Our Story
Born from Frustration. Built for Peace of Mind.
Vault Sports Box was created out of necessity—by athletes, for athletes.
It all started after competing at the 2023 Triathlon World Championships in Pontevedra, Spain. Training partners, Jeremy Oury and Arthur Mayo (founder), returned home to hear horror stories: fellow Team USA athletes were being charged outrageous fees and had their bikes held hostage due to shipping company mishaps. I asked myself, "Why do so many athletes use this shipping service?" I personally had always packed and traveled with my bike myself.
The root cause? Most athletes weren’t comfortable disassembling and rebuilding their bikes. And existing travel solutions weren’t helping—they were clunky, unreliable, and stressful.
We knew there had to be a better way.
The Spark
When we asked athletes what they were comfortable removing from their bikes, the answer was simple:
-
Wheels
-
Pedals
-
Saddle and seat post
Everything else had to stay intact—especially with today’s advanced electronic shifting systems, delicate derailleur hangers, and exact cockpit setups. This became the foundation of the Vault Sports Box.
But we didn’t stop there.
The Challenge
We set out to solve every pain point we’d experienced firsthand:
-
Under 30 lbs when empty
-
Space for up to 3 wheels
-
Airline-friendly sizing
-
Shippable via FedEx, UPS, or DHL
-
Built from unbreakable materials
From the first sketches on a napkin at the Tap House in Whitefish, Montana, to months of 3D scanning frames and collaborating with elite athletes and mechanics—Vault Sports Box was engineered to eliminate travel-day stress and protect your most important gear.
Built Smarter. Backed by Experts.
We prototyped obsessively! We scanned bikes of every discipline—triathlon, gravel, road, mountain, and cyclocross. We listened to pro triathletes, retired Tour de France riders, Team USA age-groupers, and elite mechanics.
We even went straight to the source—airlines, TSA agents, and freight companies—to ensure Vault fits how they handle gear every day.
Why Vault?
Because we believe your bike should arrive race-ready.
No more bubble wrap. No more rebuilding stress. No more wondering if your derailleur survived the flight.
Vault Sports Box is your trusted travel partner—engineered for security, speed, and simplicity. So you can focus on what matters: your performance.
