The Frame-Pack RC Toptube is the solution for everyone who likes to have access to their water bottles while also carrying gear inside the bike frame triangle. This waterproof frame bag with roll closure is also ideal for full suspension mountain bikes, where space inside the frame’s triangle is limited by the shocks. Part of ORTLIEB’s bikepacking series, this bag with roll closure meets the IP64 standard for waterproofness, meaning your gear is fully protected from an involuntary bath. The Frame-Pack RC Toptube enables heavy equipment such as tent poles, tools or food to be carried within the frame triangle, maintaining the bike’s low center of gravity. The customizable, sturdy and strong hook and loop fasteners enable simple and easy fastening, and an uncomplicated installation. The frame pack RC Toptube is made in Germany and PVC-free. Together with the other products from the ORTLIEB bikepacking series, the frame pack RC Toptube forms the ideal equipment for an overnighter, a self-supported race or your next big adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount the Frame-Pack on a carbon frame?

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.

How compatible is the Frame-Pack with different bicycle frames?

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.

Should I choose the roll-top or zipper version of the ORTLIEB Frame-Pack?

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.

How securely does the Frame-Pack sit on the bike during rides on rough terrain?

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.

Where is the Frame-Pack RC Toptube manufactured?

The Frame-Pack RC Toptube is manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, standing for genuine “Made in Germany” quality. Every production step, from material cutting to final inspection, takes place in our own facilities. Materials are sourced locally, regionally, or internationally according to strict requirements.
