Product Information
Full details
The EVOC Ride 16L is a high-performance, unisex backpack tailored for mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, organized solution for day-long adventures. Its standout feature is the AIR PAD ventilation system, which ensures comfort during high-exertion rides by promoting airflow across the back. While it offers excellent stability and anatomical support, users should note that the 16L capacity is best suited for day trips rather than multi-day bikepacking excursions requiring bulkier gear.

FAQs
Does the EVOC Ride 16L come with a hydration bladder?
The EVOC Ride 16L is hydration-ready, but the bladder is typically sold separately.
Can I use this backpack for commuting?
Yes, its ergonomic design and organized storage make it a great option for light commuting and city cycling.
Is the material waterproof?
The backpack is made of durable polyester which is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
How do I clean the AIR PAD system?
Gently sponge the padding with mild soapy water and let it air dry completely before storing.
What is the primary difference between the 16L and the 12L versions?
The primary difference is total storage volume; the 16L offers more room for extra layers and gear for longer duration rides.
Does the helmet carrier work with full-face helmets?
The external helmet carrier is designed to accommodate standard cycling helmets; full-face helmets may require different securing methods.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels unstable on technical trails
Ensure the hip fins are tightened securely and the load is balanced correctly inside the pack.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable
Adjust the BRACE LINK positioning to better match your shoulder width and ensure the chest strap is not pulled too tight.
Poor ventilation during hot weather
Check that the AIR PAD channels are not obstructed by the contents of the pack and that the pack is not cinched too tightly against your back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, loosen all straps before putting the pack on. Start by securing the waist strap around your hips, then tighten the shoulder straps to pull the pack close to your back. The BRACE LINK feature should automatically align to your anatomy; if it feels restrictive, adjust the strap positioning until the weight feels distributed evenly. For hydration, ensure the hose is routed through the designated loop on the shoulder strap. To maintain the material, hand-wash the polyester fabric using mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can degrade the internal coatings and the ventilation foam. Always air dry the pack in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
