Need to carry extra in your subsequent trip, and have it simply accessible? Route Werks is about to fulfill these wants with The Huge Handlebar Bag. That not-so-subtle identify offers you the right image of what’s in retailer – a supersized model of their unimaginable Handlebar Bag.
Over 4 years in the past now, Route Werks began with one other Kickstarter undertaking. Their unique Handlebar Bag was funded in simply 6 hours, and it was each bit pretty much as good as promised. Particularly, the inflexible body and lid make for simple entry whereas driving, and the organizational pockets and built-in accent mounts make it really easy to carry a very good quantity with you and match it in your bike.
That’s the place The Huge Handlebar Bag (TBHB) is available in. At 6L, the brand new bag is nearly double the scale of the unique. That makes it sufficiently big to suit your digicam or an inside pocket insert that doubles as a cross-body bag, or perhaps a four-pack of tall boys and a burrito! I’m assuming the interior body on TBHB has been beefed as much as accommodate the additional load. Configurable inserts will help you customise the storage group.
You’ll additionally have to ensure you have a minimum of 200mm between the highest of the handlebars and the entrance tire. It’s not really useful for bikes with suspension forks.
Along with the additional storage room, there are additionally additional gadget-carrying capabilities with three completely different digital mounts on the lid. With adapters from Barfly or Quad Lock, or Peak, you may mount absolutely anything from telephones, to GPS computer systems, GoPros, lights, and so forth. However there are additionally the 2 handlebar stub mounts on the facet of the bag to mount lights or bells.
For these new to the Route Werks bag, the system makes use of a inflexible handlebar mount that features a fast launch to put in and take away the bag from the bar. The mount works very properly and could be adjusted in order that there isn’t any play or rattling to the connection. The mount is offered to suit 35mm or 31.8mm bars, and the 31.8mm model could be shimmed to suit 26.0 or 25.4mm bars as properly. Observe that the Huge Bag just isn’t really useful for carbon bars because of the weight and clamping drive wanted to maintain it in place.
Like the unique Handlebar Bag, The Huge Handlebar Bag is presently solely provided by way of a Kickstarter marketing campaign which has already crushed its aim. The minimal pledge to get a bag is $165 which is 28% off the retail value of $230. There are 18 days left on the Kickstarter order window, with manufacturing anticipated to start in early 2025 and supply to backers by April 2025. As at all times, crowdfunding campaigns include a level of threat, so again accordingly.
