Great deal! I bought my Raptor 14 before one of my adventure races in 2022 for $120 and didn't regret it for that price. It has held up over dozens of races and MTB rides. It feels so comfortable while riding that I use it almost exclusively since my phone is safer there than most anywhere else.
One piece of advice for any biking bag is to wash it regularly if you sweat. My bag is in my dryer as I type this. Be sure to put it in a mesh bag if you're washing it in a washing machine with an agitator.
How are these for mountain biking? The wrap around strap/pouches look like they'd be annoying and rub my sides.
a lot of premium backpacks have some very comfortable padded waist straps
i had a larger bag and was gonna try to get this in Orange but they only have Black or Green
i saw some reviews says the magnet on the hydration bladder, the mouthpiece sometimes comes undone from the magnet on the chest strap
these have a mesh pouch that rolls up and can put bike tools
i didn't post the smaller size, but they also have 10Liter
i'll add that to the post
and that there's some more items on sale

They are actually pretty good for mtb'ing and Osprey has one of the best warranties on the planet. They will repair or replace any pack if it gets damaged no matter when you bought it. The wrap around pouch is better than just a narrow strap which can be uncomfortable & dig into your sides. The pouch actually distributes the pressure more evenly.
There are also tons of sale items on other packs. Their waist packs are super cheap right now. I use one of those in the summer when it's too hot to wear a full pack.

This is my favorite hiking / biking bag.
Only downside is that it's a little compact so it can hold a lot but you really gotta stuff it in There. It's also so comfortable you forget you are wearing it.

Any recommendation on a carryon for international travel? Enough to carry a change of clothes, toiletries, 15" laptop, a few camera accessories, etc. I have a dedicated camera. My hope is that I can eliminate the carryon suitcase. Then, it'll just be the backpack and the camera bag.

I've used this pack 100's of times for MTBing. It's my daily MTB pack and I love it. I generally wear it without connecting any straps. The hip belt straps fall behind and to the side and I never notice them. The right chest strap does occasionally bounce around and I tuck it under my shoulder strap mid-ride and don't think about it again.

EDIT: I called Osprey and they adjusted the pricing from what I paid. They can do that within 14 days of original purchase, just FYI.
