Zeitgeist Pack

The Zeitgeist Pack is a bonafide bicycle handlebar and saddle bag. Our design puts 12L of carrying capacity right at the helm of your bicycle, features two clever side-pockets and is designed for best-in-class handling. The Zeitgeist Pack is an excellent choice for gravel adventures, touring, bikepacking, and everyday bicycle commuting. 

 

The Zeitgeist Pack is made out of recycled polyester and contains roughly 15 plastic bottles rescued from polluted rivers.

Carradice Bagman QR Support-Expedition

Swift Industries is delighted to offer the Bagman Quick-Release Expedition saddlebag rack. An alloy metal loop extends from the rails of the saddle to cradle your Zeitgeist Saddle Bag. A quick-release feature allows you to clip and unclip your baggage without the hassle of fiddling with straps. Squeeze the levers to release the bag from its mount.

Velo Orange Saddle Loop Set

The Velo Orange Saddle Loops are aftermarket stainless steel loops that bolt onto the rails of your saddle in order to attach our Bandito Handlebar and Saddle Bag or Zeitgeist Bag. They are perfect for anyone whose saddle doesn't come with integrated bag loops.

    Attach the Zeitgeist Pack to your bicycle handlebars using the included Handlebar Bag Foam Spacer Kit, or ditch the foam blocks and mount the bag to the loops on your saddle using the Swift Straps that come with the bag. 

    An HDPE liner (that you’ll insert when your bag arrives), adds structure to the bag, improving its stability on the bicycle. Compression straps pull the bag close to the bicycle, keeping cargo weight compact and tight.

    The Zeitgeist Pack is available in one size, and comes standard with flap daisy chains and D-rings for versatile off-bike carry and extra dangle capacity.

    Measurements and Fit

    Without a front rack: When packed to the gills and under-weight, the Zeitgeist Pack plays nice with bikes that have a minimum of 11″ from the center of the handlebars to the top of the tire or fender. 

    With a front rack: As little as 7.5″ of clearance is required to run the Zeitgeist Pack on either a randonneur front rack or the rear Carradice Bagman Support.  

    Design your own Zeitgeist Pack with our Custom Color Picker.

    Your guide to checking the compatibility of the Zeitgeist Pack and your handlebars

    Handlebar width compatibility

    • Width of the Zeitgeist Pack including the materials with side pockets are folded up: 39cm wide.
    • Width of the Zeitgeist Pack when side pockets are full: 48cm wide.

    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 11” of space between your bicycle handlebars and the top of your front or rear tire to use the Zeitgeist 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.

    It’s New Zeitgeist Pack Day! Here at Swift, we mail our product unassembled to reduce the carbon footprint of your order. Check out this tutorial video about how to put your Zeitgeist Pack together the day it arrives.

    You may need to engage the cord lock on the lash cord attached to the daisy chain on the back of the bag. If the cord lock is not gripping the shock cord, compress the button end down hard until you hear a click. This means the cord lock is fully engaged and will lock onto the shock cord when static.
