Topeak Frontloader 8 Litre Bag for Handlebars, Sports and Outdoor, Black, 50 x 15 x 15 cm / 19.7 x 5.9 inches x 5.9 inches

Product Information

The handlebar harness itself is now attached to the handlebars bombproof. Even after several days of the roughest trails, I didn’t have to readjust the straps. The fabric is water repellent but not waterproof. In my opinion, this is hardly a problem in practice! Due to the mounting in the frame triangle, rainwater reaches many places on the bike but hardly the position inside the frame triangle. Even fully loaded, the bag keeps its shape well and hardly expands. Thus, I never bumped the bag with my knees while pedaling. The access can be from the left as well as from the right: There is a zipper on both sides of the frame bag

The Topeak frame bag uses the upper area of the bike frame. The Topeak Midloader is available in three different sizes: 3L, 4,5L and 6Liter. The range is thus quite broad to fill most frames well.

Note about the Drybag: The Drybag is from Decathlon. Topeak Versacage: The fork bag can be used as an oversized bottle cage, e.g. for a 1.5 liter Nalgene bottle, or hold a 5L pannier securely on the bike fork. The maximum weight of the reel is given with 5 kilos which is a lot. As an example, my tent and sleeping pad weigh about 1.7 kilos. That’s far less than half the allowable weight. The Frontloader bag was often easy to fit as well as stable out on the trail. The addition of the air valve on the dry bag meant that you could compact the bag contents smaller and more solidly which in turn meant that the harness held the dry bag securely. It didn't slip or side while I was using the system. Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

Then I fitted the bag to a drop bar bike with under tape brake cables but with external gear cables (see photo four in the above gallery). Prior to fitting I thought that this setup would be the most awkward as it often is when using bar bags. However I was surprised that it was really straight forward to fit and that the cables just sat over the top of the harness and bag.

With the Freeloader handlebar bag, the high-quality workmanship is immediately noticeable and the handling of the bag is also very well thought out. The bag itself is rain-repellent. If it does rain heavily, a pull-out rain cover is integrated into the left side panel of the Topeak Toploader. Now the plastic clips can be clipped tightly and will hold securely. With a rigging device you can pull the bag really tight on the saddle. Freeloader (stem bag): The Topeak Freeloader stem bag is fully thought out and has proven itself in practice: In the handling it is simple and in the processing of high quality. The manufacturer has thought along with the product design here. The Freeloader works particularly well in combination with the Topeak Frontloader (handlebar roller): The attachment to the handlebar is particularly space-saving in this case.Topeak Frontloader handlebar bag: Even on a flare handlebar there is enough space left and right of the bag. Commuting in winter and also travelling in countries with a lot of precipitation should not be a problem (e.g. Denmark in April).
