A ride through Paris, a day-long gravel ride, or a multi-day bike trip all require different equipment. In the city, you need easy access to your belongings and the option to carry your bag with you. On long distances, your luggage is distributed between the frame, handlebars, fork, saddle, and rear rack.
Rhinowalk offers bike bags for all these uses, from small models for carrying a phone or tools to travel bags and 27 L panniers. Routes and Roads experts explain the differences between the models to help you put together the best setup for your bike and planned routes.

Conclusion
Rhinowalk was founded in 2014 by an industrial designer and cycling enthusiast who already had several years of experience designing bike bags. The brand's name refers to Rhino software, which played an important role in his professional and personal journey.
Rhinowalk Frame Bags
Rhinowalk Top Tube Bags, 1–1.3 L
Top tube bags are practical for both city riding and short outings. They keep a phone, power bank, snack, and small tool kit within easy reach.
The Rhinowalk Territory Series Top Tube Bag 1L is designed for frames with two M5 mounting points on the top tube. The UFO disc mounting system remains attached to the frame, allowing for quick installation and removal: simply rotate the bag to attach or remove it. Measuring 22.5 × 5.3 × 9 cm and weighing around 170 g, it is one of the most compact models in this selection. This system is not compatible with frames that lack threaded mounting points.
The Rhinowalk Top Tube Frame Bag 1.2L attaches with straps, making it compatible with a wider range of bikes. Two adjustable supports ensure stability, while soft padding reduces rubbing against the frame. Its 2 mm interior padding helps absorb shocks. The two zipper pulls allow you to open the compartment in a single motion.
A compact bag keeps essentials within easy reach
The Rhinowalk Plateau X 1.3L attaches with straps or screws into designated mounting points. Magnets keep the flap closed, while an adjustable divider helps organize the interior. A discreet opening also allows you to route a charging cable. The bag measures 26.5 × 5.2 × 11.5 cm and weighs around 255 g. With its IPX4 protection rating, it withstands rain and water splashes.
The Territory stands out with its discreet, strap-free mounting system. The Top Tube Frame Bag 1.2L is compatible with a wider range of frames, while the Plateau X provides quick access to its contents thanks to its magnetic flap.
The Frame Tube Bag with Smartphone Window attaches to the top tube near the stem. Its transparent window lets you view a map or navigation app information. Before purchasing, check that your smartphone fits and that the bag does not interfere with your pedaling. If it is too high, it may touch your knees. Another point to consider: the touchscreen may be less responsive through the plastic window, especially when wearing wet gloves.
Rhinowalk Frame Bags, 2.1–2.8 L
Frame bags are ideal for day-long gravel rides and bike trips. They can carry tools, a pump, a spare inner tube, and other relatively heavy items while keeping them close to the bike's center.
The Rhinowalk Wilderness Series Top Tube Frame Bag 2.1L fits under the top tube without taking up the lower part of the front triangle. Four zipper pulls allow you to open the bag from either side, while an interior divider separates the space. Exterior and mesh pockets provide storage for small items. The bag measures 44 × 10 × 5.5 cm and weighs around 313 g. Be sure to check the available length under the top tube before installing it.
The Rhinowalk Wilderness Series M Triangle Frame Bag 2.4L occupies more of the frame triangle. It includes an exterior pocket, a hidden pocket, mesh pockets, a pump mount, and an opening for accessing a water bottle. Measuring 44 × 13 × 6 cm, it requires around 45 cm of available length and is best suited for medium- to large-sized road and gravel bike frames.
The bag weighs around 328 g. Its water-repellent nylon composite fabric withstands light rain and water splashes. However, in prolonged rain, it is best to protect electronic devices in a waterproof pouch.
Frame bags help balance the weight on the bike
The Rhinowalk Plateau X Waterproof Frame Bag 2.6L features a pre-shaped body made of TPU-coated material. Its rigid walls retain their shape even when the bag is partially empty and limit movement on uneven terrain.
The Rhinowalk Wanderer Series 2.7L has an elongated shape. It is accessible from both sides and features a cable passage and a pump mount. Measuring around 42 × 6 × 12 cm, it provides additional storage space while leaving room for water bottles.
The Rhinowalk Triangle Frame Bag 2.8L is the largest frame bag in this selection. Its welded construction and TPU coating protect the contents from rain and water splashes. Thanks to its straps, it can be installed on a frame without specific mounting points.
These five models allow you to carry tools and other heavy items close to the bike's center. The Wilderness offers many storage options, the Plateau X retains its shape even when partially empty, the Wanderer leaves more room in the lower part of the frame, and the 2.8 L Triangle Frame Bag stands out for its volume and weather protection.
Rhinowalk Fork, Handlebar, and Rack Bags
Rhinowalk Fork Bags, 6 and 7 L
Fork bags allow you to carry more on multi-day trips. They are particularly suited for lightweight but bulky equipment, such as spare clothes, a sleeping bag, or a compact sleeping pad.
The Rhinowalk Waterproof Fork Bag 6L is a ready-to-use bag featuring the Quick-Lock quick-release system. Its mount attaches with clamps to tubes measuring 9 to 20 cm in diameter or with screws to two M5 mounting points. The bag can be removed in a single motion and comes with a shoulder strap. It offers IP64 protection as long as the top is properly closed.
The black version is made of 500D PVC-coated polyester and weighs around 570 g. The colored versions are made of 840D nylon with a TPU coating and weigh around 20 g less.
The Rhinowalk Waterproof Fork Bag 7L consists of a welded waterproof bag and a separate carrying mount. Straps keep the bag in place, while a valve allows you to release air to compress the contents. The set weighs around 402 g. The mount can also be used to carry other items of compatible dimensions.
