The Bikepacking Journal 13

We’re putting the finishing touches on another exciting issue of The Bikepacking Journal, which will be printed and shipped to Sustainer- and Builder-level Bikepacking Collective members around the world around the end of the year. Spanning 160 vibrant pages, the upcoming issue features an incredible group of contributors as they ride through Kazakhstan, climb the dramatic Huascarán in Peru, weave around Death Valley, pedal across Cuba, and navigate rugged trails in Europe—along with much more.

As always, we’ve curated a thoughtful mix of engaging essays and immersive narratives that you won’t want to miss. The complete collection of stories is available exclusively in print, and after tomorrow’s deadline, it won’t be possible to get a copy of our 13th issue, as we print only one per member. We take great pride in this approach, and the Journal is produced at a world-class printer in Germany using premium papers and inks. It’s designed to be something you’ll want to display proudly on your coffee table or bookshelf for years to come.

One randomly selected Bikepacking Collective member will receive a brand new Tumbleweed Sunliner decked out with some of our favorite components: a cockpit with parts from PAUL Components, Tumbleweed Persuader 20 Bars, a Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, WTB CZR i30 carbon wheels and Macro tires, a Resolve dropper post, headset, and seat clamp from Wolf Tooth, and a beautiful custom frame bag from Rockgeist. The dream build is worth over $6,000, and we can’t wait to see where our winner pedals it.

In addition to the Sunliner Dream Build, our latest round of Collective Reward giveaways features more than $6,000 worth of prizes that we’ll distribute to Bikepacking Collective members around the world. This haul includes several grab bags packed with goodies, dynamo wheels from Hunt, a SlingFin Portal 1 tent, a new Bar Bag System from Tailfin, pedals from Wolf Tooth Components, a whole bunch of bike bags, handlebars from Sklar, and much more.
