Apidura Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack 1L
The Apidura Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack 1L is a compact, fully waterproof bikepacking bag designed for bikes with top tube mounting bolts. Providing easy access to snacks, tools and small essentials while riding, it’s a practical storage solution for everyday cycling, gravel adventures and longer bikepacking trips. Its streamlined shape sits neatly along the top tube, with a tapered profile designed to minimise knee contact while pedalling.
Constructed from Apidura’s durable Expedition Grade three-layer fabric with RF-welded seams, the pack keeps its contents protected in wet conditions. Tool-free mounting bolts and an additional soft-touch Velcro strap provide secure attachment, while adjustable mounting positions, a waterproof zip and integrated cable port make it easy to use across different bikes and riding setups.

Waterproof Protection for Bikepacking
Apidura’s Expedition Grade fabric combines a waterproof outer construction with a durable cross-woven core. RF-welded seams create a watertight structure without relying on conventional stitching, while the waterproof zip helps protect the contents from rain and road spray. This makes the pack well suited to year-round riding and unpredictable weather.
Secure Tool-Free Bolt-On Mounting
Two tool-free bolts attach directly to compatible top tube mounting points, with a soft-touch Velcro strap securing the front of the pack around the steerer. Multiple bolt positions allow the bag to be positioned to suit different frames and rider preferences. The bolt-on design provides a secure attachment without needing conventional straps around the top tube.
Easy Access Storage While Riding
The 1 litre main compartment provides convenient storage for energy bars, snacks, keys and other small riding essentials. A waterproof zip allows one-handed access, while the wipe-clean interior makes it easier to deal with crumbs and food residue after a ride. An integrated cable port also allows a charging cable to pass through the bag when carrying compatible electronic devices.
Streamlined Shape and Knee Clearance
The pack’s tapered profile is designed to maximise knee clearance and reduce contact with the rider while pedalling. An integrated HDPE structure helps the bag retain its shape, while reflective graphics provide additional visibility in low-light conditions.
Care and Maintenance
Hand wash using dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge, then leave to dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean and lubricate the waterproof zip regularly with silicone or petroleum-based grease to help maintain smooth operation and performance.
Who It’s For
The Apidura Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack 1L is ideal for gravel cyclists, bikepackers, endurance riders and commuters who want waterproof storage within easy reach. It’s designed specifically for bikes with compatible top tube mounting bosses, making it a practical choice for riders who prefer a secure bolt-on bag rather than a conventional strap-mounted alternative.
