The Cyclite Race Backpack / 02 embodies the quintessence of ultra-lightweight backpacks for performance cycling. At only 269 grams (without rain cover), this aerodynamic road companion literally makes you forget it's on your back, even at high intensity. Designed by CYCLITE GmbH in Bavaria, this backpack revolutionizes the concept of minimalist luggage by offering 7 liters of volume perfectly organized for fast rides, gravel races and racing bikepacking.

Technical Summary and Product DNA

The Race Backpack / 02 results from a holistic approach to bikepacking design: every gram, every seam, every material has been designed to achieve the perfect balance between extreme lightness, robustness and maximum functionality. The German brand Cyclite, founded in 2020 in Grassau in the Bavarian Alps, has established itself as a reference in comparative tests thanks to its proprietary LiteGrid-RN200T3 material: a ripstop combining two layers of nylon, double-sided coated and high-frequency welded for optimal waterproofing and easy cleaning.

Technical Highlights

• Trail running carrying system: Inspired by mountain running, the ventilated carrying system integrates ultra-breathable 3D Air mesh and vest-type shoulder straps that fit the body perfectly. Elastic bumpers in the hip belt ensure firm support without compression.
• Intelligent organization: The main zippered compartment features a dedicated hydration bladder sleeve (universal compatibility up to 3L), a zippered pocket with key hook, and compartments for tools and spare parts.
• On-the-go access: Four external elastic pockets allow you to grab gel, bar or inner tube without stopping. The two shoulder strap pockets (one zippered, one for smartphone 17 x 8.5 cm) place essentials within reach.
• High-performance materials: Combination of 70D Ripstop polyamide TPU coating, 20D Ripstop polyamide SIL/PU coating, EVA, 4-way stretch Power Mesh and PE webbing with POM buckles. This synergy guarantees tear resistance, waterproofing and durability.
• Safety and visibility: Large design reflective elements, integrated rear light mount and included rain cover transform this pack into all-conditions equipment.

Geometry and Ergonomics

With its compact dimensions of 48 x 24 x 6 cm, the Race Backpack / 02 adopts a slim and aerodynamic cut that minimizes wind drag. The chest strap system adjustable in height and width adapts to all body types between 165 cm and 2 m, with a maximum hip circumference of 150 cm. The close-to-body shape prevents any swaying on rough terrain, providing exemplary stability even on technical single-tracks.

Environmental Commitment and Manufacturing Quality

Cyclite demonstrates its sustainable commitment with the use of recycled nylon, resource-optimized production and membership in the 1% for the Planet program. YKK zippers, high-frequency welding and meticulous finishes testify to a premium level of requirements. This backpack has won several comparative tests in specialized press (TOUR, BIKE, Velomotion) with excellent ratings.

Use and Application Domain

Ideal for gravel racing rides, ultra-distance races, lightweight bikepacking raids and intensive training where every gram counts. The hydration compartment with tube exit allows hydration without slowing down. The headlamp mount and 7L volume are amply sufficient to carry nutrition, emergency tools, extra layer and safety equipment.
