Altura Racing Frame Pack 4L

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Apidura Racing Frame Pack 4 litre is part of Apidura’s ultralight racing range of products. It is waterproof and durable.

Apidura says: 

A lightweight frame bag, optimised for the rigours of ultra-distance competition and rides that push limits.

Designed for the needs of ultra-distance cycling competition and audax, the Racing Frame Pack utilises the area inside a bike’s main triangle, creating a lower centre of gravity and enabling more neutral handling. This makes it useful for storing heavier, bulkier items, as well as items that need to be accessed on the go.

The waterproof bike frame bag is constructed from a lightweight laminate created specifically for Apidura, and has been shaped to provide a universal fit, for use with any frame. The three velcro straps are lightweight, easy to use, and can be set in multiple positions for enhanced compatibility with top tube bags.

An integrated support structure adds stiffness and allows the frame bag to be exceptionally minimal and lightweight, and a flexible pocket divider securely holds contents in place. For added convenience, a protected cable port enables charging of devices on the go.

Our Verdict

Apidura Racing Frame Pack 4 litre is part of Apidura’s ultralight racing range of products. It is made from waterproof and durable material. This is the larger of the 2 packs as there is a shorter 2.4 litre version too. It consists of 2 zipped pockets, one being a slim pocket sleeve ideal for small items and the other side accesses a larger pocket. Both pockets are covered with a waterproof flap and have waterproof zips with large zip pulls (great for using on the move with gloves on). The pack is easy to attach to the top tube with velcro and the down tube which uses adjustable webbing making it versatile for different sized frames.
