Fits to my Salsa Anything Cradle. Very well designed and produced. Like it.

Top Tube Bag Zip - 1.1l

Tailfins Produkte sind im Detail durchdacht, haben eine hohe Funktionalität und top Qualität, aber auch einen ambitionierten Preis. Ich habe jetzt schon eine ganze Reihe von Tailfin Produkten und bin mit allen sehr zufrieden.

These are perfect for strapping down a pair of shoes. My bedrock clogs stayed put on a road touring and rugged MTB weekend bikepacking trip

Top quality product with adaptability and much better than competitors products or using hose clamps.

Single thru axle

Excellente conception, la sacoche tient très bien en place sur le top tube très fin de mon vélo, de plus elle est facile à installer/désinstaller. Je ne l'ai pas encore suffisamment utilisé en condition pluvieuse pour être catégorique mais l'étanchéité à l'air bonne et l'aspect de manière générale est très qualitatif.
J'avais d'abord choisi une 1.1L qui présentait plus d'espace de rangement mais dont la longueur me gênait à l'arrêt, je me retrouvais assis sur la sacoche avec le bec de selle en appui dans le dos.
Content de mon choix au final, j'envisage d'acheter maintenant une sacoche de cadre de la même marque pour compléter l'ensemble.
Le seul petit point négatif pour moi et que lorsque je me mets en danseuse et que je balance un peu le vélo de gauche à droite, je sens légèrement la sacoche frotter à l'intérieur des cuisses mais je pense que ce serait le cas aussi avec n'importe quelle autre sacoche top tube.

I bought the Tailfin CargoPack Aluminium with panniers and mounted it on my Santa Cruz Stigmata 2024. Since this bike doesn’t come with the standard SRAM UDH hanger, I needed a different derailleur hanger to make it fit, but the installation was still very straightforward.

The Tailfin website was very clear during the purchase process. When I entered my bike model, the site suggested contacting Tailfin Support for further assistance. They got back to me quickly and explained exactly what I needed to order. The support was super friendly and helpful, and I felt fully informed afterwards. My only note is that the Stigmata 2024 model isn’t listed on the support website yet. I’m sure they’ll update that soon. Otherwise, I could have easily found out which parts to order myself without needing assistance from the support team.

Once I had all the parts, installation was quick and easy, and I absolutely love the CargoPack! Compared to my previous saddle pack, the CargoPack stays firmly on the bike and it’s much easier to pack or unpack — I no longer need to remove it from the frame just to access my gear.

The mesh side pockets turned out to be very useful. I usually put my spare shoes in there. I haven’t used the panniers yet because on my last bikepacking trip from France to Spain this autumn, the CargoPack alone offered more than enough space for all my gear. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with my tent setup and using the panniers as well.

All in all, it’s a really great and practical product, easy to mount and remove, super stable, and very well designed for real bikepacking adventures.

I have absolutely loved my new bag after 2 months of use. The organization of the bag is on point (with accessory kit) and so convenient. I love being able to reach in without looking and find what I want. I have this bag on my bike packing bike, and am asking Santa for one for my Mtn bike this year.

I’ve been buying bike bags for years, so I’ve encountered lots of bags that are failures in one way or another. I bought a Tailfin Half Frame bag early this year and was immediately impressed. Tailfin bags mount securely to the bike and stay exactly where they were put. Zippers work easily; bags are truly waterproof; bag size and pocket layout are nicely thought out - and the online tool to show exactly how a bag will fit to your frame works extremely well. I added a top tube bag that attaches with the same straps. All is well, and I now have Tailfin bags on both my road bike and gravel bike. Great products. Thanks.

Perfect. Classy, sleek, sturdy. No interference with rude and easy access on the go. Quality and style.

Hello, great product, a little expensive. My only complaint is that the piece is too short, which makes it difficult to fit comfortably in the bag. Is it possible to send a longer one so I can resend mine? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Dimitri Vanhalwyn

Carbon AeroPack with mounts (No Bag)

It's a best rear beg I have ever owned.

Tip top mais chers….

I’ve been using this rack on my gravel bike with adapters for my Vaude panniers, and I’m honestly kicking myself for not getting it sooner. It makes commuting so much more practical and comfortable compared to riding with a backpack. The bike feels a bit heavier in the rear, but it’s a small trade-off for the balance and convenience—especially with panniers on both sides. Highly recommend!

Although a bit pricy, the bag is extremely well made and looks like it is built to last. It fits as well as claimed and I am more than happy with the bag.

Bien. Mais attention si l'on possède une tige de selle suspendu ou télescopique : moins charger le côté selle. Le bagage est assez souple pour ça.

This pack has now been through over 1000 km and kept out the mud, rain and dust effectively. Because of how I’ve packed the tube, and my choice of contents, the top part has a tendency to fall forward and touch the front tyre. This was rectified with a third strap holding the top enclosure to the frame. No big deal as the contents (tools, hand pump etc) are only required in a calamity.

Great little cages, that allow me to easily attach smaller items like tool pouch or fuel bottle with just a strap.

Threads fit perfectly with the bike frame; a minor thing being the included spacers seemed to get to an almost, but not exactly, even length on both sides when tightened. Note that did not affect any pannier usage hence still 5 stars.

Great for storing small items you don't want to get wet. Can get in the way when cycling in upright position, otherwise sturdy construction and easier access than a zipper.

I tested the Tailfin 16L Panniers on an 8-day gravel tour through the Sierra Nevada, and they fully deserve top marks. Mounting them on my Gravelbike was quick and easy, and they came off just as fast.
They handled rough terrain and long days flawlessly — functional, durable, and effortless to open and close. Most importantly, they sit perfectly and securely on the rack. Outstanding performance all around.

Used this bag for a month of bikepacking (off-road & dusty conditions). Nothing to say except a solid handlebar bag. The handlebar fixation is well thought, and doesn't rotate, even on rough terrain. Tried a few other bags, and this one fits even on my small drop handlebar with a narrow handlebar to tire vertical clearance.
The bag still seems resistant, not a scratch after those 4 weeks of heavy use, and the top-pockets reachable when riding are a very nice addition.
Being able to quickly attach/detach the bag is nice to load/unload its content, and the top-strap is a very good addition to quickly secure a jacket or something while riding.
Only very minor nits are: the air valve used to allow air to exit while closing the bag has a closing mechanism a bit sensitive to sand, and the top zip pocket is a bit deep, meaning coins you left in there are hard to reach when the bag is full 🙃
But those are very minor nits on a exceptional bag I'm happy to keep using!

Just completed a 260-mile, 6-day tour of the Hudson Valley that's started in Battery Park Manhattan and ended at Saratoga Springs, NY, along the Empire State Trail. The Tailfin system comprises of the aluminum arch and rack and two 22L panniers performed exceptionally. The tour was mostly paved trail riding, some road surfaces, and a bit of crushed gravel. Near the end of the tour we encountered a full day of Nor'Easter rain. Everything in my Tailfin panniers remained dry and was ready to wear after removing my wet weather gear. Dry clothes are a morale booster after a day of slogging it out for 50+ miles in the rain and Tailfin delivered. Much appreciated!
