Dark Speed Works Speedpack 480 – Aerodynamic Top Tube Bento Pack / Frame Bag for Cycling, Triathlon, & Multisport
The Speedpack 480 is a top tube-mounted gel, fuel, and gear pack that is designed to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of your road, triathlon, or time trial bike. Wind tunnel testing has shown that, depending on the bike and stem design, the addition of a top tube bento-type pack can actually reduce a bike’s aero drag. And reducing drag means more speed at a given power output. To maximize the aero advantage of the Speedpack 480, we gave it an advanced computer-designed aero shape unlike that of any other top tube pack. And we integrated a host of unique features that reduce drag, improve on-bike stability, ease usability, and also maintain high durability. (Note: if your bike has top tube entry aero cabling where cables enter the top tube vertically just behind the stem, you may get a better fit with the Speedpack 483. But a single top tube cable that’s oriented horizontally–like the rear brake cable on a Cervelo P2 or P3– won’t cause issues for the Speedpack 480.) Dark Speed Works Speedpacks are similar to other top tube bags, like those sold by xlab, but with more functional features, an advanced aero design, and made-in-USA heritage. THE BOTTOM LINE: The streamlined Speedpack 480 will securely and conveniently carry the race and training gear you need, while reducing drag and helping you ride faster.
