When it comes to toting a tent around on a bike tour, the one thing that often ends up interfering with mounting the tent between your handlebars are the tent poles. Numerous brands have developed shorter poles that now fit between the hoods on gravel bikes with the latest being MSR, who just announced the Hubba Hubba 1 or 2-person tent…

The new Hubba Hubba Bikepacking tent series builds on the success of the award-winning Hubba Hubba tent platform, used by backpackers and campers worldwide, and takes it up a notch with cycling-specific touches:

• A handlebar stuff sack
• Handlebar spacers
• Shorter, 12″, segment poles to fit between drops or in small spaces
• Interior and exterior clotheslines to easily dry sweaty or rain-drenched gear
• Oversized storage pockets
• Exceptional livability with generous headroom (38″1-person, 42″, 2-person), oversized vestibules, and a true rectangular floor plan.

The Hubba Hubba comes in a 2 lb, 1 oz, 1-person Hubba Hubba ($500) or 3 lb, 1 oz, 2-person Hubba Hubba size ($580), and is shipping today from MSR.
