Gravel bags: the essential cycling kit for bikepacking

Gravel bags are a must-have for any rider setting off on an adventure. Designed for bikepacking, these bags let you carry your kit without weighing your bike down. This bike gear is an integral part of your cycling kit, whether for a day ride or a long-distance expedition.

Unlike traditional pannier setups, gravel bags strap directly to the bike (frame, saddle, handlebar), offering a lightweight, versatile system for varied terrain. For a complete setup, pair your luggage with MTB & gravel shoes and cycling apparel.

The different types of bikepacking bags

Gravel luggage is made up of several bag types, each playing a specific role in weight distribution:

  • - frame bag: ideal for heavy, stable items
  • - seat pack: large volume for clothing and gear
  • - handlebar bag/roll: perfect for sleep system or lightweight kit
  • - top-tube bag: quick access to essentials (nutrition, phone)

This layout balances the bike and optimizes handling, even on technical terrain.

Bike gear built for adventure and performance

Gravel bags are engineered to handle the demands of off-road cycling. They offer:

  • - abrasion-resistant materials
  • - weatherproofing suited to changing conditions
  • - a stable, no-sway fit
  • - lightweight construction to preserve performance

These features make this luggage a high-performance bike setup, essential for long distances and bikepacking.

How to choose your gravel bags?

Your choice of bike bags depends on your riding and the length of your outings. For a weekend, a lightweight setup is enough, while a multi-day adventure will require more volume.

Key factors to consider:

  • - capacity (in liters) to suit your needs
  • - weight distribution on the bike
  • - compatibility with your gravel frame
  • - durability and waterproofing

Bikepacking bags typically range from 1L to 14L depending on their position and intended use.

Bags suited to gravel, MTB and long-distance

Gravel bags are designed to adapt to several disciplines:

  • - gravel for adventures and long distances
  • - MTB for technical terrain
  • - bikepacking for self-supported travel

Pair your setup with a MTB & gravel helmet and cycling glasses for a complete cycling kit.
