Ridge tent MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2-person Green/Red/White, 1.4 kg, 127×213 cm sleeping area

The MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack is a compact ridge-style tent designed for cyclists who need a lightweight, highly packable shelter that fits on handlebars or into bikepacking luggage. The tent offers a true rectangular floor with generous headroom, a blend of mesh and solid fabric for ventilation and privacy, and a rainfly with large vestibules. Included is a waterproof handlebar storage bag with removable spacers that helps keep the tent off the bars and allows easy packing in panniers, frame bags or a backpack.

Advantages

The tent combines a roomy interior footprint with a short-pole design that packs down small, making it easy to carry on a bike or stow in limited spaces. Weather protection is provided by a waterproof coating and taped seams, while two StayDry™ vestibule doors with rain gutters and kickstand vents improve usability in wet conditions. Inside, tech-friendly pockets, overhead lofts and clotheslines increase organisation and convenience at camp.

Suitable for

• Bikepackers and bicycle tourers needing a compact, handlebar-mounted tent
• Solo campers who require a lightweight, low-volume shelter
• Kayak campers or users who need shorter pole segments to fit boat storage
• Anyone who wants a tent with good ventilation and dedicated gear storage vestibules

When it may not be suitable

The Hubba Hubba Bikepack is optimized for minimal packed volume and handlebar carry, so users who prioritise maximum interior living space for two occupants or need a heavier-duty expedition tent may find it limiting. Its design focuses on low weight and compactness rather than large-group comfort or long-term basecamp use.

How to use

Assemble the unified hub-and-pole system and spread the tent body on level ground. Erect the tent using the short DAC poles, then attach the rainfly and stake out the corners and vestibules. Use the removable handlebar spacers when mounting the waterproof handlebar bag to keep the bag off the bars, and secure the headtube bungee for stability. Route charging cables through the pocket cable ports as needed and store gear in the large vestibules or interior loft pockets. Leave the fly off to use the top mesh window for stargazing in dry conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended occupancy: designed primarily for one person with comfort capacity listed for two
• Packed dimensions and weight: ensure the 1.4 kg packed tent and its short poles fit your available handlebar or luggage space
• Weather requirements: PU-coated fabrics and taped seams provide waterproofing but consider side-by-side comparison if you need heavier waterproofing or insulation
• Compatibility: the handlebar bag fits flat or drop bars; check fit with any bar-mounted accessories

Usage recommendations

For best results, pack the tent in its waterproof handlebar bag with spacers attached when mounting on handlebars; stake out vestibules for gear storage and use the interior and exterior clotheslines to dry wet clothing overnight. In heavy rain, keep the StayDry™ vestibule doors closed and use the kickstand vents for airflow.
