Designed for the demands of bikepacking and singletrack riding, Trail Panniers feature specific elements unique from off-the-shelf touring or commuting panniers.

Each single pannier has a maximum capacity of 8L, or 5.5L when the roll top is rolled down. At a total 16L per pair, it is the capacity of some of the large saddlebags on the market. 

Perfect for more storage in addition to a dry roll on top of the rack, or run them with a saddlebag. 

Features

Low profile: at only 9cm deep, the profile is a more aerodynamic design and allows your bike to fit through most square gates and narrow bridges.

Construction: with the exception of the Standard option, the other 3 styles available fully optimise the unique wrap-around front panel design. This omits a long length of seam that's usually found in ordinary pannier designs. Less seams = less water ingress.

Fits all racks: there are 5x velcro strap slots per bag for 40mm wide straps. Find the slots that avoids struts on your rack, or move the straps to the inner slots to fit small bikepacking racks.

Velcro straps: Velcro's sheer strength makes it more secure and impossible for bags to bounce off. The lack of hardware and mounting parts is a better safeguard against failure when riding in remote places.

Structure: supported by a polypropylene backing plate and an aluminium batten along the mounting rail to prevent the bag from curving when packed full. All straps in the back feed through slots in the plastic, which doesn't put strain on any stitching.

Pack it to the top: with the top velcro strip to seal the opening, it's possible but it's recommended you roll the top 3 times. This special velcro used does not catch onto clothes easily.

Usage & Care information

  • To install, make sure the rear velcro straps are in correct slots for your pannier rack rail. If you need to shift them, pull the strap out, undo the lower velcro and reach in under the plastic backing to feed the strap through the next slot. Make sure the lower camlock strap goes through the plastic.
  • You may need to shuffle the panniers further back depending on your geometry, pannier rack design or if you ride a small frame.

  • Do not throw into washing machine or dryer.
  • Scrub with a plastic bristle brush
  • If doing a thorough clean, use Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash and SolarProof.
  • Do no use detergents or softeners
