Restrap is expanding its bikepacking range with a new, practical addition - the Restrap down tube bag. With a capacity of 1.2 litres, this bag offers additional storage space and is attached to the bike with a Velcro fastener without tools.

Restrap Downtube Bag: (storage) space miracle

The waterproof properties of the Restrap Downtube Bag are designed to keep the contents dry even in bad weather. This bag utilises the otherwise unused space on the down tube of the bike and is therefore ideal for riders who want to take more things with them on tour or smaller bikes with limited storage space.

The bag blends subtly into the overall look. It is also waterproof, so the contents will definitely stay dry.Photo: RestrapThe bag blends subtly into the overall look. It is also waterproof, so the contents will definitely stay dry.


Restrap: easy attachment and use

An integrated Velcro strap ensures that the bag sits firmly on the down tube of the bike and minimises rattling while riding. A sewn-in pad prevents the bag from slipping. The screwless attachment also makes it possible to quickly switch the bag from one bike to another - making it suitable for tools and spare parts, for example.

Whether on mountain bikes without integrated storage space or as an additional bikepacking option - the Restrap down tube bag keeps the weight low and is positioned centrally on the bike. With this new addition, Restrap offers a practical solution for all cyclists who need more storage space or simply want to utilise the available space more efficiently.
