BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

3 reasons not to buy

The straps are attached to the rear panel of the bag that houses the hydration pack. This panel connects to the rest of the bag with a zipper. If this zipper fails, the bag will be useless.
The Hauser is expensive compared to hydration packs with similar storage capacity, and a water reservoir must be purchased separately.
This bag doesn't have pockets on the shoulder and hip straps.

Bottom line

Mission Workshop's Hauser hydration pack is available in two sizes: 10L and 14L, with a choice of three waterproof fabrics. A reservoir isn't included. Experts deem the Hauser robust, comfortable, and easy to organize. It lacks pockets on the hip and shoulder straps, but a tool roll is included. Most find ventilation adequate. All three fabrics are effective at preventing water ingress. A zipper makes reservoir access easy, but it bears most of the bag's weight, and there are no backup straps. Overall, experts like the Mission Workshop Hauser, but the zipper design flaw is disappointing given the high price.

Level 1 expert
