Buxumbox Bike Boxes Omdömen 44

I’ve had my Buxumbox now for a few years and still going strong. Always impressed every time I use it, thanks guys great job!

I am happy with my bike box. It is bulky and not cheap, but definitely protects the bike as the surface battle marks suggest.

Great support and quality box that protects your bike.

I shipped my bike cross country for a ride and back. The case protects the bike and is very well made. The case did get some scratches and small dings but it is very well made and it rolls so well it was easy to roll thru an airport.

Great boxes, great service, a little gem of a company with a wonderful product. Simple concept, wonderful design and much better than anything else out there. Pricey, but quality shows.

I've wanted a Buxumbox for years, to protect my expensive road bikes when I travel back and forth to France. I finally purchased one this summer, to replace an older plastic box from PBK (I've had many of them). I was impressed by Buxumbox' friendly communication, and blown away by the quality of the Tourmalet box itself. It's without a doubt the best bike box on the market - packs up quickly, looks nice, and most importantly, it protects my precious Canyon race bike on trains and airplanes. Highly recommend!

Buxumboxs are just fantastic. A great piece of engineering and a great team. My Tourmalet case has been put through the test of airline baggage handlers and continues to come through like a champ. Despite all the impacts and transport my tri bike always arrives undamaged. I have tried many cases and Buxumbox is by far my favorite.

Easy to contact and replied quickly with answers and very helpful and the box is top quality and extras are very well made

The box is exactly as advertised it will protect my bike whilst travelling with it. It is robust and well manufactured easy to use and a great investment you can spend less as I have done in the past only for aircraft handlers destroying the last one I had (although the bike survived). There is no way this will suffer the same fate.

Nice and good

Delivery could have been quicker; I had to chase-up a couple of times. But, the products I purchased were worth waiting for. Buxumbox deserve five stars for quality and ease of use.

Their bike box makes travelling much less stressful. They’re well designed, protect your bicycle, packing/unpacking is very easy, it’s robust and built to last. Future proof, it was easy to convert from QR to through axle and my raw finish box looks better after every trip.

The box exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is excellent. The shipping and delivery time was faster than I expected.

Fast and hassle free

super high quality. i hope that the box will survive many journeys.

Super responsive and was able to deliver my new BuxomBox to me in time for an upcoming trip.

Bike (and box) has been through multiple connections and inter country transits without a scratch.

High quality and protects a bike like none other.

Should be the industry standard for bike travel.

Great, very well designed and built product plus very helpful and timely service. 100% recommended.

The Rolls Royce of bike boxes, guaranteed to generate bike box envy amongst plastic and soft bag users. Compared to previous Bike Box Alan, offers better protection and minimal bike disassembly (eg seat post & pedals off; handlebars stay on frame, brake discs & cassettes stay on wheels). I've bought adapters so can handle Thru Axels and QRs. I have the larger Ventoux (134x87x36) which is well within BA's max (190x95x65), though one short flight on an Italian plane did cause consternation until they decided it would fit in their hold. So no issues, just one to watch. 1 year into ownership, multiple flights later and no regrets, just a few dents and scratches which make it look more authentic!

Great customer service and fantastic product.

I bought the Ventoux Box and can't be happier! It takes 5 minutes to pack and the box is supper solid! I had a cheaper box before and it was super annoying to remove handlebar, etc. With the Ventoux I basically just remove the wheels, lower the seat and I'm good to go. Bonus points because the box looks sick! best box in the market.

Incredible box and service from the team at Buxumbox. We cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone travelling with bikes.

It amazes me that no one has mentioned the obvious flaws with these boxes in all the reviews I’ve read. So I’ve decided to review it myself. I’ll start off by saying that if I had the time before my trip to return this box and buy something else I would have.

The first most glaringly obvious flaw is the hundreds of razor sharp rivets on the inside of the box just waiting to either scratch your beloved bike, or your hands while packing your beloved bike! While placing your bike in the box, the razor sharp rivets turn this seemingly simple task into a game of operation (like the children’s game). Only instead of hearing a loud buzz when you touch the sides, the penalty here is a scratched derailleur, frame, fork, or brake calliper. These rivets should be smoothed off, or coated with some kind of rubber compound (just like they do in the real world). I’ve actually coated these myself with a soft rubber compound to stop the box from attacking my bike while packing. I shouldn’t have to do this when paying such a large amount of money!!!! I’m amazed no one else has noticed this.

Secondly the wheels bags create a significant problem. They have a hole in for the box’s spreader/support bar to fit through. The bar fits through the bags, through your wheels, through your frame, and locates into the inner sides of the box. This gives the box strength, and stops it from being crushed. All well and good. Only problem is a customs official has no idea that the spreader bar is there as the bags obscure it (they’re not see through) and they’re not bike experts. So when they yank the wheels/bags out of the box to have a look around they can cause all kinds of damage to your spokes and or frame. Customs officials do look inside bike boxes. This is common when going to the USA. Luckily I spotted this flaw and decided not to use the wheel bags. My bike box was searched both times I went to the USA when I wasn’t there to observe. I know this as they left me a note. If you decide to use the wheel bags, the only thing stopping your wheels rattling around inside the box is the spreader bar hitting your spokes! I certainly don’t fancy that. Also I’m not convinced that the bags wouldn't scuff your frame (like bike bags) do with any sort of movement. I can’t confirm this as I’ve never used them for the above reasons.

Thirdly, despite phoning Buxom box and telling them exactly what bike I had and the dimensions of it, the box is too small!!! After hours of trying to pack my bike in such a way that no part of it wasn’t rubbing on the inside of the box and failing, I phoned Buxom box to see where I was going wrong. It was then that they informed me I need to go and buy some pipe lagging to wrap that around the brake/gear levers as they do rub on the inside of the box!!!!!! If they're aware of this why not make the box bigger, or included some sort of protection???? So after spending £1000 on a box to protect my bike during travel, I had to then go out and buy protection to protect my bike from the thing that I bought to protect it! That’s on top of all the razor sharp rivets I had to make safe! Crazy!

After another phone call they decided to tell me about the chain tensioning device that didn’t come with the box, and wasn’t mentioned on their website at the time if purchase either. With no tension on the chain/derailleur due to the rear wheel being removed, the rear derailleur was touching one end of the box. Not good for obvious reasons. I thought I was going to have to remove it, so I phoned them (again) to make sure I wasn’t missing something. It turns out I was missing something, the chain tension device that they were keeping secret. Hopefully they now include this with every purchase.

Having said all of that this box could be excellent if they ironed out these flaws (I’ve owned this box for a while now so maybe they have). However, these flaws should already be ironed out when you’re paying such a large amount of money. I’m amazed that in all the bike media reviews I’ve seen on these boxes none of the above is mentioned. Especially the razor sharp rivets, it’s blindingly obvious. In this day and age of health and safety I can’t believe it’s gone un noticed.

So to sum up in my opinion this bike box is not worth the money until they sort out all of the above.
