Backpack support for your bicycle
Your pack.
A lighter ride.
Keep your backpack on. Backbone supports it from underneath, behind the saddle.

A backpack gives you freedom off the bicycle. On a long ride, that same weight presses into your shoulders, back, and saddle position.
Let the bicycle carry the weight.
The Backbone rises behind the saddle and supports the bottom of your backpack while you continue wearing it. The load moves off your body and onto the bicycle.
Ride supported. Walk away ready.
No panniers to unpack and no bulky side load. When the ride ends, your backpack is already with you—exactly where it belongs.
One pack. The whole day.
Ride with support underneath your backpack. Step off the bike with the bag you already love. Your Backbone can come with you, too.

Can I use the backpack I already own?
Backbone supports your backpack from below while you keep wearing it. Your bag’s shape, size and position affect how it meets the platform. Send us a photo if you’re unsure about the fit.
What comes with a complete setup?
Each complete setup includes a Backbone support, seatpost clamp and its model’s platform. Use your own compatible bicycle and backpack. Platforms and the Winch in the Shop’s add-ons section are sold separately from a complete support.
How do I choose between the four models?
Mini offers the shortest support. Standard gives you more adjustment. Standard V adds a wider, padded platform. Pro adds cable-and-winch reinforcement and a personalized setup review. Compare the models and check your fit before choosing.
