Details

Zeitgeist Bag is the bonafide bicycle saddle and handlebar bag.

The bicycle attachment feature on the Zeitgeist includes two sets of mounting points: one that matches the standard spacing of integrated saddle loops, and another that’s set further apart for use on the bars. All punches through the bag’s mounting points have been done away with, and the flap no longer has stitching through all layers of textile for enhanced weatherproofing.

Improvements with handling in mind:

An HDPE liner adds structure to the bag, improving its stability on the bicycle. Compression straps pull the bag close to the bicycle, keeping cargo weight compact and tight.

Sizing and standard features:

The Zeitgeist Bag is available in one size, and comes standard with flap daisy chains and dee rings for versatile off-bike carry and extra dangle capacity.

How-To

The two-step guide to checking the compatibility of the Zeitgeist and you’re handlebars.

Specs for handlebar width compatibility:

- Width of bag including the materials from the side pockets: 39cm wide when pockets are folded down)
- 48cm when side-pockets are full

Measure the spacing of your handlebars, inside-to-inside at the hoods.
If you have integrated shifting, enlist a friend to engage the levers fully into the center space between the bars, and measure the space from tip-to-tip.

Clearance specs for use at the handlebars and on the saddle:

You’ll need 8+” between your handlebars and the top of your tire (front and back) to use the Zeitgeist without a support or rack.
