Need to carry extra in your subsequent experience, and have it simply accessible? Route Werks is about to fulfill these wants with The Huge Handlebar Bag. That not-so-subtle title 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 challenge. Their authentic Handlebar Bag was funded in simply 6 hours, and it was each bit pretty much as good as promised. Specifically, the inflexible body and lid make for straightforward entry whereas driving, and the organizational pockets and built-in accent mounts make it really easy to convey a great 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 inner pocket insert that doubles as a cross-body bag, or perhaps a four-pack of tall boys and a burrito! I’m assuming the inner body on TBHB has been beefed as much as accommodate the additional load. Configurable inserts will will let you customise the storage group.
You’ll additionally have to be sure to have no less than 200mm between the highest of the handlebars and the entrance tire. It’s not beneficial for bikes with suspension forks.
Along with the additional storage room, there are additionally additional gadget-carrying capabilities with three totally different digital mounts on the lid. With adapters from Barfly or Quad Lock, or Peak, you’ll be able to mount absolutely anything from telephones, to GPS computer systems, GoPros, lights, and many others. However there are additionally the 2 handlebar stub mounts on the aspect 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 effectively and might be adjusted in order that there isn’t a play or rattling to the connection. The mount is on the market to suit 35mm or 31.8mm bars, and the 31.8mm model might be shimmed to suit 26.0 or 25.4mm bars as effectively. Word that the Huge Bag just isn’t beneficial for carbon bars because of the weight and clamping pressure wanted to maintain it in place.
Like the unique Handlebar Bag, The Huge Handlebar Bag is at the moment solely supplied by means of a Kickstarter marketing campaign which has already crushed its objective. 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.
