There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After the trip, the case shows no signs of wear. There are no scratches on it and it seems just as sturdy. The only issue I had is that TSA (since they only hire the best of the best) were unable to figure out how to put the box back together after they inspected it. While the over/under lapping style of the case makes it very sturdy, it can be hard to get together just right. Additionally, the large luggage strap is VERY sturdy, but the mechanism takes more than a second to figure out. Needless to say, the slightly complicated mechanism was a little too much for TSA, and when I got my box back, it was sadly held together with duct tape :(. Still, that was not a problem of B&W's bike box, but rather TSA. Even with the duct tape holding it together, my bike arrived safe and sound at its destination and TSA did no permanent damage to the box.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and I look forward to taking my bike on more trips in the future.

Thank you very much
If I have any critiques, it would be the lack of a second handle on the back of the case, and the overall weight.
There is a front handle for pulling, and one on the side right next to the front (which doesn't seem necessary). It's difficult to pick the case up without a second handle on the back side.
There's really no way to make the case lighter, so you can't put much more than the bike in without going over 50 pounds. We have carbon fiber bikes, and even then we couldn't put anything other than our helmets and some minor lightweight items in with the bike. Lesson learned as we had to open them in the airport and remove shoes and clothing to make the weight. Overall, very happy with the case and looking forward to our next trip.

These are light, so no worries at the airport scale.
We were travelling with a large group of cyclists and our boxes were the easiest to move around. The wheels are strong and the front wheels turn easily.
Once the 2 panels are put together using the 4 corner straps and the long circumference strap, there is no way the box can open during transit since there is no expose locking system that can get damage.
I have a 59.5cm bike frame and it fit well inside the box. However I did remove my rear derailleur for extra protection.
For my wife 54cm frame, we only had to lowered the seat. Handlebar do need to be remove in all case.
B&W has improve this bike box II from an already good product, and that at a very attractive price.
I recommend these boxes if you are planning to travel extensively with your bike, and you can count of B&W after sale customer service.

The printed instructions were not very straightforward, so I looked up more detailed instructions online. They recommended removing the rear derailleur. That might have been necessary for the older style box, but this one has a newer fabric and velcro strap which wraps the mech to the frame so removal wasn't necessary. Equally most instructions recommend removing the saddle and seatpost, but this isn't necessary if you slacken it and drop it down.
Dismantling the bike took sometime the first time, but was much easier for the return trip because I knew what I was doing. The interlocking system to fasten the two shells together also took a bit of working out, and I needed a helper the first time, but having done it once I can easily manage it myself now. The case is very easy to pull, with smooth running wheels making it easier to manage than my suitcase. Beware the size though. We struggled to get it on a train and a taxi at Glasgow Airport refused to take us because of the size. Two different people asked me if it was a piano!
So all-in-all a very useful product. Cheaper than some of the more sculpted ones, easy to manoeuvre, and most importantly it got my favourite bike abroad and back without any damage. Allow some time to pack it initially, be aware of the space requirements and make sure you know where the airline collects and drops off oversize luggage.
