Town, gravel, bikepacking Zip pocket on flap Daisy chain for Bungee Booster Reflective for visibility Great for smaller bicycles Handlebar or saddle bag
The Catalyst Pack is a beautiful mid-capacity handlebar and saddle bag. A more compact option than the Zeitgeist Pack, the Catalyst’s trim profile allows for more tire clearance and narrower drop bars. The fitted flap sheds the elements and boasts a small flat zipper pocket for quick access essentials like your ride wallet, lip balm and a snack. Utilize the flap’s daisy chain of webbing to thread a Bungee Booster and stash a layer. The rigid plastic insert offers structure and support for your load. This compact and rock-steady pack is a great option for shredding some gravel and makes a great edition to a lightweight bikepacking rig.

Specs
Dimensions
Measurements: 11”w x 7”h x 6”d
Capacity (in Liters): 7.5 Liters
Weight: 15 oz
FIT-CHECK
Handlebar width compatibility: 30cm width
Step 1: Measure the spacing of your handlebars, inside-to-inside, at the hoods.
Step 2: If you have integrated shifting, enlist a friend to engage the levers fully into the center space between the bars, and measure the space from tip-to-tip.
Clearance (height) specs for use at the handlebars and on the saddle
You’ll need a minimum of 10” (25.5cm) of space between your bicycle handlebars and the top of your front or rear tire to use the Catalyst Pack without a support or rack. Keep in mind that a weighted down pack may sag into the wheel, and pay attention to avoid abrasion.
With a rack: As little as 6.5″ (16.5cm) of clearance is required to run the Catalyst Pack on the front with a Carradice Universal Bar Rack. Note that the Carradice Bagman Support is not compatible with the Catalyst Pack.

Haven’t been able to use it yet but I can tell I’m going to love it
Haven’t been able to use it yet, but the construction is sturdy and the design thoughtful. Fits perfectly between my 44 cm bars. I think this will be an awesome bag for bike touring.

Great Bag for a Cruise or a Commute to Work
The bag was a lot smaller than I had imagined. But its size is perfect for rear saddle bag paired with the Carradice Bagman Sport Quick Release(slightly smaller saddle rack). Very versatile bag that can hold my water, bike tools, a warm layer, and snacks. It was easy to set up with the Carradice quick release mount

Just my bag.
This is just what I need, whether carrying my briefcase to work(with my computer inside, it just fits) or picking up some guitar strings. And a camera, of course. (OOPS--This should be on the Zeitgeist page!)

Newbie using a handlebar bag
I'm a newbie using a handlebar bag. Bought the catalyst after seeing some reviews and figuring out dimensions. It fits perfectly on my bars, doesn't bounce around despite my inital use of stuffing it full of crap hapahazardly and then riding on unmantained rr beds, roads and through fields. Really loved how it settled down the front end of bike on the rough sections, which I wasn't expecting. Color me impressed. I look forward to putting though even more paces.
