“You are one ride away from a good mood.” Sarah Bentley
The ultimate biking van is here. Tails was built with avid cyclists in mind whether they’re mobbing down single track deep in the woods of British Columbia, trekking upwards on petrified sand dunes of Moab, embracing joyous torture that is cyclocross, and everything in-between.
Inside and out, Tails is a complete mobile bike mechanic station. A handful of Tails’ many bells and whistles include: a garage gear glider, custom tool rolls, a rear door flip down worktable, Molle Panels, and an ARB air compressor with multiple attachment sites.
We’ve maximized every inch of this 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144. Tails is a full basecamp for overnight adventures. Kitchen features include a deep, rectangular under mount sink with pull down sprayer faucet, overhead cabinetry and microwave, Isotherm 4.6 cu ft stainless steel refrigerator, multiple 110V, USB-C/USB, and 12V outlets, and 20-gallon freshwater tank.
Staying off-grid for extended adventures, Tails is loaded with a robust Lithionics power system, boasting 945Ah of power alongside a 2000W magnum inverter. For sunny days, the rooftop houses a 140W Zamp solar panel. All this power is more than enough to power and charge your highest output components.
