Speed Hooks for instant access
The single biggest problem of a drybag/cargo cage system is creating secure, reliable and repeatable mounting. The Tailfin Cage Pack answers this with its Speed Hook system, designed to make loading as close to an engineered solution as possible. Banish second-guessing and create a reliable and repeatable mounting process whilst still facilitating rapid removal.
Remove in seconds thanks to the Speed Hook System
Banish second-guessing and create a reliable and repeatable mounting process whilst still facilitating rapid removal.
Shaped and sized for optimum load carrying
Three sizes ensure a Cage Pack will fit no matter where you want to place it on your bike. 1.7 Litre for in and around the frame, 3 Litre for under downtube, fork and rack, and 5 Litre for fork and rack mounting.
Maximum size, no crank rub
Narrow profile designed to fit within most common bottom bracket widths, reducing crank rub. The 1.7 Litre plays well with road and gravel geometry, whilst the 3 Litre is ideal for wider stance gravel and MTB BB widths.
Frameless Design
The Cage Pack is the first soft form luggage Tailfin has created. No frame = stowable when not in use. Simply rolled away when not needed and pull out when required. The soft design also aids compression of loads.

FAQs
A Cage Pack is designed to work in conjunction with a cargo cage and straps to carry additional luggage on your bike.
The 3L Cargo Pack will fit either the Small or Large Cage well. If you are interested in the 1.7 or 5L Packs then we recommend Small & Large Cages, respectively.
You can fit a Cage Pack anywhere you would normally use a cargo cage. This is normally on the side of the front fork, inside the frame, under the downtube or on the side of an Alloy Tailfin rear system.
Anything you would want to take on a bikepacking trip or even a day ride. Smaller volume packs are ideal for spares and a jacket, larger packs can be used for bulkier items such as stoves and sleep systems.
Yes! Although we recommend using Tailfin Cargo Cages for the best experience, all Cage Packs will work perfectly with any style of cargo cage.
Yes. All Cage Packs are guaranteed 100% waterproof when used correctly.
Straps are not automatically included in the price of a Cage Pack. You can however add sets of straps when ordering a Cage Pack.
We specifically designed three strap lengths to match the storage capacity of the three different volume Cage Packs. When you order a set of straps with a Cage Pack we will provide the most suitable length. Our pairings are: 1.7L Cage Pack + 40cm strap length. 3L Cage Pack + 50cm strap length. 5L Cage Pack + 65cm strap length.
Yes. We currently sell 40, 50 and 65cm standard width Cargo Straps as well as 30cm narrow width (for Mini Cage)
The spacing of the Speed Hook system on the Cage Pack is designed to work mainly with Small and Large Cargo Cages. We would recommend using the Large Cargo Cage for the large volume Cage Packs.
Yes. The open style of the Speed Hook system allows it to be used with any flat cargo strap, even wide versions.
The Cage Packs are designed to be mounted to a cargo cage style mount and cannot be mounted safely without this style of cage.

I bought the alloy rack with pannier mounts, as well as 2 x 10litre panniers. I couldn’t be happier. I already had the rack bag. The whole set up is incredibly secure, waterproof and voluminous. Great kit.
I recently completed a 7-day 400-mile bikepacking trip through Wyoming and carried much of my stuff in a Tailfin rack top bag atop an alloy rack along with a pair of 10L panniers. All products were rock solid over long days of bumpy terrain and totally exceeded my expectations for fit, functionality, and performance. Also exceeding my expectations was Tailfin's outstanding customer service - this included assorted installation questions about the thru-axle as well as getting the panniers to me amazingly quickly. I definitely recommend the company and the products! Thanks so much!
