Pronghorn Handlebar Bag
Revelate Designs Pronghorn Handlebar Bag Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Pronghorn is Revelate's flat-bar-specific handlebar bag, designed for mountain bikes and gravel rigs with risers. Unlike roll-style bags that hang below the bars, the Pronghorn mounts on top with a rigid internal frame that keeps the load stable over technical terrain. The clamshell opening provides full access without unpacking everything.
Who Is the Revelate Designs Pronghorn Handlebar Bag Best For?
Mountain bikepackers and flat-bar riders who need stable front-end storage. If that describes your riding style, the Pronghorn Handlebar Bag should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Handlebar Bags category alongside 11other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 350g and $160, the Pronghorn Handlebar Bag is 242g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Apidura Racing Handlebar Mini Pack at 108g). The most budget-friendly option is the Surly Junk Strap at $30.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $46 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
