The new Race Top Tube Bag Short is the third in Restrap's Race series of top tube bags. It is also the smallest. The bag can either be attached to the top tube via screw-on points or fastened with a strap. Neither its design nor its function differs from its larger siblings. The capacity is naturally smaller. 1.2 litres fit into the small top tube bag. The standard version holds 1.5 litres and the largest version, with a length of 49 centimetres, holds a full two litres.
The Race Top Tube Bag Short is designed with ultra-endurance races and brevets in mind. Both the inner and outer material are waterproof, plus a YKK Aquaguard zip. This keeps rain and splash water out. Reflective details increase visibility and safety when riding at night and in poor visibility conditions.
A plastic structure is incorporated into the bag to keep it in shape. The bag remains tilt-resistant thanks to a special attachment under the stem together with the attachment of choice on the top tube. Another practical feature is the flexible mesh pocket on the side, which creates additional storage space for snacks, packaging and essentials. The inner compartment is padded with foam, which prevents rattling while riding and gives the bag additional structure. A strap inside the bag helps to organise its contents.
