Gas Tank Top Tube Bag
Revelate Designs Gas Tank Top Tube Bag Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Gas Tank is Revelate's compact bolt-on top tube bag that mounts using your existing top tube bosses or with included velcro straps. The magnetic closure lets you access snacks, phone, and small items one-handed while riding. The Spindrift fabric matches Revelate's frame bag line for a cohesive look.
Who Is the Revelate Designs Gas Tank Top Tube Bag Best For?
Quick-access storage for phone, snacks, and ride essentials. If that describes your riding style, the Gas Tank Top Tube Bag should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Top Tube & Feed Bags category alongside 8other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 70g and $50, the Gas Tank Top Tube Bag is 25g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Oveja Negra Chuckbucket Feedbag at 45g). The most budget-friendly option is the Blackburn Outpost Top Tube Bag at $35.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $71 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
