Overview
The Manzanita Cradle was designed in partnership with Salsa, building on the success of their legendary Salsa Anything Cradle. The Manzanita Cradle is a bracket mounted, rigid handlebar cradle built for all riding conditions from rugged shredpacking to champagne gravel. The design provides ample, unobstructed mounting options for lights, computers, trackers, and more.
Features
Waterproof Protection: TPU fabric, Hypalon reinforcements, welded seams, and roll-top closure keep gear dry and protected.
Side Load or Top Load Options: Choose the 11L Side Load Bag for flat-bar mountain bikes or the 9L Top Load Bag for drop-bar road and gravel bikes.
Easy Quick-Mount Design: Hooks on the cradle and loops on the bag make it easy to hang, position, and strap the bag securely in place.
Secure for Rough Riding: The Manzanita Cradle holds firm for bikepacking, gravel, trail riding, and long-distance travel.
Accessory Mounting Points: Six top-mounted points give you space for lights, computers, trackers, and other small accessories.
Front Stretch Pocket: Keeps snacks and small essentials within easy reach without opening the main bag.
