A unique carrying style that sways less than large saddlebags

Combines the lightness of bikepacking with the stability of a rack.

While the convenience of large saddlebags is appealing, when the amount of luggage increases, swaying and wobbling can be a concern.

The BINDLE RACK, with its lightweight rack structure that attaches to the seatpost, significantly reduces this problem. It prevents luggage from flailing around even when dancing, providing a stable riding feel.

It's the perfect item for those who want to carry light loads but also desire carrying stability.

Capacity is flexible depending on the dry bag. Reusability is also a charm.

Adjustable capacity without buying extra bags

Since the BINDLE RACK is a “rack,” the key is that you can change the size of the dry bag to suit the luggage you're carrying.

Whether you want to ride light with a small capacity or carry camping gear with a larger bag, it can be flexibly adapted to your needs.

Another unique pleasure of this rack is being able to experiment by combining dry bags of different colors and materials.

Easy to carry large loads even with small frames

Recommended for those who had given up on large saddlebags.

For smaller riders or bikes with smaller frames, large saddlebags can often interfere with the tire.

With the BINDLE RACK, the rack itself supports the luggage, making it possible to carry relatively large loads stably even on smaller bikes.

It's a reliable companion for situations where luggage piles up, like winter camping, or for touring where you want to carry heavy items such as tents and sleeping bags.

A rack that adds peace of mind to carrying, not just lightness.

The PDW BINDLE RACK is an item that maintains the freedom of bikepacking while adding the peace of mind unique to a rack, such as "luggage that doesn't sway."

It's an especially good option for those who found large saddlebags difficult to use with smaller frames, or who want to enjoy touring with more stable carrying.

Its lightness, weighing only 370g, is also attractive. Be sure to check it out as a candidate for updating your camping ride or long touring gear this season.
