Frame-Pack RC Toptube

Yes, the Frame-Pack can also be mounted on carbon frames. We recommend applying protective film at the contact points to avoid abrasion and damage.

The Frame-Pack can be easily attached to most bicycle frames thanks to its variably positionable hook-and-loop fasteners. The robust, high-grip straps are simply fixed to the top tube, seat tube, and down tube and can be individually adjusted or shortened. To check whether the Frame-Pack in your desired size fits your bike, you’ll find a printable template in the “Downloads” section. Cut it out and place it on your frame triangle to see immediately whether the bag fits perfectly.

Both closure variants are waterproof and designed for tough bikepacking use, but differ in their IP waterproof rating, handling, and access to contents. The zipper version allows particularly quick access, ideal if you frequently need tools or food on the go. The roll-top version offers a larger opening and makes loading and unloading easier, especially with bulky gear like tent poles or cookware.

The Frame-Pack sits firmly in the frame triangle thanks to its strong hook-and-loop fasteners and remains stable even on rough trails. The wide straps ensure a non-slip hold on different frame shapes. Even with heavy loads or vibrations, nothing wobbles and the bag stays perfectly in place.
