Best Fuel-Pack Bikepacking

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The practical magnetic lid closure on the Fuel Pack makes opening the top tube bag child’s play and allows you easy access to your energy supply during the ride.

Ortlieb says: 

Keep your snacks, smartphone or other small equipment items within easy reach at all times during your ride. The practical magnetic lid closure makes child’s play of opening and closing the Fuel Pack with one hand. Inside, the PVC-free bag made of PU-coated nylon fabric features an outer mesh pocket which is easily accessible due to the reinforced bag material. The integrated cable outlet allows you to charge a device on the handlebars during the ride. Any threaded holes already present in the top tube can also be used to fasten the compact bag with screws. In the absence of threads, you can also attach your Fuel Pack flexibly using perforated rubber straps.

If you don’t need the perforated straps to attach the Fuel Pack, you can use them for other purposes such as mounting an additional bottle holder on the down tube. If the threaded holes are not in the right place, the optionally available Offset-Plate allows you to mount the Fuel-Pack in a different position.

Our Verdict

Ortlieb’s Bike Gear is second-to-none in terms of build-quality and functionality, the Fuel Pack is no different in these regards.
