From: £60.00

Handy storage for items needed on the go, in a place that’s instantly accessible.

Specially sculpted 3D welded shapes eliminate knee rub. Patented V-Mounts secure the pack to your frame without risk of damage and remove the need for a front stabilising strap.

Tailfin rack and top tube bag. Brilliant engineering

Not the cheapest but well worth the extra coin in my opinion. Well thought through products, clearly developed by people that have used them in the real world. I’ve used my rack/pack and top tube bag for many bike packing trips - they’re solid pieces of luggage and haven’t let me down. I love features like the side vent in the rack bag and the single hand opening magnetic mechanism on the top tube bag

Just a really well engineered product. Works perfectly!

I researched many different options for a top tube bag. Looked online, asked friends, reviewed specifications galore. It’s really hard to know what works for what purpose. I eventually got a strong recommendation from a riding friend that pushed me to look at the Tailfin Top Tube Flip. I love how the bag is designed, the closure and how it mounts cleanly to my titanium frame. Highly recommend this product.

Trust is all what you need

I just finished the Torino-Nice rally (just one friend and myself), using the Tailfin bags (aeropack, 2 minipanniers, tube bag). Terrible weather (cold, rain, snow, fog), and we still enjoyed every minute...as we could trust the great material. All our material stayed dry, remained well in place.... thanks a lot !

Yes, the V-Mounts can accommodate any standard 20mm width cargo style strap. However be aware that many cargo straps use a longer prong that could catch skin or clothing.

Absolutely. Even when pulled very tight the natural stretch of our Cargo Strap system exerts minimal force to the frame.

You should base your choice on which bike you are mainly going to use and also how much storage you would typically need. Our 1.1 Litre Top Tube Packs are designed to fit almost any style of bike so would be our recommendation to be used on multiple bikes.

Our Zip Top Tube Packs offer the narrowest profiles so are perfect for riders who typically suffer from knee rub from top tube packs. They also offer the most secure storage to carry valuables on rough surfaces. Our Flip Top packs allow for rapid access and great visibility of contents, perfect if you want constant access to food, phone or camera whilst on the move. Flip Tops also offer slightly better weather resistance if riding in constant storm conditions.

No! When attached correctly the soft rubber of the V-Mount grips the frame so well that there is zero likelihood of movement.

We were at pains to ensure that all sizes of Top Tube Pack can accommodate a standard iPhone or Android equivalent, even the smallest 0.8 Litre pack. If you have a larger (Plus) style phone you will need to look at the 1.1 Litre or 1.5 Litre Top Tube Packs.

Within reason you can carry any weight in a Top Tube Pack. The limit would be volume.

Although the packs have been shaped to fit perfectly on the top tube the V-Mount system will allow you to fit a Top Tube Pack anywhere (except forks). We would recommend this only for Zip opening packs as a Flip Top opening would not be as secure in a vertical orientation.

The straps supplied with the Top Tube Packs are low profile so shouldn’t interfere with standard frame pump fittings.

As with all Tailfin soft goods we recommend that they be washed with warm soapy water if you want to clean them (although we like a good dirt patina!)

No, the rubber V-Mount covers are pre-cut to allow screws to pass through neatly.
