4 features that you should consider<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A backpack pulls on your shoulders and jacket pockets are too narrow for a pump, mobile phone and other items? A bike bag provides a remedy. It protects your equipment and keeps it tidy. But what really matters? We will show you 4 important features that every bag should have.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Waterproof material <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain, mud or dust \u2013 good bike bags should keep your belongings clean and dry. High-quality models are made of water-repellent or splash-proof material and have zips that do not allow water to get inside. The best example is the EXPLORE FRAME BAG<\/a> from the FLOWBAG series. The bag is fully welded and protects the contents even in heavy rain showers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Secure mounting<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No flapping, no slipping \u2013 a bag must sit securely on the bike. Non-slip and adjustable Velcro straps ensure a firm hold. The FLOWBAGS are attached with extra long Velcro straps, which also protect your frame thanks to the tube protection. You can cut them individually, buy them as a spare part and replace them easily. This way you can be sustainable whilst out and about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Reflective details <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially at dusk and in poor light conditions, it is important that you can be easily seen. Bike bags with reflective details greatly increase your visibility. For example, the TRAIL SADDLE BAG L<\/a> has reflector strips along the pocket and reflective brackets for your rear light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Functional design <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high-quality bike bag is characterised by a clever design and user-friendly features: easily accessible side pockets, carabiner loops, a shoulder strap or cable grommet. Models that can be mounted in different places on the bike are particularly practical. You can attach the URBAN STEM BAG<\/a><\/strong> to the handlebar, downtube or saddle. Our RACE FRAME BAG<\/a><\/strong> fits into the front and rear frame triangle as well as onto aero seatposts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
