Handlebar Bags shop the largest and most affordable!

A convenient and compact bag for your handlebars: experience the advantages!

A handlebar bag is super handy! You can store all your smaller items in it, like your phone, a repair kit, an extra pair of cycling glasses or a snack for the road. With the bag’s convenient design, you can always access your things while you’re cycling. 

You can easily determine your route without having to stop, with a model featuring a clear pocket to display your map. The map stays dry, will not be blown shut and is easy to read. Without adding too much weight to your handlebars, you will enjoy all the advantages of a convenient, multi-purpose bag. And as easy as it is to install this bag, it will be just as easy to take it off when you stop somewhere. 

What makes handlebar bags even more appealing is that many manufacturers understand that handlebar bags don’t have to look sporty. Even cyclists that prefer an elegant yet practical model can find a bag that gives them their money’s worth, like a trendy shoulder bag that you can turn into a handlebar bag in the blink of an eye. 
 

Keep this in mind when buying a handlebar bag

There are many types of cyclists, who all have different needs. For this reason, there is a wide variety of handlebar bags in different shapes, versions and sizes. So what should you look for in a handlebar bag? 
 

Load

There is a limit to the amount of weight you can put on the handlebars, partly because of how it influences your balance and steering ability. When you’re carrying too much weight, or have loose items shifting in the handlebar bag on sharp turns, your steering may be less stable, or you could lose control of the bicycle altogether. Make sure to check the maximum load-bearing capacity of the handlebars, but also be careful not to overload the bag or the mounting mechanism.

Handlebar bags are available in different sizes, so you can choose the exact size you need - from 500 ml to a whopping 24 liters! Keep in mind though, that the handlebar bag (usually) has a relatively small capacity. 

In a 2-liter handlebar bag, you can put a few small essentials like your phone, keys and wallet. A sporty model for trekking will easily be over 9 liters. The most common size handlebar bag is around 7 or 8 liters, with enough room for essentials, as well as a water bottle and your lunch.
 

Installation room

Handlebar bags usually fit regular city bikes, as well as e-bikes, hybrids and sports bicycles (although trying to install them on butterfly handlebars might be pushing it). You can often install them with a handy clicking mechanism, like the KLICKfix. These mechanisms fit virtually any bicycle. Sometimes, you may need to purchase an adapter or handlebar spacers to properly install the handlebar bag, without it getting in the way of your lighting, cables and other parts.
