater and allows you to carry more tools or food inside. It stands out for having well-organized departments for each of the parts. It’s probably the most traditional and practical option, but it sacrifices hydration.
In any case, it is worth remembering that trial is a discipline that we practice in the middle of the mountains, where there are no cranes or assistance.
You always have to have a minimum of resources to be able to repair a breakdown, hydrate or stay connected. And by the way, be sure to take a look at this
USB charger for trial and enduro bikes
without the need to carry a battery on the bike. It also doesn’t hurt to incorporate this practical
Hebo bottle into our backpacks to carry gasoline
, which can be 1 liter or half liter.
