Handlebar bags for narrow bars

Which bar bags actually fit drop bars without hanging past the ends?

How this is ranked

Stated width across the bars, narrowest first.

Bar bags are sold on litres and the width is buried, but the range runs from 28cm to 55cm — the difference between clearing a 40cm drop bar and overhanging it by 15cm. A bag needs roughly 6cm more bar than its own width to leave room for hands, hoods and cable runs.

Fit is estimated from published dimensions, not measured on your bike. It's a shortlist, not a guarantee — check against your own frame before you buy.
