Apidura Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack – 1L
The Apidura Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack (1 L) is a durable, waterproof, seam-welded top tube bag with easy-access storage for bikes with top tube bolts. It weighs 104 g, fastens to the top tube mounting points with two tool-free bolts, has a fully waterproof zipper for one-handed access and an integrated cable port for charging devices.
Why a bolt-on top tube pack – and why this one
A top tube bag keeps snacks, a phone or small essentials within reach while riding. But strapped bags can move, and a poorly shaped bag rubs against your knees. The Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack addresses these problems:
- Secure, tool-free attachment. Two tool-free bolts attach to the top tube bosses and one soft-touch Velcro strap attaches to the steerer, for quick attachment and removal.
- It fits different bikes. Multiple options for bolt placement accommodate different bikes and frame sizes.
- Your knees keep their space. Subtle tapering is designed to maximise clearance and reduce body contact.
- Access on the move. The fully waterproof zipper allows one-handed access on the bike.
- Snacks and electronics are looked after. The wipe-clean interior suits snacks, the removable padded base protects your frame and electronics, and the protected cable port allows charging on the go.
Who is it for?
- Riders whose bikes have top tube bolts (bosses) who want a clean, strap-free setup – for bikes without top tube bolts, Apidura offers the Expedition Top Tube Pack.
- Daily riders and bikepackers who want easy-access storage for rides and longer trips.
- Riders who charge devices on the go through the integrated cable port.

Frequently asked questions
Will this top tube pack fit my bike?
In most cases, yes: Apidura top tube packs are designed to fit the vast majority of bikes with standard, oval or oversized top tubes. If you ride a smaller frame, check the length of the pack to make sure you have enough clearance. This pack attaches directly to top tube bolts, so check the dimensions in the specifications and the drawing above.
How do I mount a top tube pack to my bike?
Apidura top tube packs attach in one of two ways. Strapped models use adjustable straps around the top tube plus a stability strap around the steerer tube. Bolt-on models such as this one attach directly to the built-in top tube eyelets found on many modern gravel and adventure bikes for a clean, strap-free setup.
Can I fit a phone in a top tube pack?
Most Apidura top tube packs comfortably fit standard-sized phones, while smaller, lower-profile models may not fit larger devices. Compare the dimensions of this pack with your phone's measurements.
