This, combined with the slimmer design, means we’d expect there to be less of an aerodynamic penalty, although this is purely anecdotal as we can’t back this up with data. Lezyne was better known to us for its off-road and commuting storage solutions, but the Aero Energy Caddy is aimed squarely at ‘triathletes and gravel racers’. If no holes, no problem as your FoodCell® comes complete with a VELCRO attachment system, allowing almost any bike with a toptube to use the FoodCell®.

Sturdy Bag Designs is proud to source the majority of their fabrics and components from within Minnesota, and if not, from the United States.Riders who like to keep their gels, chews, and other adventure fuel organized will appreciate this top-tube bag from Bontrager. Designed and handmade in Cumbria, UK, the Aiguille Alpine Gear Pod is designed to be big enough to hold all of the “bits you would normally have bulging from your pockets.

The phone pocket fits my iPhone 6 with a bulky case which can be great for zipping around town or double checking turns while bikepacking. We’ll keep to the drier but more descriptive “top tube bag,” rather than more pictorial alternatives for the purpose of this roundup. The bag’s lid self-closes under its own weight, and an integrated cable outlet facilitates on-the-go charging of your devices in a dry space. For Cervelo bikes, I have to design a different box for each model that I sell a box for, I also have to design the box to fit each size due to the shape of the frames, that’s 5-6 rear boxes and 5-6 bottom bracket boxes. It’s made from a unique seam-welded VX21 X-Pac, an industry first, and comes in one size that provides 1L of storage.They also offer a long version with a 2L capacity and extra-long length that spans between your stem and seat post. The daisy chain on the front allows for adjustable attachment, to better fit any frame, while still providing optimum stability. With the ability to hold up to 16 snickers bars, the Alamogordo shares the same design as Alamo as well—including HDPE stiffeners and foam padding. With an IPX6 rating, the bag is waterproof, a claim that was repeatedly proven on many a soggy summer ride.
