Product Information
Full details
The Restrap Race Stem Bag is a precision-engineered storage solution designed for ultra-endurance cyclists and bikepackers who need quick, one-handed access to nutrition and essential gear while riding. Built from waterproof VX21 material with a versatile mounting system, this 1.1L bag keeps your items secure and organized without adding unnecessary weight to your cockpit. While its streamlined profile is ideal for racing, users with extremely narrow stem-to-handlebar clearances may find the mounting straps require precise adjustment to avoid interference.

FAQs
What is the total capacity of the bag?
The bag has a base capacity of 1.1 liters, which can be increased using the internal extendable section.
Is the Restrap Race Stem Bag completely waterproof?
The outer material is made of waterproof VX21, which provides excellent protection against rain and spray, though the top opening is not hermetically sealed.
Will this fit on a mountain bike?
Yes, the versatile Hypalon MOLLE mounts and adjustable velcro straps are designed to fit most standard stems and handlebar configurations on both road and mountain bikes.
Can I mount this on either side of the stem?
Absolutely, the bag is designed to be mounted on either the left or right side of the stem depending on your preference and cable routing.
How much does the bag weigh?
The bag weighs 86 grams.
Troubleshooting
The bag swings or moves while riding.
Tighten the lower strap attached to the frame or fork to provide better stabilization and prevent lateral movement.
The drawcord feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Check the cord channel for debris or grit; clean with water and ensure the cord is not twisted inside the opening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at only 86g
- Highly intuitive one-handed closure system
- Waterproof materials keep contents dry
- Modular mounting options fit most frames
- Internal stiffener maintains shape for easy access
Cons
- Not suitable for very large, bulky items
- Requires careful strap adjustment to avoid cable rub
- Open-top design is best for items you don't mind getting damp if caught in heavy prolonged rain
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, wrap the velcro loops around your handlebar and stem, then secure the lower strap to the fork crown or frame tubing to ensure stability. Because it uses Hypalon MOLLE points, you can customize the position of the straps to work around existing brake or shifter cables. To clean the bag, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that could damage the waterproof coating. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it for long periods to prevent mildew buildup.
