New Bike Box Large (BBL) Gets Significant Upgrades

PORTLAND, OR (February 18, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Bikeflights, a bicycle shipping service trusted by riders worldwide, is pleased to reveal the latest version of its most popular bike shipping box, the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL). Significant upgrades have made the box easier-to-pack, sturdier and more recyclable.

“We leveraged customer and partner feedback along with our experience shipping millions of bikes all over the world to make the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) even better,” said Bikeflights President William Alcorn. “We reviewed every detail of our box and figured out what we could change to improve our customers’ experience of packing and shipping bikes.”

Packing a bike into the latest version of the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) only takes a few minutes because it requires minimal bike disassembly, and every part of the bike has its designated place within the box. A new rear wheel slot guides the bike exactly into position within the box while Bikeflights’ patented dropout spacer secures the bike’s fork in place. A new protective wheel sleeve holds the front wheel, securing it into place and protecting it from direct contact with the frame. Even small parts, such as bolts, rotors and removed accessories, have their place neatly stashed in an included small parts bag.

At two inches longer, the latest version of the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL), which measures 64 x 14 x 32 inches (163 x 36 x 82 centimeters), now also better fits longer bikes and e-bikes.

The Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) is conspicuously more robust with key areas of the box upgraded to a cardboard with 35% greater board strength. Improved handhold design makes handholds less likely to tear, and new recessed, push-and-twist lid fasteners not only give greater positive feedback during installation and use, but also eliminate the need for tape to seal the box closed.

Bikeflights has made the latest version of the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) more recyclable by eliminating 100% of foam from the packing materials that came with the previous version of the box.

New box art clearly instructs riders about basic packing tips and indicates where to apply shipping labels so they’re more likely to stay in place during transit. It also adds helpful and familiar messaging icons to encourage safer handling of the box.

Just like its predecessor, the latest version of the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) ships directly to customers in a compact form (64 x 14 x 7 inches or 163 x 36 X 18 centimeters) and assembles in five minutes.

The latest version of the Bikeflights Bike Box Large (BBL) will be available for purchase beginning on February 18, 2025 in the Bikeflights online store. The BBL costs $99.95 plus shipping to the customer, which is calculated at checkout.
