The Salsa EXP‑R Series Cattail Rear Top Tube Bag turns the often unused space at the top tube–seat tube junction into genuinely useful storage. It’s the perfect spot for snacks, tools, CO₂, a multitool, or anything you want close at hand but not bouncing around in your pockets. The one‑hand‑operable design makes mid‑ride access easy, and the 1000D bluesign‑approved Cordura nylon body gives you durability and weather resistance for long gravel days.

Cattail stays secure with three hook‑and‑loop straps, keeping it stable and silent while you ride. At just under a liter of capacity, it adds meaningful storage without ever getting in your way.

Why this bag works

Cattail uses a space most riders never think about, giving you extra room without cluttering your cockpit or interfering with pedaling. It’s ideal for long gravel rides where organization matters, and the one‑handed access makes it easy to grab what you need without stopping. The Cordura construction stands up to dust, heat, and rough terrain, making it a reliable little workhorse.

Perfect for

• Gravel riders who want extra storage without adding bulk
• Tools, snacks, batteries, or small essentials you want within reach
• Bikes with limited frame‑bag space
• Riders who prefer a clean, low‑profile setup that won’t interfere with movement
