This all needs to fit into a large and tough duffel bag which will be loaded onto the support vehicle. Best is a waterproof bag. Additionally, everything inside should be waterproofed with plastic bags/bin liners. Remember, luggage allowance on most airlines into Mongolia is 20 kg, on domestic flights 15 kg, check with your airline/travel agent regarding the rules and limits for bike transport. We recommend to use a rigid box for your bike.
