Revelate Nano Panniers $250

When you need the cargo capacity that a rack provides, but need something that won’t get in your way when the going gets rowdy, Nano Panniers are the ticket. At only 4″ wide the load stays tight to the bike on singletrack and will not get in your way on those nasty hike-a-bikes. An external compression system keeps the bag snug at various load levels.

The devil is in the details on our rack attachment system. Although simple in concept, the tight spacing between the aluminum loop and strap prevents slop at the pannier rails. A bomber Voile nano strap with metal hardware provides tension at the bottom and gives versatility in mounting.

Fiberglass stiffened high density foam frame sheet gives the bag internal structure and works with the external compression system to transfer load to the rack. Made with 200 denier UHMWPE / Polyester woven laminated fabric, the Nanos have a minimum of seams for durability and water resistance, plus double taped lower seams.

Think of these bags as frame bag supplements that stay on your bike; designed to carry dense and heavy stuff like food, water, and fuel with a low profile form. With a bikepacking mindset you still put your bulky, high water sensitive items like clothing, sleeping and shelter gear in a waterproof handle bar setup, seat pack, or on top of the rack deck.

Note: These panniers are not compatieble with “T” style racks. They lack the load capacity and means for a lower attachment.

Weight: Pair: 18 oz / 510 gm

Volume: 7-11 L Each side; 420-680 cubic inches each side

Materials: Challenge Sailcloth 200 denier UHMWPE / Polyester woven with PET film lamination

Monte: Can’t stop. Won’t stop

As a high schooler in the public-housing projects of Richmond, Virginia’s East End, Monte Cosby felt his future was limited—until mountain bikes offered him a different route forward. In the years since the bike has served as the bridge between two different worlds and a vehicle to overcome the struggles along the way.

 

 

Don’t Stop Now – the Traka 360

Always smiling, no matter what odds are up against her, Lydia Iglesias is the youngest rider on the Café du Cycliste Gravel Team. The Spaniard – who works as a nurse when not competing on the bike – still has a long way to travel in her cycling career, we think. And this girl just keeps going, her marvellous engine is matched with a never-say-die spirit. Last year she won the prestigious La Traka in the 200km category. This year she went for the longer course of 360km, a distance she’s never ridden in one hit.
