Cyclite – Ultralight Bikepacking Gear from the Bavarian Alps
Cyclite stands for radically lightweight bikepacking equipment:
ultralight, durable and fully weatherproof bags, packs and accessories engineered
specifically for bikepackers, gravel riders and ultra-distance athletes.
Freedom on Two Wheels
For Cyclite, bikepacking means absolute freedom: spending full days outside,
experiencing landscapes at the perfect pace and combining this with the sporting
challenge of pushing your own limits.
That’s why Cyclite creates products that are as light, aerodynamic and functional
as possible – without compromising durability or weather protection.
Product Portfolio
Cyclite focuses exclusively on bikepacking and performance travel. The range includes:
- Frame bags in various sizes (including XT versions)
- Saddle bags for ultra races and multi-day adventures
- Top tube bags with fast, easy access
- Food pouches for snacks, bottles or cameras
- Backpacks & accessories for use on and off the bike
From weekend trips to ultra-distance rides – Cyclite offers solutions for riders who
want maximum efficiency with minimum weight.
The Brand & Founders
Founded in 2020 in Grassau near Lake Chiemsee in the Bavarian Alps,
Cyclite is led by Christoph Kirsch and
Max Barnsteiner. They combine their background in textiles,
outdoor and airsports to completely rethink on-bike storage and performance travel.
Technology, Materials & Ultralight Engineering
A key characteristic of Cyclite is its outstanding
weight-to-volume ratio. Many bags are among the lightest in their
category and can save up to 30–50% weight compared to conventional solutions –
without sacrificing durability or functionality.
Among the factors that make this possible:
- a proprietary, ultralight yet highly robust fabric
- clever panel shaping and minimalist constructions
- high-frequency welded seams for complete weatherproofing
- a design language that focuses purely on functional details
Designed to Perform
Cyclite designs all products based on real-world bikepacking experience. Many details
highlight how closely theory and practice are linked:
- sway-free saddle bag setups for more stability on rough terrain
- clean, easy-access lid designs for quick handling on the move
- an aerodynamic approach that helps reduce drag across different bag shapes
Color Concept & Functional Aesthetics
The bags are available in Black and a distinctive
Light Grey. Especially the light colorway offers several functional benefits:
- increased visibility in traffic
- a brighter interior for better overview while packing
- lower heat build-up in strong sunlight
- easy cleaning thanks to the coated outer surface
Cyclite & The Cyclery
Cyclite fits perfectly with our focus on high-quality, technically advanced products.
The bags are ideal for gravel, road and bikepacking adventures of any length –
from quick overnighters to multi-week expeditions.
