Oveja Negra 925 Handlebar Bag vs Revelate Designs Sweetroll Handlebar Bag

Two handlebar bags, measured against each other on the figures that decide whether they work on a bike.

The short answer

The Oveja Negra 925 Handlebar Bag is ahead on bar width, weight and price. Nothing measured here goes the other way.

Assembled from the differences below rather than written over them. Every figure is a published measurement or computed from one — nobody here has used either one.

Bar bags are sold on litres and fitted on width. The figure beside each is the narrowest bar it clears with usable room either side for cables and levers — on drop bars that is what rules a bag in or out.

Weight
