Trail series: VAUDE's bikepacking bags explained
Just get out there – this phrase probably best describes the appeal of bikepacking. The emphasis here is on simple. Accordingly, the VAUDE bikepacking bag series consists of high-frequency welded, waterproof bags with well-designed fastening systems. They are designed for tours with a high proportion of terrain and minimal luggage. In this post, we explain what this means in concrete terms.

Trailfront Cage Handlebar Bag
The Trailfront Cage bike handlebar bag consists of two parts: a mount and a 10-liter pack sack. This means that the mount can be left permanently on the bike during bike packing trips and only the pack sack needs to be taken along for security. Thanks to the spacers supplied, the mount can be positioned ideally for specific handlebars. The elastic straps allow small items or textiles to be attached to the outside. The pack sack itself is waterproof and can be quickly and easily attached to the bracket with two buckles.

Screw-on bike bag
This bike bag has two openings for screws. These allow the bag to be mounted easily, reliably, and securely to the frame. The openings are 6.4 cm apart so that the bag fits onto the corresponding frames. The exact position of the bag is specified in the product description. To find out whether your bicycle or the corresponding screws are designed for the bag and how tightly it can be attached to the frame, refer to your bicycle's instructions or contact the manufacturer.
Trailframe M & L frame bags
To make optimal use of the entire frame triangle, the Trailframe L frame bike bag (edge length fourteen centimeters) can be combined with the Trailframe M (edge length 20 centimeters). There are two slots in the bottom of the bag through which the top tube attachments of the Tralframe M can be looped. With a total volume of eight liters, this bikepacking combination fills the entire space between the frame tubes. Please note the dimensions.
Trailframe M
The waterproof welded Trailframe M bike bag is attached to the top tube and seat tube with three sturdy Velcro straps. The main compartment is accessible via a welded zipper. With a volume of three liters, it offers enough space for a repair kit, pump, mini tool, or a thin rain jacket. A small organizer pocket inside keeps small items tidy. Please note the dimensions.

The waterproof welded bag is attached to the head tube, top tube, and seat tube using sturdy Velcro straps. The slim design offers sufficient knee room, while an internal Velcro fastener helps to secure the contents and prevent the bag from bulging. The zippered organizer in the main compartment separates small items from larger luggage. The very long, waterproof main zipper makes it easy to pack and unpack. Please note the dimensions.

Trailsaddle L
The waterproof welded Trailsaddle Compact L bicycle saddle bag offers a reliable solution for carefree bike packing with its large packing volume of ten liters, aerodynamic shape, and secure KLICKfix® quick attachment. The waterproof wrap-around closure and a ventilation valve allow for optimal compression of the contents. A long stabilizing strap attached to the top compresses and secures the contents after rolling up with a hook buckle flexibly in a webbing strip, to which a flashing light or other small items can also be attached. If the strap is not needed, it can simply be removed. A flexible cord spider on the top of the saddle bag keeps gloves or a rain jacket quickly within reach.

Maximum load: 4 kilograms
Volume: 10,5 liters

KLICKfix Contour Saddle Adapter
Attaching bags to the saddle is quick and easy with the Contour Saddle Adapter. The distance between the bag and the rear wheel is particularly large. This makes the system particularly suitable for mountain bikes with 29-inch wheels, full suspension bikes, bikes with small frame sizes, and bikes with dropper seat posts. Since the adapter is mainly attached to the saddle and not to the seat post, it is also a good alternative for carbon seat posts. The angle of inclination can be adjusted so that the bag can be aligned precisely with the rear wheel. The maximum load is two kilograms; if the Velcro strap is also attached, the load increases to four kilograms.
Trailsaddle Cage Saddle Bag
For anyone who wants to travel without a luggage rack! With the Trailsaddle Cage bike saddle bag, nothing stands in the way of an extended bike packing trip. The removable pack sack with a volume of 15 liters is ideal for storing basic equipment. The waterproof roll closure and a ventilation valve allow for optimal compression of the contents. The pack sack holder has a slim design, keeps the pack sack in shape, and does not interfere with pedaling. The elastic cord spider located at the top of the holder can be used to attach a rain jacket or even a flashlight for quick access.
