We recently tested bikepacking bags. The test winner was Cyclite. Now the young brand from Chiemsee is launching a limited edition in red.

Until now, Cyclite's lightweight bikepacking bags have been available in two colours: black and white. If you follow the news about the lightweight construction specialist, you may have already seen in the Eurobike coverage that there will be a special edition. And *drum roll* now it's here. The bags are now available in a fiery red colour.

Review: The test summary in brief

The tested set consisted of four bags, which together cost 525 euros, allow a packing volume of 29.8 litres and weigh just 900 grams.

The German manufacturer's claim is lightweight construction. The set weight of 900 grams for 30 litres of storage space does full justice to this. Many good and well thought-out details.

Cyclite Red Edition

With the Red Edition, Cyclite is launching an exclusive colour series on the market and is thus providing new impetus in a market that has so far been dominated by muted colours, explains Max Barnsteiner, CEO of Cyclite, in the press release.

As usual, the special edition bags are 100% weatherproof, well thought-out and lightweight. As nothing about the bags has changed apart from the colour, you can confidently say our test can be consulted. Incidentally, the Cyclite Top Tube Bag scored twice, once in the set test and additionally in a second test in which we Top tube bags tested for bolting to the top tube have. These bikepacking bags are available in the Red Edition:

Sandra Schuberth, sometimes an after-work ride, sometimes a training ride, sometimes an unsupported bikepacking challenge. The main thing is her and her gravel bike - away from the traffic. Seven Serpents, Badlands or Bright Midnight: she has finished challenging bikepacking races. Gravel and bikepacking are her favourite subjects, and her demands on equipment are high. What she rides, uses and recommends has to stand the test of time: not in marketing, but in real life.
