BRISTOL, U.K. (BRAIN) — Tailfin has launched a new rear bag for mountain bikes on Kickstarter. The company said the product solves some of the challenges of carrying a medium amount of stuff on a mountain bike: it attaches quickly and is stable, is compatible with dropper posts, carbon posts and small frames, and doesn't get in the way when the rider gets behind the saddle.
The AeroPack is a follow up to iTailfin's T1 carbon rack and pannier range, which launched in 2016.
The AeroPack family includes three different models, for road, gravel or mountain bike. Each model shares a 20-liter waterproof roll-top pack with a built-in lightweight rigid backbone.
The models differ from each other in the way they attach to the bike. The three products available at launch are: the AeroPack Carbon, the AeroPack Alloy and the AeroPack Trunk.
The AeroPack Carbon and the Aeropack Alloy have an integrated bag and rack system, in which the rack is permanently connected to the bag for improved weight reduction. The AeroPack Carbon's rack body is made from carbon fibre, while the AeroPack Alloy is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium.
The AeroPack Trunk consists of a bag only, which mounts to Tailfin's original T1 carbon pannier rack. The rack is mounted to the Tailfin Axle, which contains the lower mounting points and replaces either QR or thru axles. It's designed to work with new configurations including Boost or Super Boost spacing.
