Why ride with Tailfin


When all my energy is going the pedals, I want to lean on product that simplifies efficiency. Tailfin check that box for me. I love the security of the items on my bike — there is no sway on the rear, no jostling of packs. Things simply stay where they are, right where you put them. Then there’s the added benefits of additional features like one-way air valves to roll-downs, and tons of adjustability for personal preferences. It allows me to focus on the ride.
