At a compact 7.5L, the Catalyst Pack has easily made its way onto our top-seller list as a go-to-gravel-adventure-bag. Riders with less clearance and narrow handlebars now have a stellar option for stowing gear on their handlebars and under the saddle.
The Catalyst Pack is made out of Challenge ECOPAK 100% recycled polyester and contains roughly 10 plastic bottles rescued from ocean beaches.

As any rider of smaller stature will tell you, when it comes to bike bags, there’s a fine line between, “big enough to haul my adventure gear and too big for my small frame.”
With an unmistakable design nod to the Zeitgeist, the design objective of the Catalyst was answering the specific needs of smaller riders. The result is a beautifully functional mid-capacity bag that works well for everyone!

Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
While it took me a hot second to get this installed under my seat, the online video tutorials were very helpful. The bag is roomy and well protected. And, the teal color is nicely noticeable against my cream colored bike, so I am easy to spot on the trail. Great pack!
The Catalyst pack was shipped quickly and was easy to assemble and install by simply watching your YouTube videos. The pack is ;larger than expected and very well laid out. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a handlebar pack that can carry all of the essentials you might need.
Already have the Zeitgeist bag which is great but can be a bit tight for my drop bars. Decided to add the Catalyst to my front set up and place larger bag in the rear or place it on seat as necessary. I like that the mounting straps are upgraded to a Viole type strap, easier to mount than the old buckle and nylon straps as on my Zeitgeist.
Plenty of room in new bag, surprised I could carry 6 glass bottles of dressings, a h2o bottle, phone and glasses!
Expecting many years of use shopping or on the trail!
I use this bag in my drop bar gravel bike and love that I can carry everything I need for a day of riding! I found it helpful to wrap my frame with silicon tape to prevent my cables from rubbing between the frame and bag. Easy to take on and off and easy to strap more things on top!
