What we supply.
Seven sub-categories covering the bags your customers use across commuter, touring, bikepacking, and everyday cycling. We’ve structured the range around the bike-attachment point (where the bag mounts on the bike) and the use case (what the bag carries and for how long), because those are the practical buyer-evaluation dimensions.
Saddle bags
0.3L–1.5L · Saddle rail clip or strap-on velcro attachment · Water-resistant on most SKUs, fully waterproof on selected SKUs
For tools, spare tubes, multi-tools, and ride essentials. The everyday saddle bag your shop sells with most bike purchases.
Frame bags
Top-tube bags (small, ride-accessible) · Frame-triangle bags (bikepacking-grade, frame-geometry-specific) · Down-tube bags (less common)
Bags mounted inside the frame triangle, on the top tube, or along the down tube. Top-tube bags for snacks and phones; frame-triangle for serious carrying.
Handlebar bags
Commuter (smaller, with map pocket or phone window) · Touring and bikepacking (larger, sustained-load designed) · Mounting brackets or strap systems
Front-mounted bags for commuter, touring, and bikepacking use. Mounting bracket vs strap system named per SKU.
Panniers
15L commuter (single) to 50L touring (per pair) · Klick-Fix, QL2/QL2.1, or universal hook-and-strap attachment · Water-resistant and fully waterproof options
The volume commuter-and-tour category. Rack compatibility (rail diameter, attachment-point spacing) named per SKU.
Bikepacking bag systems
Seatpost-mounted bags · Frame-triangle bags sized per frame geometry · Handlebar harness systems · Accessory pouches
Built for off-road vibration, weather exposure, and multi-day use. Bikepacking specialty retailers should confirm specific bag-and-frame compatibility at quote stage.
Cycling-specific backpacks
Frame-clearance shaping · Ventilated back panels · Cycling-jersey-compatible carrying · Reflective features on most SKUs
Distinct from general-use backpacks (outside scope) and from hydration packs (covered on the bottles and hydration page). For commuters carrying laptops, work gear, daily essentials.
Storage accessories and rack pairings
Rack mounts · Dry bags that pair with panniers · Rain covers · Rack pads for cargo bikes
Cross-references the workshop consumables page for rack-mounting hardware and bolts (the structural mounting bolts live there; bag-specific accessories live here).
A supplier that names waterproofing honestly and attachment systems clearly.
Waterproofing named at the level it actually performs
Every bag SKU names waterproofing status accurately: water-resistant (handles rain for typical commutes, not designed for sustained submersion or heavy rain), highly water-resistant (handles sustained rain, taped seams, but not designed for submersion), or fully waterproof (welded seams, roll-top closures, designed for sustained rain and brief submersion). The honest distinction matters because "water-resistant" claims often mean very different things across suppliers.
Wholesale pricing on a high-margin accessory category
Direct-from-supplier wholesale pricing on bags, which carry better retail margin than most cycling accessory categories. Bag margin is structurally strong because customers shop bags on features (capacity, attachment, weather protection) more than on price. Tier pricing improves as your volume grows.
Brand resale + your-brand private label
Brand-name bags (where the brand permits wholesale resale) alongside our Ryden-branded bag range. Bags are a strong private-label category for entry and mid-tier products: customers shopping commuter and saddle bags compare features more than brands. Bikepacking specialty bags rely more on brand credibility and are commercially mixed for private label.
Attachment systems documented per SKU
Attachment systems vary across brands and product lines: Klick-Fix, QL2, Ortlieb-compatible rail clips, proprietary mount systems, strap-on velcro, saddle rail clips. We document the attachment system per SKU so shops can verify compatibility with their customer’s existing rack or attachment setup.
Your brand on the bag a customer carries to work every day.
Bags are one of the strongest private-label categories in the cycling accessory catalog, with two distinct paths within the category. Volume private label works for saddle bags, basic panniers, commuter handlebar bags, and cycling-specific backpacks where customers shop on capacity, attachment system, and price rather than on brand. Your shop’s branded saddle bag or commuter pannier becomes a routine purchase customers associate with your shop over time.
We extend volume private label across saddle bags, basic panniers, commuter handlebar bags, and cycling-specific backpacks at [200 units per SKU on commuter panniers, saddle bags, and handlebar bags; 150 per SKU on cycling-specific backpacks], with 3 weeks to first sample and 2–3 months from sample approval. Bikepacking specialty bags are honestly outside private-label scope at launch: bikepacking buyers rely heavily on brand credibility (Apidura, Revelate, Ortlieb, Topeak Cargo Cage carry rating credibility built over years), and a launch-stage private label range doesn’t easily compete in that buyer audience. The operational reasoning: bikepacking-grade attachment systems, materials, and warranty support require specialty engineering and customer-service depth we’d rather invest in properly than launch under-prepared.
Enquire about private-label bagsBag specs that determine whether a bag actually performs.
