Bike bags
Choosing a bag depends on where it sits on the bike and how you ride. For bikepacking, you often combine several bags. For commuting, one is enough.
Which bag for which spot?
- Frame bag: centres the weight, ideal for heavier items.
- Saddle bag: large volume, perfect for long rides.
- Handlebar bag: quick access, for sleeping kit or clothing.
- Stem bag: snacks within reach.
Which volume for which use?
Daily commute: small volume. Day ride: medium volume, spread out. Multi-day bikepacking: several bags combined.
Frequently asked questions
Which volume should I choose?
Estimate the kit you'll carry, then spread it across frame, saddle and handlebar.
Are the bags waterproof?
Bikepacking ranges like Apidura prioritise waterproofing and welded seams.
How do they attach?
With straps or dedicated systems, tool-free for most models.
For long-distance bikepacking, see the Apidura collection.
