The wheels limit you to 130kg maximum system weight. According to the website, if you have a 120kg and above System weight, the wheels should be checked regularly.
If it fits on the bike and you're willing to drag it up the hill, you're fine.
Like, do you seriously think you're going to want to put more than like 30kg of stuff on your bike and then go riding off-road?
Just be thoughtful about where you distribute the weight. Like, don't dangle 20kg of stuff in some stupid seatpack off the back of your seatpost. Don't put 20kg of stuff in bags attached to each side of your front fork. Etc. Distribute your weight thoughtfully.
Personally, I'd highly recommend just getting a rear rack. That way you have flexibility to choose paniers or whatever and the weight you carry back there is being distributed through intended mount-points at the spots where the designers chose to put your threaded inserts. That + a frame bag + a little handlebar bag and you can easily distribute the weight sensibly and conveniently for your usage.
To stay under the limited system weight, it would be more like 20kg, but I get your point, and thanks, kind of what I wanted to hear😅 I tend to worry a bit, and this is the kind of response that kind of helps😅 I have considered a rack, but have a large seatpack already, going to test that first, this is also my commuter, gravel and all other uses bike, other than my dedicated roadbike, so would be nice not having to mount a rack every time I want to go bikepacking, but solid advice anyway, thanks again🙂
Right on. And, like, that "system limit" is a guideline that assumes relatively rough riding. When you're loaded down with your camping gear you're not going to be full-sending things.
Have fun out there!
One of my favorite bikepacking answers I heard at a campsite as an answer to “how much can my bike hold?” was “however much you can put on it!” Which is true to an extent.
It’s more often than not NOT about how much but also how it goes on your bike. Weight distribution can make a ton of weight a lot easier than less load in a horrible spot. Just start trying things out and ride around town to see how it feels :)
I don't see any front bosses and the ones at the back are for fenders. So you're limited to seatpost bag and handlebar. There are devices to strap to front forks to allow adding extra water bottles there or even a couple of drybags but keep it under 5kgs.
You could add a rack front and back. Old man mountain make axle mounted racks and that increases your options. Divide on the rear. Elkhorn up front.
It's probably best to just get another bike fit for the purpose :)
That's a really nice colour, by the way.
Thanks!

Check your specs that come with the bike :D. Mine is limited to 127kg (carbon bike)
No one reads the manual here....

trailers are best avoided unless really needed. more to go wrong, more unladen weight more to deal with portaging etc

20kg is a ton of stuff, often my bike loaded is 20ish KG Take less and make everything count, then the riding is much more enjoyable
