Topo Designs Bike Bag
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
Topo Designs offers its Bike Bag handlebar bag in two sizes: the standard 3L and the 1.5L Bike Bag Mini. It's praised for its high-quality construction and easy attachment. The 3L version is tested on drop bars as narrow as 40cm. While reportedly secure over bumpy terrain, testers dislike the cheap Velcro straps, with one saying they may rub frame paint. There are no long-term reviews or tests of the bag's water resistance. Overall, the Topo Designs Bike Bag is deemed a practical handlebar bag, but the Mini's inability to fit a large phone reduces its usefulness.Expert Reviews
