How We Got Here
“The Big Handlebar Bag was born out of a need for a larger, more versatile bag that could accommodate everything from gear-heavy trips to urban commutes. Listening to feedback from our supporters and fellow riders, we set out to create a product that not only holds more but offers flexibility.”
“Our team went through several prototypes to ensure the bag could handle all kinds of conditions while maintaining a sleek and functional design. From durability testing in harsh weather to perfecting the interior layout, every detail has been fine-tuned to create the ultimate handlebar bag for every rider.”
The BIG Handlebar Bag
“The Big Handlebar Bag is Route Werks’ latest offering. We’ve been doing a lot of listening, testing and designing since we launched our brand four years ago on Kickstarter.”
