With the help of the Quick-Lock S adapter, this ultra-light bag with roll closure can be mounted on forks with mounts provided for this purpose, as well as on forks without accessory mounts, as long as the fork legs have an untapered diameter between 30 and 42 mm. The Fork-Pack Plus can be attached or removed from the mounted adapter plate single-handedly in a matter of seconds. The Fork-Pack is made of PVC-free nylon fabric and sustainably produced in Germany.

Our Verdict
