Gilles Berthoud Handlebar Bags

 for bikes with support racks

The full-size-series is comprised of three sub-sizes - 22 is smallest, 25 is medium, 28 is the largest.  Each of these also must be secured at the handlebars either by use of a decaleur or with straps that are included with each bag (but with straps you don't get room between the bag and the bar for your hands)

Deluxe versions of the 22, 25, and 28 are the 2286, 2586, and the 2886 respectively

Each of these is available in grey or black

The model 86 mini bag does not require a decaleur. 

Note:  Berthoud products carry a 60 day satisfaction guaranty - if you are are not satisfied with your Berthoud purchase, you may return your item (s) within 60 days (please don't abuse them or return them "after the tour") for your choice of full credit or refund.  We offer the best prices and best satisfaction guaranty on Berthoud items you will find anywhere!

The basic bag uses elastic closures.  Simple but elegant

The non-deluxe bags are by far our most popular sellers.

This bag is the model 25 - the middle size

The deluxe bag uses buckle closures.

This bag is the model 2286, the smaller size

The deluxe bag has a zipper inside pocket which we love to put our wallet and keys into.  We also use the side pockets for valuables, but knowing the item is zipped up on the inside is nice security.  Plus there is a plastic pouch for an ID card. 

Model 22 and 2286  -  roughly 19cm tall

Model 25 and 2586  -  roughly 22cm tall

Model 28 and 2886  -  roughly 25cm tall

Note:  The size of the bag you choose is typically determined by the distance from the top or your support rack to your handlebars.  Please email us or call for information and assistance regarding sizing.  We want to help!

the model 28 bag - the largest size

Gilles Berthoud Decaleurs

$ 79.00

When using a most Berthoud handlebar bags,  the bag needs to be supported both at the bottom (with a rack) and up top.  Berthoud makes a very nifty decaleur for use with quill type stems.  The decaleur comes in two lengths (most folks will need the shorter 91 version), and also two styles.  If your stem binder bolt (the one that clamps the handlebars) is facing forward, get the horizontal mount version.  If your binder is on the underside, get the vertical mount version.

The Berthoud decaleur is a bit more complex than other designs, but it is more robust and is a well proven design.

Gilles Berthoud Handlebar Bags

For bicycles without support racks

Berthoud 192 Bag

$ 265

Classic Berthoud - no front rack needed!

Note:  this bag was "replaced" by the model 805, but this bag has the classic styling that so many of our customers prefer.  Therefore by popular demand, Berthoud brought it back. We can get the 805, but this is the bag we really like. 

Please allow 4 extra business days for delivery of this item.  That's right - with this bag and its super easy quickfix attachment, you don't need a support rack. We were actually rather skeptical of this arrangement, but then we rode it quite extensively.  We have an Herse at the shop that was built as a road/sport without the intention of using a bag.  But we couldn't resist.  We installed the bracket (and a funky support strap that goes around the stem), and we were amazed at the easy-on, easy-off attachment.  You simply press the red button and the bag (along with the chrome support frame) comes off in an instant.

Now not all bikes are front-load-friendly.  The bike we use has a 73 degree headangle and just under 50mm of forkrake.  With a very light load, you can't notice it.  With a heavier load, it gets less optimal, but still quite pleasant.

Now we hate to say this, but unless you're running a really heavy load, in some ways this attachment is so clean and elegant up front, that we almost prefer this system to using a front rack.  Now if your using your rack as an attachment point for fenders and lighting, then you do need the rack.  But for light rando use or to outfit your bike with a classic Berthoud bag for a century, this could be the way to go.

The bag itself is very elegant, with elastic closures where you want them, and buckle closures where they are helpful.  On the underside of the top flap is a zip-up compartment internally which is great for stashing your wallet and keys - stuff you don't want flopping around.  This is one of our favorite items.  The bag is about the same size as the model 22.  It has one main compartment and one pocket in the front.

Note that all hardware you need is included - you bring the bike, we send the bag and bits to install.

Berthoud Model 905 Handlebar Bag

$ 219

A nice size bag that attaches to the handlebar using a quick-fix attachment.  A support rack is not needed.  Shown here is the bag in black.  It is very nice looking.  It is a tad small, though, for a true randonneur load.  Note that the bag comes complete with the Klickfix adapter. The bag has the very nice zip pocket on the underside of the main flap which we really like.

Gilles Berthoud Seat Bags and Panniers

Gilles Berthoud 786 Saddle Bag

$ 109.00

This Berthoud saddle bag is very popular.  It requires the use of a quick-fix mount which is not included.  There are two quickfix mounts available, one for Brooks saddles (shown on the right) and one for "all others" shown on the left. 

The quality is outstanding (as expected).  Note that this bag is an update of the previous version, (this one has more effective mounting).

Should the on-line store indicate they are out of stock, please email us as we usually get them back in stock in just  a few days.

Berthoud 799 Mini Panniers

$ 239.00

These panniers muck up our world.  We know it is best to load a bike low and up front.  But these panniers just scream to be mounted on a French style rear fender mounted rack (or on a front rack that has struts to the eyelets.  Combined with a standard size handlebar bag, these just say (pack light, and lets go credit card touring for a day or two).  If a pannier could ever be called "cute", this is it.

The bag mounts easily to a rack using a novel quick fix attachment system.  Most racks that have twin stays that taper together towards the dropout should work.  But French-style fender mount platform racks are ideal.

Each pannier is about 9.5 inches tall, 8.5 inches wide (at the top), and 4 inches deep (the bag will puff out some so wider when loaded).

Berthoud 1500 Small Panniers

$ 329.00

So you are credit card touring and want to carry a fairly small load.  These panniers are large enough to carry some reasonable stuff, but are not so large that you will be overstuffing things.  You can use these up front, but in the rear of course as well.  It is always better to load up low and in front.  But if you must put stuff in back, than these will perhaps "keep you honest" and not overload.

Each pannier is about 13 inches tall, 8.5 inches wide (at the top), and maybe 7 or 8 inches deep when fully puffed up.  Note that there are laces that can be adjusted so you can expand out the bag quite a bit.  The pannier is one large compartment (no pockets).  Its capacity is 25 liters.

Berthoud 367 Medium Panniers

$ 379.00

Please allow 4 extra business days for delivery of this item.  This is perhaps the most popular of the Berthoud panniers.  It is slightly larger than the model 1500, and has a 33 liter capacity. (So a third larger than the 1500).  According to Berthoud, it is designed for front or rear mounting, but special care was taken to allow it to work well as a lowrider rear (Berthoud paid close attention to providing heel clearance).

Berthoud 372 Large Pannier

$ 409.00

Please allow 4 extra business days for delivery of this item.  This is largest of the Berthoud panniers.  It has a 49 liter capacity.  Note that these panniers are designed for to be used as lowrider fronts.  Berthoud specifically states that they are for front lowrider mounting.  If you try to use them as a rear, you probably will have all sorts of heal clearance issues and stability of the bike will be negatively impacted as well.  So in other words, don't mount them on the rear. 

As you can see, there is a large compartment and a smaller pocket on the outside.  These are the bags for serious travel. So the serious travel setup is these up front, the 379 on a lowrider rear mount, a nice handlebar bag - and you are off to see the world.
