Valuables always within sight and reach: practical leather handlebar bags

Handlebar bags are a great way to keep part of your travel gear right within reach and in plain sight. Your wallet, smartphone, camera, and snacks for the ride: everything fits perfectly in these spacious and durable bags. And, let’s be honest, keeping your valuables in plain sight isn’t such a bad idea—just like having your snack box with fruit and treats for in-between meals. This way, you’ve got everything in view, even while you’re enjoying the scenery.

In addition, handlebar bags offer another advantage you should take advantage of: after all, such a bag makes good use of the otherwise completely unused space above your front wheel. And thanks to the widely used KLICKfix system, the high-quality Gusti Leather handlebar bags can be mounted super-fast and securely, while also allowing you to grab your hand luggage in a flash when stopping for a break or at your accommodation. And, last but not least: all of our larger handlebar bag models can also be carried as a backpack or a shoulder bag.

Goat leather, Cowhide leather, or Buffalo leather—which leather suits your preferences?

In our collection, we offer you pannier bags made from three different types of leather. You therefore have the choice between:

• Goat leather,
• Cowhide leather, and
• Buffalo leather.
  
  

Handlebar bags made of Goat leather are usually a bit stiffer at first, but they become very supple and soft very quickly with regular use. Models made of Cowhide leather and Buffalo leather, on the other hand, are slightly more robust than those made of Goat leather due to their naturally stronger material. Even after some time, these leathers still feel a bit firmer in their structure, although they naturally become softer as well. So decide for yourself which leather best reflects your expectations for your new handlebar bag.
