SALSA CYCLES EXP SERIES ANYTHING CRADLE | Modular Cradle for Increased Loading Flexibility
A bikepacking cradle that reduces stress around the handlebars and increases loading flexibility.
With traditional styles that attach dry bags directly to the handlebars, interference with cables and housings can often be a problem. The SALSA CYCLES EXP SERIES ANYTHING CRADLE is a modular loading system that creates space around the cockpit by holding luggage at an appropriate distance from the handlebars.
It is compatible with the dedicated EXP Series Dry Bag, as well as dry bags you already own. You can enjoy packing freely according to your purpose and travel style.
In addition, the "Ladder Lock" 3-slot strap weave structure provides strong retention while preventing luggage from shifting. It ensures stable loading on everything from paved roads to gravel.

This is especially recommended for those who have experienced cable interference or handling discomfort when using handlebar rolls. By offsetting luggage appropriately forward, the cockpit area becomes much neater than it appears.
Since it can utilize not only dedicated bags but also your existing dry bags, it's perfect for those who don't want to fix their loading style. It's an item that will satisfy both those new to bikepacking and experienced riders looking to rethink their loading system.
