A bike saddle bag is the simplest way to carry what you need on every ride without a backpack. It straps under the seat, out of the way, and holds a spare tube, tyre levers, a multitool, keys, a card and a snack. Our bicycle saddle bags are compact, water-resistant and stable, for road bikes, commuters, MTB and touring.

Our bike saddle bags

  • SaddleSwift™
    A compact, lightweight under-seat bag with water-resistant material, reflective details for visibility and an easy mount under your saddle. Perfect for road cyclists and commuters who carry the essentials.

What to carry in a saddle bag

A small saddle bag for your bike is your roadside repair kit. Most riders keep it permanently on the bike, packed with:

  • a spare inner tube or a tubeless plug kit,
  • tyre levers and a CO₂ inflator or mini pump adapter,
  • a compact multitool with the Allen keys for your bike,
  • a quick link for your chain,
  • a bank card, a little cash, keys and an energy bar.

Your phone is better in a handlebar bag, where you can see it and reach it while riding.

How to choose a bicycle saddle bag

Size

A small saddle bag holds a tube and tools for road rides and keeps the bike light and clean-looking. A larger seat pack adds room for a jacket or food on commutes and tours. Pick the smallest bag that fits your kit: it will move less and won't touch your legs.

Waterproofing

Under the saddle, a bag takes all the spray from the rear wheel. Choose a waterproof saddle bag or at least a water-resistant one with protected zips so your tools don't rust and your phone or cards stay dry.

Mounting and stability

A good saddle bag attaches to the saddle rails and the seat post and stays still on rough roads. Check that it leaves enough clearance above the rear tyre, especially on small frames and full-suspension MTBs.

Visibility

Reflective details on the back of the bag add visibility from behind, a useful bonus for commuting at dusk.

Road, MTB and commuter saddle bags

Road bike saddle bag

On a road bike, the goal is a small, streamlined bag that holds a tube, levers, a CO₂ inflator and a multitool without swinging when you sprint or climb out of the saddle. SaddleSwift™ is built for exactly that.

MTB saddle bag

On a mountain bike, the bag must survive mud, roots and drops. A waterproof, shock-resistant MTB saddle bag like CycloPack™ keeps your kit dry and secure. On a dropper post, mount it on the saddle rails only and check that it clears the tyre when the post is down.

Commuter and touring saddle bag

For commuting and touring, a little extra volume is welcome for a rain shell, a lock key, gloves or lunch. Reflective details help you stay visible in traffic after dark.

How to mount a saddle bag

  1. Thread the top strap or clip through the saddle rails and tighten it so the bag sits flush under the seat.
  2. Wrap the lower strap around the seat post and pull it tight so the bag can't sway.
  3. Pack heavy items (tools, CO₂) at the front, close to the seat post, and light items at the back.
  4. Spin the rear wheel and push down on the saddle to check the bag never touches the tyre.

Saddle bag FAQ

What is a bike saddle bag?

A small bag that straps under the bicycle seat, to the saddle rails and seat post, to carry tools and essentials. It is different from motorcycle or horse saddlebags.

Will a saddle bag fit my bike?

Our saddle bags mount under standard saddles on road, city, MTB and e-bikes. Check the clearance above the rear tyre on very small frames or full-suspension bikes.

Are your saddle bags waterproof?

CycloPack™ is waterproof; SaddleSwift™ is water-resistant, ideal for showers and road spray.

Should I use a saddle bag or a handlebar bag?

Use a saddle bag for the repair kit you rarely need, and a handlebar bag for what you want within reach: phone, snacks, sunglasses. Many riders use both.
