The CYCLITE First Aid Kit / 01 represents a revolution in the world of bikepacking safety: it is the first ultralight first aid kit specifically designed to meet the demands of adventurous cyclists and ambitious bikepackers. Developed in collaboration with professional paramedic first responders, this compact kit weighing only 192 grams integrates all the essential equipment to treat cycling-specific injuries: skin abrasions, cuts, irritations, and emergency situations. Manufactured by Cyclite, a Bavarian brand based in Grassau recognized for its expertise in ultralight bikepacking equipment, this kit embodies the perfect alliance between extreme compactness, medical efficiency and field practicality.

Professional medical design for cyclists

The contents of the First Aid Kit / 01 have been meticulously selected with emergency first responders to address the specific risks encountered in cycling. Unlike generic kits, this one integrates elements adapted to cycling trauma:

• Compress with healing ointment: essential for frequent skin abrasions in case of falls on road or gravel
• 50 ml of wound disinfectant: allows immediate and effective cleaning of injuries even in isolated environments
• CPR resuscitation mask: vital safety equipment rarely included in compact kits
• Thermal survival blanket: protection against hypothermia in case of accident or prolonged waiting
• Multi-format bandages: 1 large, 1 small, gauze bandage, 4 adhesive bandages for all situations
• 2 pairs of disposable gloves: hygiene and protection during care

Ultralight and ultra-compact: designed for bikepacking

With a weight of 192 g according to the manufacturer (228-230 g measured with all accessories), the First Aid Kit / 01 holds the title of lightest first aid kit on the market in its complete category. By comparison, the competing Ortlieb kit weighs 306 g with lesser contents. Its optimized dimensions of 13 x 6 x 6 cm (volume 0.11 L) allow it to easily slip into any available space:

• Compatible with all Cyclite bags: perfect integration in Frame Bag, Handle Bar Aero Bag, Saddle Bag
• Fits most bikepacking bags from other brands thanks to its universal format
• Peripheral zipper closure: quick access and clear view of all contents in emergency situations
• Intelligent Velcro attachment system: velcro strips on the kit + adhesive fasteners provided to anchor it securely in any bag

Integrated emergency identification system

Cyclite has thought of a crucial detail often overlooked: rapid location of the kit in case of emergency. The First Aid Kit / 01 includes 2 waterproof "First Aid" stickers to place on the outside of the bag where you store the kit. In case of an accident leaving you unconscious or unable to communicate, rescue services or witnesses can instantly identify where the medical equipment is located. A detail that can save precious minutes.

Optimal use and recommended storage

• Recommended locations: Frame Bag or Handle Bar Aero Bag for easy and quick access
• Weather protection: the kit itself is not waterproof and must be stored in a waterproof bag
• Priority accessibility: place it in an easily and quickly accessible pocket
• Use of fasteners: the supplied velcros allow it to be held in a fixed position in the bag, preventing it from moving during riding

Cyclite philosophy: performance and responsibility

Founded in 2020 in Grassau in Upper Bavaria by Christoph Kirsch and Max Barnsteiner, two bikepacking enthusiasts with over 45 years of combined experience in outdoor marketing and design, Cyclite has established itself as a reference in ultralight equipment. The brand is distinguished by:

• 100% plastic-free packaging: concrete ecological commitment
• Member of "1% for the Planet" since 2025, donating a portion of revenue to environmental organizations
• Use of recycled materials throughout the range since August 2025 (high-performance recycled nylon)
• Custom manufacturing in Germany for certain products, with rigorous quality control
