Yes, its easier to fly, bus, throw in the back of an adventure van, on top of a packraft, etc. than any other bikepacking rig available. It's also a fully capable dirt road rambler, ready for an unpaved expedition to the farthest corners of the world.  No, this isn't the bike for shredding the most technical trails - instead we designed the All-Packa for the joys of riding our local logging roads and flowy singletrack. The All-Packa is a custom bike that will fit you perfectly as we handbuild it to your size in Eugene, Oregon USA. We have used our 30 years experience of building customized travel bikes that fold and optimized this frame for the key needs of dirt and gravel bikepacking. #### All-Packa Features: - Fits most bikepacking bags on the market with three-packs (3 bottle braze-ons) on seat mast, fork legs, down tube, and four-pack on top tube - Geometry optimized for off-road gear hauling with a longer front-center and lower center-of-gravity than other Bike Fridays - The All-Packa is custom fit for riders from 4 ft 6 in to 6 ft 4 in, with better gear hauling options that any other bikepacking bike on the market. Lower step-over! Seatpack will never rub the rear tire! - The frame folds in 30 seconds (32x24x12") to fit into a bus, car trunk, packraft etc... - Packs into an airline check-able suitcase – The only bikepacking bike that also flies! - Rider weight up to 220lbs with no gear weight limits - E-assist compatible and upgradable ##### All-Packa Improvements include: - Frame Redesign for tire clearance up to 2.8" Fork gets wider and axle to crown increases - Rear end moves to "S-Bend" stays from current wishbone seatstays - Provides fender and mud clearance for all 2.4" tires - BF Boost - offsetting rear hub from the centerline for greater tire clearance while using standard components Still uses standard 135 QR rear hubs - 7mm offset for "Super Boost" 56mm chainline, allowing 2.8" tire clearance - Creates a tighter fold, allowing easier packing in suitcases - Raising BB 6mm to allow clearance for long cranks and low tire pressures - Lighter, shorter folding mast with 27.2mm ID to allow easy packing - External dropper post routing - Downtube braze-ons simplified to series of triple zip-tie braze-ons - Improved component spec with 12 spd APEX AXS XPLR and 1x11 SRAM build options - Packalope bars: refined shape with increased grip/clamp length, increased backsweep and upsweep. ##### The All-Packa differs from the Diamond Llama in several key ways: - Wider tire clearance (2.8 in versus 2.2 in) - Braze-ons: 3-packs on seatmast, top tube and both fork legs plus 4-pack on top tube.Cable guides take zipties to make them compatible with some Hydraulic brake brands (not all), customer must install on frame kit, Bike Friday does not offer Hydraulic brakes on full bikes. - Top tube is oval instead of round, maintaining stiffness, decreasing weight, and increasing space for frame bags - Ride-quality optimized tubing spec for people 220lbs or less; Diamond Llama frame can take up to 330lb rider **See our quick [comparison guide](https://bikefriday.com/all-packa-vs-diamond-llama-choose-your-adventure/) between the All-Packa and Diamond Llama on our blog** #### Upgrades & Accessories ###### The Packalope Handlebars come standard on an All-Packa ***Drop Bars are available on component option with Thru Axle 1x12 SRAM Apex AXS XPLR eTap with White Industries components, Or with a frame kit.* ** ![](https://bikefriday.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PackalopeWhite-BG.jpeg) **Packalope Bars (come as standard)** These are the default handlebars for the All-Packa, being specifically designed for this very bike. They come apart for easy packing. They're great for handling a load on rough roads, but still split for easy packing, as only Bike Friday handlebars can!

Bikepacking is the synthesis of all-terrain cycling and self-supported backpacking. It evokes the freedom of multi-day backcountry hiking and travel off the beaten path, but with the range and thrill of riding a nimble bicycle. It’s about venturing further into places less traveled, both near and far, via singletrack trails, gravel, and forgotten dirt roads, carrying the essential gear, and not much more. “Bikepacking is what bicycles originally were… There were no cars. There was no asphalt. Bikepacking is as bicycling was intended to be.” -Joe Cruz (prominent bikepacker and Bike Friday owner) --- ##### ##### How to order your bike on this page: - Follow all the steps in the drop-down menus above then "Add to cart" and follow steps in your cart to purchase. - A Bike Friday Expert will follow up with you to determine your sizing, pick-up /ship date (production takes 5-7 weeks on average) and confirm any other needed details about your order. - **Then you get your bike!** --- ##### ##### Additional Ways to Order with More Options: We offer many more options than we can post here without overwhelming people.

I want bicycles that go beyond the functions at which they excel and so are also supremely versatile. I like bicycles built with attention to detail and compelling aesthetics. And I go for bicycles that support the many kinds of adventures I do while also inspiring me to imagine new ones. The All-Packa is all these things and more." **Joe Cruz (Bike Friday owner and Bikepacking.com contributor)** ![](https://bikefriday.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/photo-by-ally-mabry.jpg)  "I could not stop yelling **"THIS THING RIPS"** as I was swooping back and forth on one of Missoula's newest ridgeline trails."**Ally Mabry (Art Director of Adventure Cyclist)**  ![Bike Friday All-Packa on top of a mountain](https://bikefriday.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/158A72EE-62E1-BC68-6482B4A104169524_custom1200xauto.jpg) "As I prepped the All-Packa with my latest bikepacking setup, I began to feel increasingly at ease with it. **The bike felt rock-solid in every way, and packing it up for a trip was actually enjoyable.** I love bikepacking, but I have to admit that I usually find getting my bike setup a bit of a chore. However, with the All-Packa, I was able to rethink my entire setup thanks to the numerous mounts and exposed areas on the frame. **There seemed to be mounts on every available spot, including triple mounts on the seat tube, a quadruple mount (!!!!)** on the top tube, triple mounts on the down tube, and on each fork blade." **Barry Lachapelle (Founder of Bike Gear Database)** "This is a bike for going far and doing something ambitious and unusual. Or it’s for everyday dirt road meandering. Or it’s for virtually anything in between. **If I had to create a short list of game-changing bikes in the last decades of bikepacking**—a list that would include, say, the Surly Pugsley, the Salsa Fargo and Cutthroat, and the Cannondale Slate—**I’d put the All-Packa on it.** I’m not even remotely kidding."**Joe Cruz (bikepacking.com contributor and bikepacking guru)** [Questions? please email us: info@bikefriday.com](mailto:info@bikefriday.com)  Bike Friday 10 Year Warranty We have a strong warranty on our frames against defects in material and/or workmanship for 10 years.