The 6 L model is more practical if you make frequent stops, while the 7 L model adapts more easily to different types of luggage. If you install a bag on each side of the fork, make sure to distribute the weight evenly and respect the maximum allowed load.
Fork bags allow you to carry lightweight and bulky equipment
Rhinowalk Stem Bags
Bags attached near the stem or to the handlebars are practical regardless of the length of the ride. Compact models can hold a water bottle and a snack, while larger ones offer enough room for a jacket, spare inner tube, or some camping gear.
The Rhinowalk Wilderness Stem Bag 1L attaches next to the stem with three straps. A zipper opens on three sides to provide access to the main compartment. Exterior mesh pockets allow you to store small items. The bag can hold a water bottle, phone, or snack. However, it is best to carry heavy items in the frame triangle to avoid unbalancing the bike.
The Rhinowalk Space Station 3.3L attaches to a removable aluminum alloy platform that limits the bag's movement. The top can accommodate mounts compatible with Garmin, Quad Lock, and GoPro systems, as well as a light or computer. Inside, you'll find pockets and an EVA base; on the outside, mesh compartments and elastic straps. Its fabric withstands light rain, and a cover is provided for better protection in prolonged bad weather.
The bag measures 25 × 17 × 14 cm, offers a volume of 3.3 L, and weighs 1,175 g with its mounting system. The system is compatible with round handlebars measuring 31.8 and 25.4 mm in diameter. Installation requires a free space of 51 to 70 mm and at least 170 mm of clearance above the wheel. The manufacturer advises against mounting it on a carbon handlebar.
Rhinowalk Handlebar Bags, 8–13 L
The Rhinowalk modular handlebar system consists of a Large Handlebar Bag 8 L and a removable Small Handlebar Bag 4 L. Together, they offer a volume of 12 L, but can also be used separately. The small bag allows you to keep certain items within easy reach and can be carried as a shoulder bag. The set is made of 840D nylon with a TPU coating on both sides and weighs around 750 g. Its five anchor points keep the bag in place while pedaling.
The Rhinowalk Wilderness Series Handlebar Bag 8–13L consists of a mount attached to the handlebars and a removable bag with a volume that can vary from 8 to 13 L. Spacers allow you to offset the mount from the handlebars and cables, a valve is used to release air, and exterior straps hold lightweight items.
A handlebar bag is generally used to carry lightweight and bulky items
The Rhinowalk Handlebar Bag 12L also consists of a mounting bracket and a removable welded waterproof bag, with a maximum volume of 12 L. The set weighs around 520 g and comes with straps, a shoulder strap, and four EVA spacers.
The modular system stands out for its removable front bag, the Wilderness for its adjustable volume, and the Handlebar Bag 12L for its simple design and compact weight.
Rhinowalk Panniers, 25 and 27 L
Panniers are ideal for daily commutes, shopping, and long-distance trips. They allow you to carry clothes, provisions, work items, or bulky hiking gear.
The Rhinowalk Waterproof Bike Pannier 25L attaches to the side of the rear rack. It can carry clothes, provisions, or some of your travel gear. The manufacturer sells it individually: to equip both sides of the rack, you need to buy two.
The Rhinowalk Waterproof Bike Pannier 27L offers a volume of around 25 L when the top is rolled down and up to 27 L when unrolled. It is made of 1000D PVC-coated polyester. It features three interior compartments and a reinforced base. Its quick mounting system keeps it on the rack, while its shoulder strap allows you to carry it over your shoulder.
Large panniers offer generous storage space
When closed, it measures around 32 × 15.5 × 45 cm. With the top unrolled, its height reaches around 62 cm. Each pannier is sold separately.
The 25 L model offers a fixed volume, while the 27 L version provides a little more capacity and better organization. Before purchasing, check the compatibility of the mounting system with your rack and ensure there is sufficient clearance between your heel and the pannier.
Rhinowalk Saddle Bags
Saddle bags are suited for day rides and bikepacking without a rack. They allow you to carry spare clothes, lightweight shoes, and sleeping gear.
Rhinowalk Saddle Bags, 5 and 10 L
Models in this range feature welded construction with a PVC coating, a roll-top closure, and non-slip straps. The Rhinowalk Bikepacking Saddle Bag 5L measures 41 × 15 × 11 cm, weighs approximately 440 g, and is suitable for day trips. The Rhinowalk Bikepacking Saddle Bag 10L is larger, measuring 47 × 19 × 16 cm and weighing approximately 614 g. It is best to place heavy items near the seatpost and lighter items toward the back.
The Rhinowalk Saddle Bag 10L combines a water-resistant outer shell with a removable, waterproof inner bag. The latter can be removed with its contents without having to detach the main bag. The 10L model measures 61 × 15 × 16 cm and weighs approximately 600 g. Its use is similar to that of the Bikepacking Saddle Bag 10L, but their designs differ in terms of water protection: the Bikepacking Bag has a welded construction, while the Saddle Bag consists of an outer shell and a separate inner bag.
A saddle bag allows you to travel without a backpack
The Rhinowalk Wilderness Saddle Bag 14L is the largest saddle bag in this selection. Its four-point mounting system connects a support frame to the saddle rails and seatpost. A welded, removable waterproof bag fits inside this frame. A valve allows you to compress the contents, and the back is equipped with a light mount and reflective elements.
The support frame measures 37 × 17 × 17 cm and the whole assembly weighs approximately 860 g. This design allows you to carry a large load and quickly remove the bag to pack your belongings at a campsite or hotel.
Conclusion
Small Rhinowalk bags allow you to keep essentials close at hand. Frame bags hold the heaviest items as close as possible to the center of the bike, while handlebar, saddle, and pannier bags offer more space to carry the rest of your luggage.
