Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag / 02 12.6L

The Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag 02 is the ultra-light handlebar bag designed for bikepackers who don’t want to compromise on either capacity or weight. With its 12.6 L capacity, it can be fitted alone on the handlebars or combined with the Handle Bar Aero Bag to maximise storage space. The roll-top closure on both sides simplifies packing, whilst the compression straps allow you to tighten the ends to clear access to the brake levers, even on the narrowest road drop bars.

The proprietary LiteGrid-RN200T3 material is at the heart of this bag’s performance: two layers of 200D recycled PA/N6.6 nylon woven in ripstop, double-sided TPU/PU3 coated and high-frequency welded. The result is a fabric that is ultra-lightweight, weather-resistant and easy to clean. The integrated compression valve allows you to compress the load to reduce bounce, and the 4-point attachment ensures a stable hold even on rough roads. A system of elastic straps on the front allows you to attach a rain jacket or any other quick-access gear.

Compatibility guide:

The Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag 02 is designed for drop bars (road/gravel handlebars). It must fit between the brake levers without hindering their use: the actual usable volume therefore depends on the space available between the levers. The distance between the top of the handlebar and the tyre must be at least 21 cm. Compatible with carbon handlebars.

For combined use, the bag can be paired with the Handle Bar Aero Bag 02 (stem-mounted) to increase the total handlebar carrying capacity.

FAQ

1. Is this bag compatible with my carbon handlebars?

Yes, the Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag 02 is explicitly compatible with carbon handlebars. The 4-point mounting system is designed not to damage the handlebars. The foam spacer provided also allows for optimal routing of the cables without constricting them.

2. What is the maximum width of the bag between the brake levers?

Cyclite does not specify a fixed maximum width: the bag must fit between your brake levers without hindering their operation. The actual usable volume therefore depends directly on the available space on your handlebars. The compression straps allow you to reduce the bag’s diameter at both ends to clear the levers.

3. Is the bag truly waterproof?

The Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag 02 is made from double-sided coated LiteGrid-RN200T3 fabric, welded using high-frequency technology, which gives it excellent weather resistance. It is not advertised as being completely waterproof when submerged, but effectively protects the contents from rain and splashes under normal riding conditions.

4. Can you easily access the contents whilst riding?

No, Cyclite points out that this bag is particularly suited to storing items you do not need to access quickly whilst out riding (tent, sleeping mat, warm clothing). For quick access whilst riding, opt for the Handle Bar Aero Bag or the Food Pouch from the Cyclite range.

5. How much does the bag weigh and what is its volume?

The Cyclite Handle Bar Roll Bag 02 weighs 284 g (bag only) and has a capacity of 12.6 L. The integrated compression valve allows you to reduce the volume when the bag is not fully loaded, which limits swaying and improves stability.
