SWIFT INDUSTRIES Catalyst Pack (ECOPAK) | A Compact Pack Perfect for Light Journeys

A 6L bag that embodies the appeal of the ZEITGEIST while offering a lighter ride.

Whether you're riding far or casually exploring your neighborhood, you want to carry your belongings, but don't need an oversized bag. The SWIFT INDUSTRIES Catalyst Pack is perfect for such occasions.

Inheriting the design philosophy of the brand's popular ZEITGEIST model, it has been re-engineered into a more compact size. It fits easily on narrow drop handlebars and smaller frames, making it an excellent match for road bikes and gravel bikes.

It features a 2-way design, usable as both a handlebar bag and a saddlebag. With a 6L capacity, it's easy to handle for day trips, bikepacking, and even everyday use.

Made from ECOPAK, which utilizes 100% recycled materials, it achieves a high level of lightness, durability, and waterproofing. Its design, characteristic of SWIFT INDUSTRIES, blends naturally with everything from classic randonneurs to modern gravel bikes.

If the ZEITGEIST is a bit too large, but a typical handlebar bag isn't enough, the Catalyst Pack is highly recommended.

Its size is truly exquisite, making it easy to secure tire clearance on road bikes and gravel bikes, and it has an appearance that pairs well with smaller frames. Yet, it has enough capacity to store rainwear, snacks, a camera, and more.

Personally, I think it pairs excellently with randonneurs. It doesn't detract from the classic aesthetic, yet provides the lightness and waterproofing of modern materials, making it a versatile bag for everything from regular touring to bikepacking.
