From my research I found, that the tent poles are quite long and therefore a bit harder to pack on a bike.

I use the copper spur 2 person. Can’t specifically talk about the 3 in that sense but the 2 has been great. Enough space for my partner and I, lightweight, fits in my revelate packs, and durable enough for most conditions. 10/10

I have the Copper Spur 2 person bikepacking version and the Copper Spur 1 person (pre-bikepacking). Great tents. Try to find a deal since they are pricey.

I have this one, and while it was mostly a great tent for two people it did not perform well for me in heavy rain after only a month. Don’t cheap out on the ground sheet too it’s well worth it. If you have any specific questions hit me up me and my partner just finished up a pretty big tour using it.

I use a standard Tiger Wall 2. Revelate frame bag has velcro for securing the poles under the top tube. Riding a M frame. Worked for me. The 2 person is a nice size for solo.

I use the hotel blacktail bikepacking 3. It is great! It’s easy to set up and has a large vestibule for storing/ drying gear. Also, it fits on most handlebars (unless you’re riding narrow drop bars). 5/5 would recommend if you’re 6’2″ or shorter.

3 people? Over kill for bike packing and poles will be an issue. Heavy and bulky

The bike packing version has better poles and fits between the bars. Expertvoice had a crazy deal on them the other day when I checked.
I have the 2 person which is a nice size. Also it’s worth getting the footprint.

Another +1 for the Copper Spur Bikepacking version. Make sure you do get the bikepacking version and not the backpacking version. As mentioned, poles are shorter folding than backpacking.
I have the original 2 person version and it’s great for space to sit upright and packs on bars very well. Great options for a quick rain shelter without the fly, just the fly on warm nights or both. Other great features for stashing your helmet, high up storage and drying loops. I’d advise getting the additional groundsheet.
Here’s mine in the wild in Baja. I continue to use it as my regular camping tent. Pops up and pegs out in about 3 mins
I have the 1p Copper Spur, bikepacking edition, and it is fantastic. Really easy to pitch and break down, packs small, is sturdy, well designed and well made. Been using it pretty heavily since 2019 and it’s still going strong with zero problems. I can definitely recommend!

Take a look at the [Durston X-Mid 2](https://durstongear.com/products/x-mid-2-tent-ultralight-backpacking). It’s very lightweight, spacious, the poles break down to 12”, and it’s under $300. They have an even lighter weight option but it’s double the price.
