PRO Performance Saddlebag S - PRBA0071

The PRO Performance Saddlebag range stands out for its minimalist design, tailored for road cycling, light gravel riding and XC mountain biking. The real challenge lies in choosing the right volume for your riding style: aerodynamics, carrying capacity, stability under the saddle and compatibility with modern kit (CO₂ cartridges, TPU inner tubes, mini-pumps, multi-tools). All models feature a 420D nylon construction with reinforced fastenings, universal Velcro fastenings and reflective inserts.

When you’re heading out on the road for a few hours, you’ll need to take the necessary tools with you to deal with a puncture, for example. To carry a tyre lever, a spare inner tube and a multi-tool, a saddle bag becomes an essential item. This PRO Performance Saddlebag S, with a capacity of 400ml, allows you to store a road inner tube along with essential tools in a single compartment.

Compact in design, it is made from robust 420D nylon. Its zip fastening is sturdy and waterproof, whilst the Velcro straps on the sides allow you to secure your load. On the back, the PRO logo is reflective, designed to make you more visible to other road users in bad weather.

The 0.4L size is clearly aimed at road cyclists looking for a discreet and lightweight setup. It generally allows you to carry a TPU inner tube, a mini tool and two tyre levers. It’s the best choice for maintaining the bike’s clean lines and minimising unwanted movement.

The 0.6L version is the most balanced in the range. It offers enough space for a complete repair kit without causing any pendulum-like movement beneath the saddle. Several specialist tests highlight its good stability and compact design, which is well-suited to modern bikes.

The 1L version is ideal for gravel riding, long-distance cyclosportives or winter riding. You can add nutrition, arm warmers or a compact mini-pump without overloading it. It’s often the best compromise for cyclists who want to avoid over-filled jersey pockets.

The 2L / XL version is better suited to light bikepacking or long self-supported rides. It easily accommodates a compact waterproof jacket, a large MTB inner tube or additional kit. However, it becomes more noticeable and may lose stability if overloaded.

Which size should you choose based on your riding style?

• Performance road cycling / short cyclosportives → 0.4L
• Versatile road cycling / daily training → 0.6L
• Sporty gravel / long rides → 1L
• Ultra-distance / light bikepacking → 2L

The 0.6L model remains, on the whole, the best choice for the majority of cyclists: compact enough to be unobtrusive, yet spacious enough to carry a proper modern emergency kit. Cyclists focused purely on performance will, however, prefer the 0.4L version to keep their bike looking sleek and more aerodynamic.
