Gramm Tourpacking, the Berlin-based brand renowned for its innovative bikepacking gear, has unveiled the Diamond Back Pack—a meticulously engineered rack-mounted saddlebag designed to seamlessly integrate with the Allygn Diamond Back Rack. This collaboration results in a sway-free, waterproof storage solution offering 12 litres of rear capacity, ensuring your gear remains dry and secure during your cycling adventures. (bikepacking.com)
Design and Functionality
The Diamond Back Pack adopts a classic seatpack silhouette, attaching directly to the Allygn Diamond Back Rack rather than the seatpost. This design choice eliminates the common issues of rubbing and swaying, providing a stable and secure fit. The bag features an integrated dry bag, which is easily removable for off-bike unpacking, ensuring your belongings stay dry regardless of the weather conditions. (bikepacking.com)
Additional Features
Tailored for long-distance cycling, the Diamond Back Pack includes side pockets and shock cords, allowing for the attachment of extra items. The optional Anybolts on the rack struts offer further opportunities to attach cargo cages, expanding your carrying capacity. The bag is available in a variety of technical fabrics and colours, with a maximum footprint of 450 x 220 x 200 mm (17.7 x 8.6 x 7.8 inches) and a weight of approximately 630 grams (22 ounces), including the dry bag. It mounts to the rack via Velcro and FIDLOCK straps, ensuring a secure and adjustable fit. (bikepacking.com)
