【Touring Camp Specialized】Can be loaded on a motorcycle! A sleeping cot that fits in “43 cm”

When it comes to camping touring, it's usually about having a good night’s sleep in a sleeping bag…… but perhaps due to age, it’s becoming more difficult. While I want to keep my luggage light, I also want to be particular about my sleeping time. What fulfills such desires is the "43/RIDE Cot" which is only 43 cm when stored. It seems like it will be a reliable companion that makes loading onto a motorcycle easy and sets everything up from setup to the next morning.

A new idea for bringing a bed into camping touring

DAYTONA's new product "43/RIDE Cot" is a folding cot designed for touring camping where storage space is limited. When unfolded, it becomes a bed measuring 190cm in length and 65cm in width, but when stored, it compresses to approximately 43×16×15cm. By finely dividing the leg frame and side frame, it is kept to a manageable length for fitting into a touring bag or side bag.

Weighing approximately 2.3kg and with a load capacity of 120kg, the appeal lies in being able to carry an environment that allows you to sleep off the ground, taking a step beyond just laying a mat on the ground for camping. If you rest well at your accommodation, you should be able to start the next morning's packing and touring in a brisk manner.

When it comes to loading on a motorcycle, not only the weight but also the length of the luggage matters. If a long pole sticks out of the storage bag, it becomes difficult to decide where to place other camping gear, and it can be dangerous. The 43/RIDE cot is designed with a compact length of 43 cm when stored, making it easy to pack together with a tent, sleeping bag, and change of clothes—a reassuring design.

Rather than relying solely on external mounts to the rear carrier, the possibility of storing it inside the bag expands. Instead of reducing other tools to accommodate the cot, it is great that it becomes easier to secure a sleeping area within the limited space. It seems that we won’t have to give up comfort upon arrival at the campsite during the packing before departure.

Even with a compact cot, if your body sinks too deeply when you sleep, it won't lead to a refreshed feeling in the morning. The 43/RIDE cot has an adjustable surface tension to better support the body. Additionally, a mesh fabric is used inside the frame loops of the sleeping surface. The surface of the side frame has been sandblasted to reduce creaking sounds that can easily occur when turning over in bed.

Camping nights are a special time spent listening to the sounds of the wind and the rustling trees. If you can change your posture without worrying about the sounds of the cot, it becomes easier to rest calmly throughout the night. This can be useful not only for solo camping but also in situations where sounds might disturb someone sleeping in a nearby tent.

Once you arrive at the campsite, you want to set up the tent and bed while it's still bright, so you can enjoy cooking and the scenery for a longer time. The 43/RIDE cot has a guide fabric on the back of the bed surface that makes it easy to pass the frame through. The leg frame employs a lever structure that utilizes the principle of leverage. While it has a structure that strongly pulls the fabric, it can be easily locked by one person, reducing the burden of assembly.

The frame material is A7075 aluminum alloy, which is also used in aircraft and Shinkansen (bullet trains). The seat surface is made of 300D ripstop polyester. By adding optional extension legs, it can also be used as a high cot that effectively reduces cold air or heat from the ground.

The 43/RIDE cot is easy to stack, easy to set up, and provides a calm resting experience. Why not load it into your beloved vehicle to set off briskly the next morning after camping?
