The RawLow Mountain Works Bike'n Hike Post Bag: A surprisingly useful and little-known saddle bag, perfect for MTB rides.
Did you know this bag is actually designed for MTB rides?
Use it as a saddlebag for the ride to the trail and on climbs, as your back tends to get sweaty.
It's more enjoyable to lower your saddle when descending a trail, right?
You can't lower the saddle with a saddlebag attached, so just carry it on your back.
If the included shoulder strap causes the bag to bounce around on descents, attaching the optional mountain kit will provide a more integrated feel.
This is truly the perfect saddlebag for MTB rides.
This saddlebag can be attached not only to mountain bikes, but also to road bikes and cross bikes.
It's convenient because it can be used as a backpack when exploring your destination on a cycling trip or walking through a station on a bike-packing trip.
So, what kind of saddlebag is it exactly? Let me explain the details.
The fabric comes in two types: X-Pac and denier nylon.
The X-Pac model is made from a fabric that combines strength, lightness, and waterproofness. You can use it with confidence on long rides where the weather is unpredictable.
The top section is a small storage compartment. It's large enough to hold a chain lock or a smartphone.
Inside the accessory compartment is a key holder. You can attach car keys or house keys.
RawLow's signature feature! The zipper pull is a whistle! This whistle zipper is included with most RawLow models.
Comes with a bungee cord for storing a windbreaker or sandals. This specification is convenient for bike touring and long-distance cycling.
This saddlebag is easy to install.
Simply secure the seat post under the saddle with Velcro and fasten the two straps to the saddle rails.
It can be attached to most bikes. The guideline for installation is a distance of about 22cm from the bottom of the saddle to the rear tire.
