COG GOOD CREW CAB 2.0 KONBU｜An Expandable Handlebar Bag That Makes Carrying Gear More Enjoyable
Made from KONBU®, a distinctive high-performance fabric with a crisp, dry texture and excellent shape retention. This expandable handlebar bag is equally suited to everyday city rides and fully loaded bikepacking trips.
From daily errands and long-distance touring to overnight bike camping, the GOOD CREW CAB 2.0 is one of COG’s most popular models, offering flexible carrying capacity to match the amount of gear and the way you ride.
The “CREW CAB” concept draws inspiration from the casual freedom of loading gear into the bed of an American pickup truck, reimagined here as a bicycle bag. It invites you to throw in what you need and simply head out for the ride.
This model is made from KONBU®, a high-performance fabric developed by Komatsu Matere. Named after the Japanese word for kelp, the material is known for its uniquely dry, tightly woven feel. Lightweight yet remarkably firm, it is often described as a “standing fabric” because of its ability to hold its shape.
Even when lightly loaded or empty, the bag retains a clean, structured silhouette. The fabric also produces rich, vivid colors, giving the bag a strong visual presence that adds character to the entire bike.
On the GOOD CREW CAB 2.0, the front pocket has been moved inside the main compartment, helping the bag maintain a stable and well-balanced shape when loaded. Six webbing straps provide secure attachment points for larger items such as sleeping bags, mats, and other bulky gear.
From urban commuting to loaded gravel rides and bike camping, this handlebar bag makes carrying gear feel easier, more flexible, and more enjoyable.

The first thing that stands out about the KONBU model is the presence of the material itself. Its exceptionally firm structure helps the bag keep its shape even when empty, creating a clean and well-balanced look once mounted on the bike.
Its surface has a canvas-like appearance, yet the bag feels surprisingly light when picked up. The stiffness also prevents it from sagging under load, allowing packed items to sit securely and neatly in place.
It works beautifully on commuter bikes, while also feeling right at home on gravel rides and camping tours where carrying gear is part of the experience. This is a model we particularly recommend to riders who value not only function, but also the texture, character, and gradual aging of the material.
