The
Speedpack 483 is our most advanced aero top tube-mounted
fuel and gear pack. With its versatile mounting system, the
483 will fit nearly any bike on the road. Which means that
the Speedpack 483 is 100% compatible with new generation tri
superbikes with integrated stems and/or aerobars. And the
Speedpack 483's low-profile strap system allows the pack to mount securely
to your top tube
with zero sliding and without attaching to a
stem or steerer tube. The 483's full aero
profile minimizes aero drag, even without hiding behind a
conventional stem. And minimizing drag means more speed
at a given power output.
The Speedpack 483 is also the perfect choice if your bike
has top tube entry aero cabling (cables that enter the top
tube vertically behind the stem). The Speedpack 483 can
mount anywhere on your top tube and its advanced mounting system
means that you won't need to run straps around either your
cables or your steerer tube. And, since the Speedpack 483
doesn't attach to a stem, the 483 is also a great
choice if you run a super low stem and just don't
have the real estate to run straps around your steerer.
Like our other Speedpacks, the 483's advanced
computer-designed shape, derived from a true NACA airfoil,
maximizes the pack's aero advantage. And we integrated many of the
same unique Speedpack features that reduce drag, improve on-bike
stability, ease usability, and maintain high durability. 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 483
will securely and conveniently carry the race and training
gear you need on your advanced triathlon bike, while
minimizing drag and helping you ride faster.
Features:
Advanced CAD-designed
shape, tapered and contoured in three dimensions.
Extended pack shape derived from a low-drag symmetrical
airfoil. Concave bottom keeps the pack tight and aero
on your top tube.
Special low profile velcro
strap system combined with 3M adhesive loop allow the Speedpack
to mount securely anywhere on your top tube. Advanced
strap system allows for a perfect fit on a wide range of top tube
shapes with zero rotation or slipping.
Aerodynamic hidden YKK
zipper with dual two-way sliders allow easy access to your
gear. Tough coated nylon
sides resist water and abrasion. Full-length
rubberized bottom grips top tube to keep Speedpack in
position. Custom shaped HDPE plastic insert and
high-density closed cell foam side panels keep aero shape,
protect cargo and provide insulation.
