The Merida Gravelcage can carry more than just bottles. The luggage holder can hold up to three kilos of luggage on the frame or fork.

The plastic holder from Merida is similar to the Topeak Versa Cage It can either be attached to the frame or fork using three eyelets or two thick cable ties (included). It is ideal for round or heavy items such as sleeping bags, tents or even large water bottles. The holder is stable enough for up to three kilos of luggage, which travels safely in the black waterproof 5-litre pack sack.

Optimal on the fork: Fully loaded, the pannier is too voluminous to leave enough space in the frame triangle for sporty gyrating legs. However, at five litres, it can also swallow larger items of luggage.

Sebastian Brust was born in 1979 and was originally socialised on his grandmother's folding bike, but has mainly been riding studded tyres since his fifth birthday. Loves all kinds of bikes - and merging with nature. Believes that disc brakes are much safer today than they were 15 years ago and thinks he has helped with his brake and pad tests. However, the trained vehicle technology engineer very much regrets that the bicycle industry is orientating itself on what he considers to be the wrong ideals of the car industry. At BIKE, he corrects, produces and organises digital content on the website.
