Conclusion
Acid delivers a lot of bag for the money. The set of four saddle, frame, top tube and handlebar bags has an impressive total volume of 33.7 litres - a top value in the comparison test. A practical detail: the saddle and handlebar bag can be removed from the holster thanks to the roll closure, which significantly reduces loading times. The set price of 285 euros is fair. The only noticeable downer: with a total weight of just under two kilograms, the set is one of the heavier ones in the test. The Set grade is 1.5.
