Apidura Expedition Top Tube Pack 1L
The Apidura Expedition Top Tube Pack 1L is a durable, fully waterproof top tube bag designed to keep everyday cycling essentials within easy reach. Ideal for gravel riding, road cycling and bikepacking, it provides convenient storage for snacks, phones, battery packs and other small items without needing mounting bolts on your bike frame. Its streamlined, tapered shape helps minimise knee contact while pedalling.
Made from Apidura’s waterproof Expedition Grade three-layer fabric with RF-welded seams, the pack is built to protect your belongings in wet conditions. Silicone-backed Hypalon Stability Straps provide secure attachment, while a waterproof zip, wipe-clean interior and integrated cable port make it practical for everything from daily rides to longer adventures.

Waterproof Protection for All-Weather Riding
Apidura’s Expedition Grade fabric combines a waterproof construction with a durable cross-woven core. RF-welded seams create watertight joins, while the waterproof zip helps protect your belongings from rain and road spray. This makes the pack a reliable choice for bikepacking trips, commuting and year-round cycling.
Secure Strap-On Mounting
Unlike the bolt-on version, the Expedition Top Tube Pack attaches without requiring dedicated frame mounting bosses. Two silicone-backed Hypalon Stability Straps secure the pack around the top tube, while a soft-touch Velcro strap attaches around the steerer for additional stability. Adjustable attachment points help accommodate different frame shapes and sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of bikes.
Easy Access Storage While Riding
The 1 litre compartment provides useful space for energy bars, a phone, a battery pack and other small essentials. Its waterproof zip is designed for one-handed access, helping you retrieve items without removing the bag. A wipe-clean interior makes it easier to keep the compartment tidy after carrying food, while the protected cable port allows charging cables to pass through when using compatible electronic devices.
Streamlined Shape and Knee Clearance
The tapered profile is designed to maximise knee clearance and reduce contact with your legs while pedalling. An integrated HDPE structure helps the bag retain its shape, while reflective graphics provide additional visibility in low-light conditions. The secure mounting system also helps minimise unwanted movement over rough surfaces.
Care and Maintenance
Hand wash using dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge, then leave to dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean and lubricate the waterproof zip regularly with silicone or petroleum-based grease to help maintain smooth operation and performance.
Who It’s For
The Apidura Expedition Top Tube Pack 1L is ideal for gravel cyclists, bikepackers, endurance riders and commuters who want compact, waterproof storage that can be accessed while riding. Its adjustable strap-mounted design is particularly useful for bikes without top tube mounting bosses, providing a versatile alternative to the Expedition Bolt-On Top Tube Pack.
