Top features of the Race 12

EXCELLENT WEIGHT-TO-COMFORT RATIO FOR MORE ENERGY

We’ve taken a well-balanced selection of materials, optimized the tailoring, reduced materials use to a minimum, and pared the features down to the essentials. The result is an especially lightweight yet durable biking backpack that delivers a great weight-to-comfort ratio.

BIKE-SPECIFIC BACK SYSTEM FOR COMFORT AND STABILITY

The breathable Airstripes back system ensures good airflow across the back and a snug fit for technical trails. The sternum strap, which features a new one-hand buckle, and mesh hip fins hold the pack in perfect position – no matter how rough the ride.

RESOURCE-FRIENDLY MANUFACTURING

With bluesign®-certified body fabric made of 100% recycled materials and resource-saving components from 100% environmentally friendly production, the pack meets the highest standards. It’s also climate neutral and PFC-free and is a clear statement of our commitment to sustainability.  

1. 3D AirMesh lined shoulder straps. Anatomically formed, they guarantee comfortable movement range. The chest strap further secures the fit.
2. Breathable Mesh wings on the hip belt stabilize the load.
3. Two contour-shaped layers of knobbly foam with AirMesh lining and minimal back contact provide maximum airflow.
4. Flexible aluminium stays within the foam profile can be bent to fit the back exactly. (Bike I, Superbike and Trans Alpine).

PFAS free

This deuter product is free of intentionally used PFAS (per- & polyfluorinated chemicals). deuter thus reduces the use of substances, that are known to harm the environment and health.

For Outdoor products PFAS are mainly used for water repellant treatments.

Instead, deuter uses since 2019 alternative DWR (Durable Water Repellency) impregnation.

100% recycled PET material

The fabrics used for this model are made of post-consumer PET bottles.

ClimatePartner certified product

By adopting more materials and technologies that have a smaller carbon footprint in our collections we are taking positive steps toward reducing our CO_² emissions. But despite our greatest efforts, it’s impossible to make products climate neutral. And so, we’ve teamed up with Climate Partner to offset any unavoidable CO_² emissions. From now on, the volume of emissions released by the production and transport of any ClimatePartner certified deuter product purchased will be compensated for through voluntary offsetting and targeted investment in select social and climate protection projects.
