Purple Reign is for everyone who does not want to disappear in the crowd of black bags in the paddock. On this Econohaul, Albek combines a dark blue with purple and yellow accents, and packs underneath a wheeled travel bag with 115 litres for moto and bike.

It is meant for your weekend at the track or in the bike park: boots, helmet, goggles and clothes for two days travel separately from one another and come out again in the same order.

Why the Econohaul in Purple Reign convinces

The model was the Econoline van, a workhorse with a clear layout. Inside the Purple Reign bag, Albek therefore stacks levels on top of each other instead of throwing everything into one sack. That way you do not have to fish the wet boot out of the clean hoodie on Sunday evening.

What the Econohaul gives you

• Split-Level construction with 115 L volume
• Lower compartment for boots and knee guards, waterproof
• Padded space for your helmet
• Compartment for goggles and a separate lens compartment
• Main compartment for several kits
• Elastic pockets for several pairs of gloves
• Wheels, telescopic handle and padded Cush handle

Layout of the Purple Reign bag

At the bottom is the area for everything that drips after a mud race: boots, knee braces, protectors. It is waterproof and keeps the dirt to itself. One level up, your helmet sits padded, the goggles wait in their integrated compartment, and spare lenses in a compartment of their own next to it. Chest protector and technical underwear have a section of their own, and the large main compartment swallows pants and jerseys for several motos.

Roll instead of drag

With the telescopic handle and the tough wheels you pull the bag from the car park right to your pit. The moulded base is kept light, and overall the Econohaul comes in at 4.5 kg empty. For the last few centimetres onto the loading area there is the padded Albek Cush carry handle.

Air for sweaty kit

The outer shell is made of matt 600D polyester. Ventilated compartments, which Albek calls Anti Bag-Tang, let damp kit breathe so that the drive home does not turn into a smell test. An embroidery zone for name or logo is also included.

Purple Reign in practice

The dark blue base tone covers everyday dirt well, while purple and yellow make the bag instantly recognisable on the baggage belt and between the pop-up tents. On the light accents, though, you see dust sooner than on pure black, so a damp cloth after the race does no harm.

Who Purple Reign is made for

• Riders who want to find their bag at first glance
• Motocross, enduro and downhill with full protective gear
• Teams that tell bags apart by colour
• Anyone who gets by well with 115 L

Good to know

Only the boot compartment is described as waterproof, not the rest of the bag. A changing mat and a tool compartment are offered only by the larger Meridian. If you fly with the Econohaul, your airline’s baggage rules for size and weight apply. Albek grants a Limited Lifetime Warranty to original buyers with proof of purchase.

Verdict

The Albek Econohaul in Purple Reign combines clear levels for boots, helmet and clothing with a colour you will spot in any paddock straight away.
