COG GOOD CREW CAB | A Bag with an Extendable Cargo Bed that Transforms to Fit Your Luggage
Compact for everyday use. Freely load it like a cargo bed for trips.
Wouldn't it be great if you could carry just a little more when your luggage increases? The COG GOOD CREW CAB was born from this common cyclist's dilemma.
Its name comes from the "CREW CAB" of a pickup truck. Applying the idea of extending a cargo bed to a handlebar bag, it features a unique structure that allows it to be used as a regular storage space, and when needed, the CAB section can be expanded to secure additional items.
For everyday rides, it functions as a compact front bag, while for touring and bikepacking, it securely holds additional gear like sleeping mats, rainwear, and food. Its great appeal lies in its flexibility to adapt to varying luggage amounts.
It's available in two material options: standard CORDURA® 500D and TECHNOFORCE® STEEL, which uses the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber "IZANAS®". You can choose according to your needs and preferences.

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
