Santiago’s Tourmalet box
Santiago is based in New York and travels with a S-Works Tarmac. This is what he had to say about his Tourmalet box:
“It arrived on Friday. Did a test packing, just to see. Wow! Super fast and what a well-designed product. After years with a Scicon Aerotech hard case I know the Tourmalet will be a breeze to travel with, likely fits into cars with more ease!”
Ian in UAE – feedback on his Ventoux Road
The box is just magnificent; a piece of art!!
The design appears to have considered every detail, manufacturing quality is excellent and finish is great.
Those points don’t come through completely on the website as the box is even better in real life.
Definitely worth the wait – now looking forward to get a chance to use it and show it off.
Ben’s Galibier
Ben is an airline pilot who takes his bike on long-haul trips from his Australian base. His beautiful new Caffin S&S bike needed the best protection, hence Ben opted for our Galibier model – the box that’s small enough to qualify as a suitcase and therefore avoid excess baggage fees.
And oh, check out his garage floor – clean enough to eat your dinner off!
Ethan’s Christmas Buxumbox review
Pritpal’s Ventoux MTB in raw aluminium finish for his Santa Cruz 5010
For a mountainbiker living between East Africa and Wales comes with a whole host of challenges.
Just some of the thoughts & in some case solutions I have employed (and often failed) are:
Chris’s Confetti Yeti
Very tempting to make a box with graphics to match Chris’s bike…
This Yeti is sitting in a Ventoux MTB box.
Pritpal’s first reaction…
“This is a think of engineering beauty! I cannot thank you enough.”
On receipt of his stealth Ventoux for travels to Africa.
Dave’s his and hers Tourmalets
UK customer Dave designed his own decals for a pair of Tourmalets to great effect. He says “Very pleased with the service and quality, massive step up from our last boxes much easier to pack. Thanks Buxumbox“
Jamie’s Tourmalet
Jamie from Trinity Sports Management needed a box for his trip to Tour Down Under – here it is (in RAL1015 powder-coat finish).
As he said, the box was “Turning heads all over Aus.”

SpyVelo box
Thanks to James from SpyVelo for sending an image of their box – we supplied in matt black – they applied decals.
Ventoux MTB review by off.road.cc October 2018
As the only aluminium bike box on the market, the Buxumbox Ventoux MTB’s unique design means it affords great protection for ultimate peace of mind.
It’s quick and easy to pack and extraordinarily easy to wheel around. Yes, it’s a lot of money but it’s a high-quality piece of kit and should last a very long time
Road.cc July 2018 Tourmalet review
The Buxumbox Tourmalet is a strong aluminium bike case for carrying your bike safely when you fly, and it’s very easy to pack too. The price and possibly the weight are hurdles.
- Pros: Strong, durable, easy to pack
- Cons: A little heavier and pricier than most rivals
Several changes have been made since we first reviewed the Buxumbox Tourmalet three years ago, the most significant being that you can now get it with fixing points for bikes with thru-axles as well as open-ended dropouts and that assembly has now been moved to the UK – Okehampton in Devon, to be more precise. I’ll tell you about other changes later on.