Bags are subject to performance claims that often don’t survive real-use testing. A pannier marketed as “fully waterproof” may have non-welded seams that leak in sustained rain; a handlebar bag rated for “all-weather use” may not handle the vibration of off-road riding; a saddle bag claimed to fit “all saddles” may not fit saddle rails on certain frame and saddle combinations. Wholesale buyers learn to evaluate bags on real-performance specifications. The specs that matter:
Waterproofing levels and what they actually mean
The bag industry uses several waterproofing terms with overlapping meanings. We use these definitions consistently across our range: water-resistant (handles light rain and brief weather exposure; not designed for sustained rain or submersion; typical of saddle bags, commuter bags, and entry-level panniers). Highly water-resistant (handles sustained rain for hours; taped seams; not designed for submersion; typical of higher-tier commuter panniers and most cycling backpacks). Fully waterproof (welded or heat-sealed seams; roll-top closures or sealed zippers; handles sustained heavy rain and brief submersion such as during stream crossings on bikepacking; typical of bikepacking-grade bags and top-tier touring panniers). We name the waterproofing level per SKU based on real testing rather than marketing language.
Materials and construction
Bag materials affect water resistance, abrasion resistance, weight, and durability. Common materials: nylon (polyamide) in various weights and coatings; durable, common across commuter and saddle bags. Ripstop nylon; nylon with reinforcing threads that resist tearing, common in bikepacking bags where weight matters and the bags see abrasion. Cordura; a heavier-duty nylon with high abrasion resistance, common in commuter panniers and touring bags. TPU-coated nylon or TPU laminate; the typical material for fully waterproof bags, with welded seams forming a watertight enclosure. EVA foam or padded materials; used in laptop and electronics compartments. We name primary material per SKU.
Capacity and how it’s measured
Bag capacity is stated in liters (L). Measurement methods vary across the industry; we use the volumetric measurement(the actual interior volume measured by filling with water or beads) rather than the stretched-or-loaded capacity some suppliers claim. A 25L pannier from us holds genuinely close to 25L of contents; some competitor “25L” panniers hold closer to 18–20L when measured similarly. Capacity named per SKU.
Attachment systems
Bag attachment to the bike is the most common point of failure in real use. Common attachment systems: Klick-Fix (German rail-mount system, widely compatible with German and European rack brands). QL2 / QL2.1 (Ortlieb’s quick-release system, widely compatible). Universal hook-and-strap (standard hooks fitting most rack rails plus bottom-strap stabilization; works on most racks but provides less secure attachment than dedicated systems). Velcro and strap-on (common on saddle bags, frame bags, and bikepacking bags; doesn’t require specific bike compatibility but requires correct strap placement for security). Magnetic (rare, used on some commuter handlebar bags). Per-SKU attachment system named explicitly.
Rack compatibility for panniers
Panniers must fit the rack they attach to. The rack-attachment dimensions vary: rail diameter (most standard panniers fit 8–16mm rack rails), rack tube diameter (some systems require specific diameters), and attachment-point spacing (some panniers require specific distances between attachment points). A pannier “fits standard racks” usually means most rear-mount racks; a pannier “fits Klick-Fix racks” means specifically Klick-Fix-equipped racks. Per-SKU rack compatibility named.
Mounting hardware and bolts
Bag mounting hardware (the hooks, brackets, screws that secure the bag to the bike) is typically supplied with the bag. Replacement hardware is available for service. Larger rack-mounting systems often require specific bolts; the workshop consumables page covers general rack-mounting hardware.
Bikepacking-specific considerations
Bikepacking bags face vibration, weight load, and weather exposure beyond what commuter bags handle. Specific considerations: seatpost-mounted bags must handle vibration without working loose; frame-triangle bags must fit the specific frame geometry (not all frames have the same triangle dimensions); handlebar harness systems must hold weight without affecting steering. Bikepacking buyers evaluate these factors at a depth beyond commuter bag buyers; per-SKU bikepacking compatibility and considerations named.
Cycling-specific backpack design considerations
A backpack designed for cycling differs from a general backpack in several ways: shaped to clear the rider’s back at all cycling positions, ventilated back panel that allows airflow, often with reflective strips for visibility, sometimes with helmet-attachment loops, sometimes with rain cover included. Per-SKU cycling-specific design features named.
Reflective and visibility features
Many bags include reflective strips, reflective panels, or attachment points for additional reflectives. This is particularly important for commuter bags carried by riders in low-light or evening conditions. Reflective coverage per SKU named.
Smart bags with integrated GPS tracking or connectivity features are outside scope at launch; engineering and warranty depth beyond launch capacity. Bags with integrated speakers, lights, or other electronics are outside scope. Bags marketed as “convertible” between cycling and non-cycling use (laptop bags that double as panniers, for example) are limited in our range because the design compromises often fail in both use cases.
Bags ship larger than other accessories and have specific packing considerations.
