XLC E-Bike-Rucksack BA-S82

EMTB 013 e mountainbike rucksack test backpack review 18 1140x760

The Winora Group from Schweinfurt offers bike components and accessories in the budget price segment under the brand name XLC. The XLC BA-S82 eMTB backpack looks like a slimmed-down version of the AMPLIFI E-Track 23. The price difference of 50 € is the result of simpler materials. The savings are achieved by a less well-ventilated back, simpler shoulder and hip straps, and an outer material that looks a little cheap. Comfort is limited by the simple back padding with less mesh and therefore less ventilation, so it’s not as good as the AMPLIFI. However, there are no significant differences with the other features.

The layout of the compartments is well thought-out, and you can make good use of the space. Also, the battery compartment doesn’t differ from the AMPLIFI E-Track 23, so the classic Bosch and Shimano batteries will fit comfortably, and it will take the other models with some restrictions. The high-quality SAS-TEC back protector provides adequate protection.


Strengths

– lots of ebike backpack for little money
– large back protector
– many features

Weaknesses

– limited comfort, back padding uncomfortable
