Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels


I bike a lot. I have probably owned 6-7 carrier bags. This is simply the best one yet. Other bags had individual features not contained in the Topeak MTX, but overall, this one is the winner. It is deceptively large. I am always amazed at how much stuff I can get into this bag. The two side pockets are rigid, but hold a lot of odds and ends. The main compartment has a Velcro divider, should you choose to use it. I divide mine about 20%/80%, with the 20% being in the front. I put small items and heavy stuff in the front 20%, with the 80% available for snacks, an extra shirt, maps, etc. There is a small internal pocket on the zip-top for a billfold, etc. There is also an external net-pocket and a tie-down cord on the top of the bag.

The only features where I would score one of my other bags higher are 1) one of my bags had a "secret" pocket for money, etc. that the Topeak does not offer, and 2) the zippered expansion area on the Topeak is not as large as on a couple of my other bags.

Lastly, if you get the matching Topeak seat-post rack, this bags just slides on and locks into place. It's a great system.Get more detail about Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels.
