Ideal for carrying lightweight, compressible kit, the Expedition Handlebar Pack is a handy partner for long-distance road bike tours, weekend trips, or even a daily ride to work. Eliminating the need for a bulky front rack, the bag fastens to handlebars with a reinforced attachment system that adds stability while improving handling and preventing abrasion. Dual roll-top closure keeps the contents secure, while allowing flexible packing capacity. A hands-free air release vent makes compressing the bag hassle-free, while welded seams ensure that contents stay dry in all conditions. The handlebar bag is available in two sizes: the 14L version is ideal for long haul touring, while the 9L is well suited for endurance road racing and randonneuring. While excellent as a standalone bag, it’s possible to expand it with an Accessory Pack that provides a handy pocket for food and electronics.

Review: MAAP x Apidura Handlebar Pack (9L)

The Apidura Handlebar Pack (compact) is well made and functional but is best suited to bikes with flat handlebars and access on the go isn't a strong point. Despite being durable and lightweight, the shape and attachment system pose limitations. The high price given these limitations results in a lower value rating.
