CYCLITE Top Tube Bag Nano 01 top tube bag

The Top Tube Bag Nano 01 is Cyclite's smallest top tube bag, made for fast rides and races, on the road or on gravel. 0.6 L, enough to keep bars and gels within reach when your jersey pockets are already full.

It opens with a central zip, so you can grab a gel without looking. It doesn't strap on: a neodymium magnet clips it onto the Nano Universal Mount, held on the tube by O-rings, and it comes off in a few seconds. Slim and low, it stays clear of your knees.

That leaves the question of the air. Cyclite measured its complete Nano series, three bags for 2.4 L, on a standardised outdoor course. The difference from the bike without bags stayed within the measurement's margin of error. If the frame has threaded bosses, the Nano Bolt Mount fixes it directly onto the top tube. The zip resists showers, not hours of downpour.

Cyclite cut it from the same welded fabric as its larger bags and quotes 68 g. Those who race and want their food on the frame rather than on their back will find it at MAAKE.
