Instead of a click system directly on the bag, a universal mount is securely attached to the rack.

Compatible bags simply slide onto the frame via a soft fabric backing and lock securely into place. A simple pull on the tab is all it takes to remove the bag. This ensures a completely rattle-free connection on the bike – and a comfortable, snug fit when walking.
