Choosing Frame, Handlebar, and Saddle Bags for Your Bike

Bike storage solutions like frame, handlebar, and saddle bags are essential for keeping your gear organised and accessible on the go. Whether you're commuting, bikepacking, or exploring New Zealand’s trails, here's how to choose the right bag for your needs.

Frame Bags

Frame bags fit within your bike’s triangle and are great for carrying heavier or frequently accessed items. Compact triangle pouches are ideal for tools and spares, while larger frame bags with side access offer more room for snacks, electronics, or extra layers—perfect for long-distance riders or bikepackers.

Handlebar Bags

Mounted at the front, handlebar bags are easy to reach and well-suited for light but bulky items like jackets, food, or sleep gear. Many models come as a dry bag with a roll-mount sleeve for weather resistance. They help distribute weight evenly across the front of your bike—ideal for multi-day rides.

Saddle Bags

While this specific range focuses on frame and handlebar storage, saddle bags typically mount under the seat and are ideal for minimalist packing or carrying spares and tools. They're especially useful when frame space is limited or when paired with other front-mounted options.

Summary

Choose a small frame or saddle bag for everyday essentials. Use a handlebar roll with a dry bag for bigger trips or gear protection. For extended touring or adventure rides, a combination of all three gives the best balance of capacity and accessibility.
