While we love bags, we’re most stoked on the Basket ($80). OMM built this basket to bolt directly to its racks for a stable and rattle-free ride.

Moosepacks Medium and Large Mini Framebags $125
John’s been using the size large Moosepacks on various review bikes over the past year and that says something. When carrying all yer stuff in a hip bag is great for a MTB, sometimes it’s nice to free up your body for a gravel or road bike. That’s what’s great about these mini framebags by Moosepacks. They fit all your essentials and more.
