Bottom line

deuter's Cabezon SB 16 is a saddle bag that supports up to 11lb. Experts praise the bag's overall construction quality, easy installation, and quick-release harness. Its white interior, wide opening, and air purge valve make packing a breeze. In testing, it proves reliable in heavy rain and remains stable over rough terrain with minimal sway. Unfortunately, the bag fits loosely in the harness when partially packed, and some owners report excessive sagging when packed fully. Some weight weenies might consider the lighter 16.5L ORTLIEB, but overall, experts consider deuter's Cabezon SB 16 a standout choice.

We also found the fixation of the saddlebag to be particularly pleasant, because even when pedaling out of the saddle, it only moves minimally and hardly bothers you as long as you don’t load it too heavily.

The “Seatbag” pack must also be packed tightly and pushed all the way into the mount; otherwise, the system loses stability, sags, and rubs against the rear wheel.
