Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Bikepack
builds on Big Agnes' most popular tent range, but is adapted for bikepacking with a range of smart solutions. The main difference is the compressed pack format, where the ShortStik poles allow the tent to be packed down to a significantly shorter length - perfect for mounting on a handlebar, frame or rack.
More about the Copper Spur UL3 Bikepack
The fully self-contained design provides a stable structure with steep walls and generous headroom. This makes the tent feel unusually spacious, even for three people, or extremely comfortable for two with lots of gear. The tent has two entrances and two vestibules, allowing easy entry and exit and plenty of space for equipment. The vestibules can also be erected in awning mode, providing better ventilation and protection when cooking or resting in bad weather.
In terms of materials, Big Agnes uses its proprietary HyperBead™ technology, which provides a combination of low weight, high durability and reliable weather protection. Together with taped seams and thoughtful ventilation, you get a tent that can handle demanding conditions despite its low weight. For bikepacking, the details are crucial - and here the tent delivers in full. It comes with a sturdy drybag with compression straps and attachment points, allowing you to easily mount it directly to your bike. Extra features like a helmet pocket, daisy chain attachments and smart storage make this one of the most complete tents in its class.
