Rapha On Bike Luggage

Adventure starts anywhere

Description

The capacity to carry everything you need on the bike is crucial on long-distance or multi-day rides. Designed to work in tandem with our other frame packs, the Explore Waterproof Bar Pack provides 16 litres of hassle-free storage with reflective detailing, enabling you to remain self-sufficient and visible on adventures of any length.

Made of the same PU-coated ripstop polyester fabric as our other packs, the Bar Pack is highly durable and built to last. The hard-wearing fabric, combined with welded seams and a double-sided roll closure system, make it completely waterproof and ensure the pack keeps its shape while attached to the bike. To minimise bulk, the pack can be rolled up tight in order to release air trapped inside through one-way valves positioned on the back side. This area of the pack is reinforced to guard against rubbing cables and to provide a stable anchor point for the straps which attach to the handlebar and stem. Two reflective Brevet stripes run down the front for added visibility in low light conditions.

Please note, overpacking and stuffing may put pressure on the aquaguard zips and result in moisture transferring into the pack.

Features

Roll up, pack down:

One-way valves allow excess air to escape when the pack is rolled up.

Stay seen:

Signature Brevet stripes are highly reflective for visibility in low light.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not bad but too expensive for what it is. Sturdy and holds firmly in place. However it's really missing a waterproof zipper to make the content accessible without having to faff with the whole thing. Compared to the saddle pack (which I'm very pleased with) the price tag is very hard to justify and I'm betting Rapha's margin on this item is huge compared to that on the saddle pack. At this price point I'd only recommend buying this bag f you already have the saddle pack and want to match it - otherwise you can probably find just as good for much cheaper.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Water tight and stylish but a few tweaks required. Didn't think about it, but the bag clashes with my rear brake cable which goes from the handlebars into the headset. Apart from that the bag is a winner. Waterproof and easy to mount. It would be useful if the straps came in different sizes or had a feature to hide the excess as they flap in the breeze a little.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from An expensive way to scratch your paint Scratched my paint so bad! How is there no warning of this Rapha? If your headtube is a complex shape, taping it up will look messy. It is very expensive for what it is and not very practical. There is no harness so you need to take the entire thing off the bike to access the bag. Packing it is hard because there is no valve to release trapped air. I don't think I can use more than half the size and fit it and my hands on my handlebars, the rolled ends of the drybag annoy my fingers, some strap to compress them would have been helpful. It also needs spacers so you can hold more of the handlebar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A minor improvement on the Apidura version I also own the previous version made by Apidura. I preferred the styliung of that. This bag has a bigger capacity which is helpful in theory but not really achievable because I can't fit it between my bars (40cm) if I fill it right up. Ignoring that it's a great bag. Easy to use and effective.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish, Waterproof Bag. Limited use. Would be helpful if it had at least one pocket. Not for access whilst riding. Using as commuter or to have beach clothes on a longer trip. Odd to mount, with a headlamp and computer mounted, but figuring it out.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Touches the wheel Has to be stuffed full, if not it will touch the wheel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly as expected I bought this to use to commute to work along as an introduction to bikepacking. Has worked great so far to take the weight off my back and ride my road bike to work. Haven't bike packed yet but I know it will work great. Reflectors are a big plus too

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend. Amazing piece of gear. I was sick of wearing a backpack on my daily commute to work. Purchased the bar pack and, shortly thereafter, the medium top tube bag. Stylish and convenient. Fast shipping.

Will this fit on a bike with inline brake levers? 

Asked by: Maily
The waterproof bar pack should fit right underneath the brake levers but your breaking experience would be highly affected due to your fingers scratching the bag when breaking.

Will this bag work on a mountain bike with a flatbar? There are much more cabling compared to a road bike, and cabling is not tucked away under bar tape

Asked by: WilhelmLan
Yes, you can mount this waterproof bar bag on a flat bar mountain bike. You may have to streamline cabling with zip ties, or redirect them in another way to allow compatibility, but the bar bag should mount without much issue.

Would this be compatible with 40mm wide handlebars? Ie would there be enough space for hands to be on the drops with this fitted?

Asked by: hm82
The width of the pack is nearly 40cm wide, we would recommend to compress the pack to leave more space for your hands on the drops. We would usually recommend a wider handle bar , up to 42cm to leave enough space for the bar pack to be fitted.

I wonder if the bag won't affect bike handling when filled up with commuting clothing + shoes and some personal stuff (mobile phone and wallet). I'm in doubt between this and the saddle one for the same purpose.

Asked by: Durval M
The Bar Pack is intended for lightweight items like jackets and sleeping bags. Heavier items should be packed in saddle bags or frame packs. Heavier items like shoes packed in this bag can cause handling issues, so only lightweight compressible items should be carried in this location.
