Guide to Top Stay Length

Which Top Stay is right for me?

XS to L Bike Size (formerly ‘Long Top Stay’) – For riders who feel they will need a little extra space behind the saddle when using the Removable Top Bag:

  • for smaller bike frame sizes (<56cm)
  • less than 100mm visible seat post
  • if you have a dropper post fitted to your bike
  • saddle positioned far back on its rails
  • if you plan to carry items on top of the bag (e.g sleep mat strapped to the bag)

L+ Bike Size (formerly ‘Short Top Stay’) – Use the below as a general guide:

  • with L bike frame sizes (>56cm)
  • 100mm or more visible seat post
  • no dropper post fitted to your bike
  • riders who want maximum aero benefits
