APIDURA Backcountry Saddle Pack | Off-Road Saddlebag Maximizing Limited Clearance
Compatible with dropper posts and full-suspension MTBs. A waterproof saddlebag designed for off-road riding.
For MTBs and bikes equipped with dropper posts, where clearance with the rear wheel is limited, it is often difficult to use conventional large saddlebags.
The APIDURA Backcountry Saddle Pack is a saddlebag developed to solve the unique challenges of such off-road bikes. Its low-profile and compact form reduces the risk of interference with the rear tire while securely storing necessary luggage.
The bag body uses APIDURA's unique Hexalon material. Lightweight and durable, its fully waterproof construction with RF welding reliably protects your belongings from rain and mud.
Furthermore, the anti-sway structure and 3-point attachment system suppress bag sway even on rough terrain. From day-long trail rides to lightly equipped bikepacking, it is packed with features for comfortable off-road enjoyment.

The Backcountry Saddle Pack is highly recommended for MTB users concerned about rear tire clearance.
Although it is more compact than typical large saddlebags, its good fit and excellent stability off-road are outstanding. Thanks to the air release valve, compression after packing is easy, and luggage is less likely to shift, which is another attractive feature.
For those who want to enjoy bikepacking with a full-suspension MTB or a dropper post-equipped bike, I believe this saddlebag is not just one option, but a "must-consider" choice.
