Apidura’s new Revive Program takes your used and beaten up bags or packs and repairs them to like new, but with beausage, condition:

We believe in producing packs that are Built to Last. The longer a pack is in use, the lower the environmental impact of the resources used to make it. Much like a bike, packs sometimes need a bit of upkeep and maintenance to keep them working well over the years, which is why we design our packs to be easily repaired. By investing in returning purpose to these packs through revive, we hope to reduce unnecessary waste and extend the useful lifecycle of idle packs.

Modern mountain bikes are worlds different than their predecessors from even ten years ago. Even hardtails are pursuing the longer, slacker, lower approach to geometry. This means bikepacking bags need to be updated. Apidura has taken their Backcountry frame bags and updated them to fit modern hardtails better. They didn’t stop there however, these bags are completely redesigned with new compartments, improved details, 2.5, 4, 6L sizes, and more. Head to Apidura to see all the updated bags in the MTB lineup.

When it comes to ultra-endurance races, having everything you need within arm’s reach is of the utmost importance. Apidura has a pedigree for making bikepacking bags that are sleek and functional and today’s announcement of the Racing Long Top Tube Pack embodies those ideologies. These 2L packs stretch from stem to seatpost, offering a slim but spacious pack for snacks and other essential devices. Head to Apidura to see more.

Apidura, makers of dang tough bikepacking bags have evolved their  Backcountry Saddle Pack to be compatible with dropper posts. This is thanks to a nylon sleeve that glides up and down the dropper stanchion while securing the pack to the saddle rails. This pack has reinforcement in the form of a skid plate in case it hits the tire at some point, a loop for a light on the back, reinforced stitching, and weighs a mere 265g with a retail price of $156.
