Bikepacking bags in the test: Tailfin - indestructible and made for continuous use

Tailfin delivers the most expensive and heaviest set in the test - and still does a lot of things right. With a total volume of 35.1 litres, it is one of the most spacious in the comparison, and even when fully loaded, the bike remains stable. The workmanship is of the highest standard: the set is designed for continuous use and is simply indestructible. The fastening system is particularly clever: after a little more effort during initial assembly, the handlebar and rear bag can be quickly and easily removed and reattached for everyday use. If you want to save weight, you can switch to a carbon rack - this saves around 200 grams. The set price of 805 euros is the highest in the test - but if you want to invest in quality, you'll get a set for life. The set score is 1.4.
