Frequently Asked Questions

What type of cycling bag is best for commuting?
For commuting, panniers or waterproof backpacks are the most popular choices. Panniers attach to a rear rack and keep weight off your back, while commuter backpacks offer flexibility if you're switching between cycling and walking. Both options work well 's changeable weather, especially when made from waterproof or water-resistant materials.
Are hydration backpacks worth it for mountain biking?
Absolutely. Hydration backpacks allow mountain bikers to drink on the move without stopping, which is essential on technical trails. They also provide storage for tools, snacks, and layers. For riders exploring trails, a well-fitted hydration pack improves both performance and safety by keeping you fuelled and focused throughout your ride.
What is bikepacking luggage and do I need it?
Bikepacking luggage includes frame bags, top-tube bags, saddlebags, and fork bags designed to attach directly to your bike's frame without a rack. They distribute weight evenly and keep your bike agile, making them ideal for gravel riding, off-road touring, and multi-day adventures. If you plan to explore our scenic routes overnight, bikepacking bags are a great investment.
How do I choose the right size saddlebag?
The right saddlebag size depends on what you need to carry. A small saddlebag suits road cyclists needing space for a spare tube, tyre levers, and a CO2 inflator. Medium bags can accommodate a mini pump and energy gels too. Larger saddlebags or seat packs are better for longer rides where extra clothing or tools are needed.
