Topeak MTX Trunk Bag EX

On: 2008-06-16

I ordered this bag the same day I ordered the Topeak Explorer Rack. I bought an entry-level Schwinn this spring in the face of $4 a gallon gas. I use my bike to commute (4 miles round trip), run errands around town (most everything within 7 miles one way), and short day rides. I would probably go with a bigger bag if I was doing longer trips. I like the zippered mesh pockets on the outside for things like granola bars, my poncho, and tools. The inside can fit a couple of books, an extra bottle of water, a towel, and my camera for a joy ride or a change of clothes and a pair of shoes for work. I wouldnt really expect to get $50 worth of groceries in it, but I have picked up the odd handful of items no problem. I detached the bag and carried it right into the store and didnt even have to bother with a plastic bag. It is not noticeable as far as weight, but I have not really pushed the 55 pound limit for the rack. A nice bag for the beginner, but more serious riders may want more.

The trunk bag is execellent. It arrived in very good shape, boxed appropriately and within the committed ship date. Very satisfied and would purchase from the store again.

LUV IT!

Pefection! Bag slides in/out of the Topeak rack system very smoothly and clicks when its locked in. Perfect size for a few groceries on the way home from the gym. Additional storage available using the bungee cords on top. And if I think I might need more space, I throw a non-bulky back-pack in the bottom that I can wear if necessary...like this Xterra mesh bag: http://www.xterragear.com/Mesh_Utility_Bag_p/9012.htm. Impress your friends with this great trunk bag!

Great bag for slide mount lovers

I already had an MTX slide mount and an MTX DXP trunk bag. I got the DXP bag for when I need to carry lots of stuff, and wanted a smaller bag for shorter trips where storage needs were less. So I ordered EX trunk bag and its perfect. Its quick to insert and secure onto the rack, and quick to detach. And even though its smaller than my DXP its still pretty roomy. Another quality product from Topeak.

Great bike bag but read below before buying

This bike bag is used with their bike rack. So you really do need to buy both. What a great idea....a bike rack with a track that this bike bag slides onto. Great design and holds a lot of stuff. I keep my lock, tools, water bottle, sun screen inside. It does the job and more than I expected. Also priced right.

Holds alot for its size

This bag works great with the Topeak rack system.It holds a suprising amount of stuff for its size!

Picture not repesenting product

This product was represented by a completely different picture. A good reason to purchase at brick and mortar stores from time to time.

Great purchase!

Purchased this bag with the matching rack for our second bike, so now both my my husband and I both have one. We enjoy riding long distance charity road rides, and this set-up is perfect: take extra energy bars, ibuprofen, another T-shirt, or stash extra clothing. At home, my husband will make a run to the grocery store on his mountain bike, slip the bag off his rack, and pack it up in the store, slip it back on outside, and away he goes. It can be switched from bike to bike easily enough, and you look nice enough that weve been asked where we got ours. Like I said, the fact that were on our 2nd rack and bag should be proof enough that this is a winning combo.

Well made but is part of a system..

I guess I did not read the description...an adapter is required to PROPERLY use this. I will either buy the special adapter or adapt it to my bike rack.

Great Bike Trunk

This trunk bag works SO well! I commute by bike, and this bag is so easy on and off. It holds all of my "stuff" and lunch besides. Great design, roomier than it looks, and good looking besides-its perfect.
