Bikepacking is difficult to define as it means different things to different riders. To some, it's an escape from everyday life, a chance to turn off and explore your local area, whereas others see it as a component of endurance racing that stretches across continents. Bikepacking doesn't determine the type of bike or terrain either; some riders are looking to bikepacking as a faster form of touring, while other riders are packing up to traverse the back and beyond. One thing that cannot be denied, bikepacking has exploded in popularity with more and more riders looking to create their own two-wheeled adventure.
