Challenge Black 1.5L Saddle Bag

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love the extra room in the 1.5L version. It gives me space for a spare tube, multitool, patch kit, and even a mini pump. It’s incredibly well-built and elevates my bike’s aesthetic without feeling bulky or overdone."

Bigger adventures call for a bit more space, and the Challenge Saddle Bag delivers in iconic style. Handcrafted in Italy from vegetable-tanned leather, this saddle bag builds on its smaller sibling’s legacy with added capacity and the same refined, heritage-driven design that dates back to 1896.

The expanded profile offers ample room for a full flat kit, multi-tool, CO₂, and even a compact pump, making it ideal for longer days in the saddle or bikepacking-lite missions. It mounts securely under your saddle with internal buckles for a clean look and minimal sway, while a wraparound internal strap keeps your gear from bouncing around. From urban commutes to rural escapes, this bag is the definition of form meeting function with a heavy dose of timeless craftsmanship.
