One bag for daily use and camping. A handlebar bag with a variable structure that expands your packing freedom.

The "COG GOOD CREW CAB" effortlessly combines camping rides, which require carrying a lot of gear, with everyday rides where you want to keep things light.

Normally used as a compact handlebar bag, it can "gaba-tto" (suddenly) open up to expand its carrying capacity when needed. What seems like a gimmick is actually a highly refined product that you won't want to let go of once you use it.

From everyday essentials to bulky outdoor gear, this flexible bag can handle it all. By changing its shape to suit your needs, it expands the possibilities of your rides.

A "gaba-tto" (suddenly) opening, luggage rack-like expandable structure

A bag normally, a cargo space when needed

The biggest feature of the GOOD CREW CAB is its variable structure, where the back opens wide like a "luggage rack."

Items that are difficult to fit in a regular handlebar bag, such as tents, sleeping bags, down jackets, and folding chairs, can be securely fastened with the webbing straps.

The interesting thing about this bag is that it's not just an idea; it's designed to be genuinely useful for actual camping rides.

When folded, it's a perfect 2.8L for everyday use.

Blends naturally into everyday rides, not just camping.

When the expandable section is folded, it becomes a sleek handlebar bag. With a capacity of approximately 2.8L, it's the perfect size for carrying essentials like tools, tubes, air gauges, and bike bags.

It also has internal pockets for organizing small items, making it easy to use for city rides and touring.

This bag is often appreciated in daily life, for instance, when you need to temporarily stash a jacket you've taken off in winter.

COG's signature freedom to choose by material and color

Not just practical, but also with a playful spirit.

The classic CORDURA® 500D is an easy-to-use material with an excellent balance of durability and price. The Splatter Paint version features a pop design with patterned straps, significantly changing the overall vibe of your bike.

The TECHNOFORCE® STEEL model prioritizes lightness and strength. Its appeal also lies in how it develops a unique texture with use.

While meticulously crafted, it still maintains a relaxed feel. This balance is what makes the COG GOOD CREW CAB so characteristic.

A level of perfection that reimagines cargo and reveals itself through use.

Expand it to carry outdoor gear, or fold it for everyday use. This wide range of flexibility is the essence of the GOOD CREW CAB. The key is that it's not just an idea; it's meticulously crafted for actual usability.

By adapting to the amount and purpose of your luggage, the bag naturally expands your riding freedom. This handlebar bag is perfect for those who seamlessly transition between everyday life and extraordinary adventures.
