Cyclocross bike kitted up with Apidura bikepacking gear, perfect for light and fast rides.
Products pictured: Full Frame Pack (Med.), Handlebar Pack (Dry, 14L), Saddle Pack (Compact)
The full-frame bag is tailored to fit bikes with more traditional, level top tubes rather than the ultra-compact front triangles on most mountain bikes. It is available in three sizes to fit a wide range of bikes.
The Frame Pack has a much slimmer profile than similar bags, improving knee clearance and preventing the pack from bulging. The internally-divided pockets are accessible via three zippers.
The Frame Pack features sturdy velcro attachment points and shielded, non-waterproof zippers which tend to be more reliable than waterproof models.
The Frame Bag also integrates a hidden hydration hose exit point. The upper section of the bag (separated by an internal divider) accommodates an average 3L bladder easily.
Apidura’s Saddle Pack is a variation on a tried-and-true design with thoughtful details that set it apart.
Quality hardware and reflective details on the Saddle Pack.
The Saddle Pack incorporates a series of taillight attachment loops. One should be accessible no matter how far the bag is rolled.
Shock Cord is included on the top of the Saddle Pack to secure extra layers or other gear.
The Waterproof Handlebar Pack incorporates a cleverly-hidden valve for purging of excess air inside the bag. Shock cord and attachment points for optional accessories add to its versatility. It is offered in a range of sizes to fit any cockpit.
Apidura bikepacking gear is perfect for light and fast adventures on a wide variety of terrain and bicycles – especially those with more horizontal top tubes. These products fill an important void and expand the utility of bikes that may not have been considered appropriate for touring in the past. So, load up and hit the road!

Matt,
I hear you on that one. Not a lot of colorful options for bikepacking kit outside the custom world… Maybe as the market grows we’ll see more of that. Thanks for reading!

It is interesting though as for the VAST majority of sales on Bike Packing Gear black is color of choice, then grey. Which is different from the Bike Touring gear where color of choice is yellow, then red – Visibility on shared roads. Stealth on back roads and trails?
