AMPLIFI E-Track 17

EMTB 013 e mountainbike rucksack test backpack review 39 1140x760

The AMPLIFI E-Track 17 is the little brother of the AMPLIFI E-Track 23 and was released in autumn 2017 as a compact daypack with 17 L capacity. Both backpacks are identical except for the slightly smaller back part with a smaller back protector. Due to the shorter back part, the backpack is also suitable for smaller riders. However, it is not suitable for transporting very long batteries – if you ride a Specialized Levo, for example, the backpack is too small for the battery. Regarding fit, workmanship, and ventilation, however, it is in no way inferior to its big brother.

The compartment layout inside is excellent. If you don’t want to take a lot of stuff anyway and don’t have a massive battery, you’ll find a well thought-out trail backpack that holds everything you need safely in place. But you won’t be saving money, as the E-Track 17 costs as much as the big E-Track 23.
