The Cyclite Saddle Bag / 02 embodies the grand classic of bikepacking bags, acclaimed by TOUR and RennRad magazines as well as hundreds of ultracyclists. With its 12.9 liters of usable volume for only 356 grams, it sets a new standard for lightness and stability to carry sleeping bag, spare clothing and toiletries in the cyclist's wake.

Unmatched stability thanks to the reinforced SR system

Unlike conventional bags that swing dangerously when out of the saddle, the Saddle Bag / 02 integrates a revolutionary SR mounting system: each saddle rail is secured individually by machined aluminum hooks, completed by a central carbon bar that stiffens the entire assembly. This triangle of forces eliminates all lateral sway, even on rough terrain or during violent sprints, guaranteeing perfectly neutral bike behavior.

LiteGrid-RN200T3 technical material developed by Cyclite

The LiteGrid-RN200T3 fabric is the result of decades of outdoor experience: two layers of recycled nylon 6.6 200 denier are woven using a proprietary ripstop technique, then coated on both sides with TPU/PU3 before being high-frequency welded. Result: a 100% waterproof bag, exceptionally robust, easy to clean and environmentally friendly (Cyclite has been a member of 1% for the Planet since 2025).

Features designed for the long haul

• Roll-top closure with decompression valve: allows rigid compaction of contents and evacuation of residual air for minimal bulk.
• Upper elastic straps: quick attachment of additional clothing or equipment accessible while riding.
• Integrated rear light mount: maintains nighttime visibility without compromising aerodynamics.
• Large reflective pattern: maximum passive safety on shared roads.
• Removable reinforcements: internal HD-PE plastic structure removable according to stiffness preferences.

Compatibility and installation

The Saddle Bag / 02 requires a minimum vertical distance of 23 cm between the base of the seatstays and the rear tire (measured with suspension compressed). The seatpost must extend at least 15 cm above the seatstays. Compatible with aerodynamic posts up to 6 cm wide and carbon posts without risk of damage. If the clamp protrudes from the post, rotate it forward to avoid rubbing.
