Aero Top Tube Storage for Classic Road, Gravel, & Triathlon Bikes

The Speedpack 480 is a compact top tube-mounted storage pack that is designed to actually improve the aerodynamics of most standard road, gravel, or triathlon bikes. Wind tunnel testing has shown that, depending on the bike and stem design, an advanced aero top tube bento pack can reduce a bike's aero drag. And reducing aero drag means more speed at a given power output.

To maximize the aerodynamic and functional advantages of the Speedpack 480, we gave it an advanced computer-designed aero shape unlike that of any other top tube storage pack. The Speedpack 480 also has many unique features that reduce drag, maintain superior on-bike stability, improve function, and still have outstanding durability.

If your bike has top tube entry aero cabling (shift/brake cables that enter the frame vertically behind the stem), you will likely get a better fit with the Speedpack 483, the larger Speedpack 693, or the extra large Speedpack 915. But a single top tube brake cable that is oriented horizontally parallel to the top tube won't usually cause any issues for the Speedpack 480.
