OCEAN AIR CYCLES × NITTO erlen saddle bag support｜A new concept supporter that beautifully and stably supports saddle bags
A supporter that not only holds your bag, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of your bicycle.
The "erlen saddle bag support" was born from a collaboration between OCEAN AIR CYCLES, based in Ventura, California, and Japan's renowned NITTO.
While most conventional saddle bag supporters attach to the seat post or seat tube, the ERLEN employs a unique structure that attaches directly to the saddle rails. This provides a smart attachment that suppresses bag sway without compromising the bike's original beautiful silhouette.
Manufactured by NITTO, its high-precision finish using stainless steel ensures excellent durability, allowing for reliable use during long-distance touring and bikepacking.
It is also perfectly compatible with large saddle bags such as the SWIFT INDUSTRIES ZEITGEST. This exquisite product, rich in functional beauty, makes the time spent riding with your luggage more comfortable.

When using large saddle bags, bag sway and interference with the tires are often a concern. This ERLEN solves those problems very elegantly.
What I particularly like is not just its holding power, but also its aesthetic appeal. Compared to typical bag supporters, its presence is more subtle, maintaining the silhouette of touring bikes, randonneurs, and bikepacking bikes.
