Bike Size Charts

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!

  • Unlike some competitors' bags, the Hoja doesn't come with spacers to prevent frame rubbing.

Bottom line

The Fjällräven Hoja Handlebar Pocket is a 1.5L bar bag. The few who test it determine it's well-made and easy to install, although none attest to its long-term durability. The Hoja fits aero handlebars and remains secure over rough terrain. Unfortunately, the material is prone to water ingress, and it doesn't have spacers to prevent frame rubbing. Overall, the Fjällräven Hoja Handlebar Pocket is considered a decent minimalist choice if high water resistance and avoiding frame rub aren't priorities.
