Trunk bags mount on top of a bicycle rear rack and are designed for items you want to reach quickly on the road. Unlike side panniers, they sit centrally above the rear wheel.
What is a trunk bag good for?
It works well for commuting, everyday rides or day tours when tools, a jacket, food or smaller purchases should stay easy to access. Usable capacity depends heavily on the shape and mounting system.
Which mounting system fits?
Before buying, make sure the mounting system matches your existing rack. Weather protection, opening style, carry handle and stability when fully loaded are also important.
Trunk bag or pannier?
Trunk bags give quick top access and keep the setup compact. Side panniers are usually better when you need much more volume or want the load positioned lower.
