Bikepacking Bikes
The numbers that actually decide what you can carry — frame triangle size for bags, tyre clearance for a loaded seat pack, and where the cargo bosses are. Every figure comes from the manufacturer's own chart, with the source on each page.

Where these numbers come from
Every geometry table here is transcribed from the manufacturer's published chart, and each bike page links to the exact source and the date we last checked it. Where a manufacturer doesn't publish a figure we leave it blank rather than estimate — a wrong number in a fit calculation is worse than a missing one.