Bags ship larger per box; shape preservation matters in transit
Bags ship larger per box than most accessory categories because of bag volume and the need to ship them with shape preservation. A crumpled bag arriving in a customer’s hands looks like damaged product even if it’s actually fine. Per-SKU freight is moderate; small reorders move by parcel courier, larger orders by pallet. Bikepacking bag systems often ship as multi-bag packs that consolidate into larger shipments efficiently. International freight from the origin port is quoted per shipment alongside your initial quote.
Packing matches retail tier; bikepacking systems often include accessories within the bag
Bags ship in retail-ready packaging where they’re sold through to end customers (boxed individually with the bag, mounting hardware, instructions, and warranty card). Workshop-bulk packing is available for shops with display setups that don’t need retail packaging on every unit. Bikepacking bag systems often include mounting straps and accessories that ship within the bag itself rather than as separate items.
Installation is a 5–10 minute workshop operation; replacement parts available for service
Bag installation at the customer-bike level is typically a 5–10 minute workshop operation. Panniers fit to existing racks; handlebar bags fit to handlebars with mounting brackets; saddle bags fit to saddle rails with clips. Mounting hardware that comes with the bag is sufficient for most installations. Replacement parts (mounting hardware, attachment clips, replacement straps) are available for service.

What buyers actually ask.
What’s the difference between water-resistant, highly water-resistant, and fully waterproof?
Water-resistant: handles light rain and brief weather exposure; not designed for sustained rain or submersion. Highly water-resistant: handles sustained rain for hours; taped seams; not designed for submersion. Fully waterproof: welded or heat-sealed seams; roll-top closures or sealed zippers; handles sustained heavy rain and brief submersion. The terms differ in real-use performance, and we name the level per SKU based on real testing rather than marketing language.
What attachment systems do your panniers use?
Klick-Fix, QL2 / QL2.1 Ortlieb-compatible, and universal hook-and-strap systems across the range. The specific attachment system per SKU is named in the SKU description. A pannier "fits standard racks" usually means most rear-mount racks; a pannier "fits Klick-Fix racks" means specifically Klick-Fix-equipped racks.
Are your bag capacity measurements accurate?
Yes. We use volumetric measurement (actual interior volume) rather than stretched-or-loaded capacity. A 25L pannier from us holds genuinely close to 25L of contents; some competitor "25L" panniers hold closer to 18–20L when measured similarly.
Do you supply bikepacking-specific bag systems?
Yes, but with honest scope. Bikepacking bag systems include seatpost-mounted bags, frame-triangle bags sized for specific frame geometries, handlebar harness systems, and accessory pouches. The bikepacking range at launch covers common frame sizes and use cases; bikepacking specialty retailers should confirm specific bag and frame compatibility at quote stage.
Do you supply cycling-specific backpacks distinct from general backpacks?
Yes. Cycling-specific backpacks are shaped for frame clearance at riding positions, have ventilated back panels, often include reflective features, and are designed for daily cycling use. They’re distinct from general-use backpacks (outside our scope) and from hydration packs (covered on the bottles and hydration page).
What materials do your bags use?
Common materials across the range: nylon, ripstop nylon (bikepacking applications), Cordura (commuter and touring panniers), TPU-coated nylon or TPU laminate (fully waterproof bags), EVA foam (laptop and electronics compartments). Primary material named per SKU.
What’s the warranty on wholesale bags?
Bags carry manufacturing-defect coverage on materials, stitching, attachment hardware, and (for waterproof bags) seam integrity: [24 months on materials and stitching, 12 months on seam integrity for waterproof bags]. Wear (scratches, fading from UV exposure, normal abrasion) is not covered. Customer damage from puncture, cuts, or exposure beyond bag design is not covered.
Do you supply replacement mounting hardware for bags?
Yes. Replacement clips, brackets, straps, and mounting hardware are available as separate consumables for service.
Do you supply bike racks?
Briefly, as a paired product with panniers. Standard rear racks and front racks for pannier compatibility, plus structural rack pads for cargo bikes. Larger rack inventories and specialty rack systems are not yet a major focus of our supply at launch.
What about wall-mount bike storage for homes and garages?
Not at launch. Indoor bike storage (wall hooks, indoor stands, garage hangers) is a household-furniture-adjacent category outside our wholesale bicycle accessory scope.
Can you supply bags for cycling clubs and event branding?
Yes. Custom-branded bags for cycling clubs, charity events, and corporate accounts are available similarly to bottles custom branding. Quote stage confirms artwork process, MOQ, and lead times for custom branding.
Do you supply smart bags with GPS or connectivity?
Not at launch. Smart bags require engineering and warranty depth beyond what we can supply at launch volumes.
Can you supply a starter bag and storage inventory for a new shop?
Yes. Quote stage confirms a starter inventory based on your shop’s target customer mix (commuter, bikepacking, general, e-bike) and your service capability.
