Stingray

James gritted his teeth, pulled up on his bars and pushed hard on the pedals, his tyres jerked against the friction of the gravel track as if they we're fitted with traction control. As he reached the ridge line, the trees that had surrounded him for the last hour gave away to a full 360 degree vista of mountain tops glowing red from the setting sun. He knew it would be only minutes before the stove was lit and could really appreciate the view in its all it's glory.

Features

Frame bags make the most of the storage space inside your frame. With a low centre of gravity and a secure attachment system any compromises you may have to make in terms of off-road bike handling are minimised.

A note on frame design
Some frames are better suited for bikepacking than others. In general the simpler, and larger the frame the greater its potential capacity. If you have a full suspension bike, or you prefer to keep your bottle cages on then the frame bag is inevitably going to be smaller.

Width
Remember that bulky items in your frame bag can cause the sides to bulge out, so while it is tempting to go for a wide bag to fit as much as possible in it the greater the chance it will rub on your rotating cranks.

Document Pocket (+£15)
The size of your document pocket will vary depending on your frame size. We cannot guarantee that on OS map will fit in it. The map pocket is sewn onto the drive side of the frame bag.

Divider Compartment (+£20)
This option will divide the main compartment into 2 sections with a removable horizontal insert. A second horizontal zip will be added to allow access to the bottom section, highly recommended on larger frame bags to stop them bulging out.

Specification

  • UK Made: Right here in Nottingham
  • Panels: Dimension Polyant VX21
  • Edge panels: 100D Cordura
  • Zip: YKK size 5 PU-coated coiled zipper
  • Velcro Attachments: along the top tube, seat tube and down tube. There is also an attachment point around the head tube if it is long enough.
  • Edges are foam lined to help keep the shape of the bag and reduce damage to contents on the frame.

Dimension Polyant fabric is very weatherproof but we do not guarantee these bags are waterproof as the seams are not sealed. On a long ride water may eventually seep through the zip and the seams and keeping anything that absolutely must stay dry in a lightweight drybag such as an Airlok is good practice.
