Here's a waterproof bikepacking bag for your forks with a 5l capacity that will safely transport all your adventure essentials.

The Trailmulti is a waterproof roll-top bag that attached to your fork by three robust straps, including one at the bottom, to keep the bag firmly in place while riding. Measuring 30 x 15 x 9 cm in size and constructed from eco-friendly materials that don't include the use of fluorocarbons (PFC).

Suitable for forks with a circumference of 9.5cm or wider, the Trailmulti fork bag is available in two colours and accommodates a load weight of up to 2Kg. However, due to the amount of force needed to attach the straps to the fork, VAUDE doesn't recommend using the Trailmulti on carbon forks.

VAUDE Trailsaddle
