Why a top tube pack – and why this one
Snacks, a phone or a battery pack are the items you want within reach without stopping. The Expedition Top Tube Pack addresses this:
- Frequently used items stay at hand. It is a secure storage space that is ideal for stashing items you use often on the road, as a standalone bag for daily riding or as part of a larger bikepacking setup.
- You can open it on the move. The one-finger zipper puller and one-handed zipper opening give easy access while maintaining waterproofing.
- It stays dry. The bag is waterproof with welded seams and a pioneering waterproof zipper.
- It fits different frames. It fastens securely to the top tube, and adjustable attachment points make it versatile enough for a range of frames.
- Your knees keep their space. The pack is designed to maximise storage space without getting in the way.
- Devices can charge while you ride. A cable port enables charging on the go.
Who is it for?
- Daily riders who want a standalone bag for essentials.
- Bikepackers building a larger setup who want a place for bars and snacks (0.5 L) or also a smartphone and battery pack (1 L).
- All-weather riders who want a waterproof zipper and welded seams.
Which size? The smaller 0.5 L bag is suited for storing bars and snacks, while the larger 1 L version can also accommodate smartphones and battery packs. Check the dimension drawings below for detailed measurements.
