The Cyclite Frame Bag XT / 01 embodies the philosophy of modern bikepacking: ultra-lightweight (173 g complete, 113 g without reinforcement), 100% waterproof, and designed to exploit every cubic centimeter of the frame triangle on large-sized bikes. With its 46 cm length and generous volume of 3.2 liters, this extended frame bag transforms the lost space of oversized frames into strategic central storage, without compromising access to water bottles or the dynamic behavior of the bike.

Technical Architecture and Innovative Materials

• Exclusive LiteGrid-RN200T3 material: 200 denier ripstop fabric in recycled nylon (PA/N6.6), TPU/PU3 bi-layer, specifically developed by Cyclite. Two thicknesses of yarn woven using a proprietary technique create an ultra tear-resistant fabric, then coated on both sides to guarantee absolute waterproofness and easy cleaning.
• High-frequency thermowelded construction: complete absence of sewn seams, all joints are welded to eliminate any water, mud, or dust infiltration points, even during extended rides in the rain.
• Double waterproof zipper: left access (flat compartment for documents/valuables) and right (volumetric main compartment) with YKK waterproof sliders.
• Removable HDPE interior reinforcement: perfect dimensional stability, the bag maintains its shape even when half empty, eliminates friction and parasitic noise while riding.

Internal Organization and Features

• Main compartment with right side access: approximately 2.4L for tools, packable windbreaker, power bank, folding lock, dense nutrition, or complete repair kit.
• Flat left side compartment: 0.8L for wallet, documents, smartphone, maps, energy gels, or bars.
• Two interior elastic mesh pockets: storage for small accessories (multi-tool, spare inner tube, tire levers, patches) for immediate access without rummaging.
• Integrated key hook: your keys always remain within reach, securely attached.
• Protected cable/hose routing on front face: ideal for routing a USB charging cable to the cockpit, a hydration bladder hose, or electronic sensor cables.

Attachment System and Stability

Ultra-resistant Velcro straps with double loop attached to the top tube and head tube, supplied in multiple lengths to adapt precisely to variable geometries of gravel, endurance road, hardtail MTB, or touring bikes. No noise, no parasitic movement even on rough paths or technical singletracks. The supplied transparent protective adhesive film preserves the frame paint from repeated friction.

Geometry and Frame Compatibility

The XT (eXTended) version measures 46 cm long, specifically designed for L/XL size frames or modern elongated geometries (endurance gravel, bikepacking-oriented). Its contained height of 13 cm and width of only 6 cm guarantee compatibility with standard bottle cages, even on small frames with significant reach. Caution: on some full-suspension MTBs, the rear shock may limit available space under the top tube — verify geometry before purchase.

Use and Disciplines

• Long-distance bikepacking: weight placement at the geometric center of the bike to maintain maneuverability and stability on loaded descents.
• Gravel racing and ultra-endurance: 173 g for 3.2L, exceptional weight/volume ratio, quick access to consumables and technical equipment without slowing down.
• Cycle touring and bike travel: ideal complement to fork and saddle bags, homogeneous load distribution.
• Day rides: minimalist transport without backpack, frees shoulders and back, improves comfort and ventilation.
