ZONE3 Aero Top Tube Cycling/Triathlon 'Bento Box' Bag, Black/Silver, One Size

Product Information

Make sure the bag is large enough to accommodate your necessities without being too bulky or interfering with your riding. Aerodynamics

An aerodynamic top tube bag can minimise wind resistance and reduce drag, which is especially crucial if you're a performance-oriented cyclist or regularly ride at higher speeds. Mounting systemThe thinner your top tube and heavier the bag, the more unstable you’ll find it, and this is where top tube bags attached by bolts can win out (Altura also offers a bolt-on version). The bag is attached to the top tube via three Velcro-style straps (two at the bottom, one at the front).

Easy access to your belongings while riding is crucial. Look for a top tube bag that has convenient zippers or closures that can be easily opened with one hand. Waterproofing When looking for a top tube bag for your bike, there are several important factors to consider. Here are the key aspects to look for: Size and capacity The size of the top tube bag will determine how much gear you can carry in it. Consider what items you plan to store in the bag, such as energy bars, energy gels, a multi-tool, spare tube, or other essentials. With an IPX6 rating, the bag is waterproof, a claim that was repeatedly proven on many a soggy summer ride.There’s still one litre of space available and we had no issues storing multiple gels, a tool, phone and mini pump. Based on this, we’d say this is also a solid choice for long days in the saddle. Like the Altura, it would occasionally lean to one side, but not all that often. And, unlike the Altura, our knees rarely found it obtrusive, either. This achieves a reasonably secure fit, but through months of testing we did sometimes find the bag would lean to one side. Overall, selecting the right top tube bag will depend on your specific needs and preferences, as well as the type of cycling you intend to do.
