The Pedaled label was founded in Tokyo and specialises in functional clothing for cyclists. In addition to various clothing collections, the Odyssey line also includes sophisticated bike bags for adventurers.
Handlebar bag Pedaled Odyssey Tendril
BIKE has already tested the Tendril handlebar bag with a maximum volume of 10 litres. The robust roll offers enough space for a change of clothes or a lightweight sleeping bag and a sleeping pad. Thanks to the waterproof material and taped seams, everything stays permanently dry. Thanks to the spacers on the handlebar attachment, it is still possible to use the upper handlebar, which makes perfect sense with narrow handlebars or racing bars. Additional equipment such as tent poles can be securely attached to the attached loops. Fastening and tensioning the straps works reliably, but is a little fiddly.
The key data:
- 138 Euro
- 236 grammes
- 10 litre maximum capacity
+ Robust, waterproof, additional loops for fastening
- Expensive
Saddlebag Pedaled Odyssey Cluster
With a maximum length of 49 centimetres, the Cluster offers up to 13 litres of storage space and can therefore easily accommodate bulky items such as sleeping bags and sleeping mats. Thanks to the rubberised double straps on the seat post, the bag sits very firmly and can also be mounted far below the saddle for a lower centre of gravity. This means that the bike remains easier to ride even when pedalling out of the saddle and does not tip over as much. The underside of the bag has a reinforced fabric with a coating that keeps out dirt and water. Even tyre contact should not harm the bag. The tensioning straps allow the bag to be fixed in place very well, even with different fillings.
The key data:
- 165 Euro
- 367 grammes
- 13 litre maximum capacity
- 49 centimetres long
+ Stable fit, variable volume, reflective details
- Only waterproof, not waterproof
