Which one should you buy?

The right cover comes down to the shape of your bike rather than the badge on it. Standard bikes with handlebars up to 63cm take the STASH or URBAN; mountain bikes, wide bars and most larger e-bikes take the XL / MTB; longtails take the Longtail, or the Longtail WS with child seats fitted; front-loader cargo bikes take the Cargo.
