Custom Catalyst Pack
The Catalyst Pack is our answer to all the requests we’ve received for a more svelte version of our best-selling Zeitgeist Pack. Riders with narrower bar widths and shallower head tube tolerances, or really, anyone looking for a bomber mid-capacity pack, now have a new option for stowing gear up front and off the saddle! The Catalyst Pack is perfect for gravel adventures, road touring, bikepacking, the daily grind, and even XC-MTB!
Our textile menu includes 1000D Cordura and XPac VX21 fabrics. Here’s what you need to know:
-1000D Cordura™️ is a nylon outdoor fabric whose classic woven texture gives outdoor gear an iconic heritage vibe
-XPac™️ VX21’s distinctive diamond grid give packs a modern, technical look and feel
Feel free to mix and match fabrics, and note that combining the two fabrics will result in a bag with varied textures and aesthetics.
$262.00
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. Where our classic Zeitgeist Pack was often too wide and deep for smaller frames, our all-new Catalyst Pack strikes the perfect balance. With an unmistakable design nod to its predecessor, the Catalyst retains the functional features and the clean aesthetics that make the 2020 Zeitgeist a bestseller, but in a slimmed-down silhouette that works well on smaller platforms. The design inspiration for the Catalyst was answering to the specific needs of smaller riders, and the end result is a beautifully functional mid-capacity bag that can work for everyone!

Mounting the Catalyst pack is straightforward and simple. For handlebar mount, you’ll use the outermost/widest attachment points on the top/backside Coverlight strip. Using the included Voile Nano Straps, thread one strap through the Coverlight lash tab on one side of the stem making sure to loop around the internal batten and looping around the handlebar. Loosely lock into place with the plastic cleat on the strap. Repeat this step on the other side of the stem. Center your Catalyst Pack on your bars, and then loosely attach the bottom shock cord to your head tube. Now firmly cinch the top Nano Straps on either side of your stem locking the bag into place on bars. Lastly, adjust bottom shock cord to appropriate tightness. For saddle mount, simply repeat the above steps using the innermost/narrowest attachment points on the top/backside Coverlight strip.
