The Right Height™ is a made-to-order top-loading bag that’s built to height and available in three widths based on your particular set up. It’s meant to sit on a front rack support and also be strapped to the handlebars at the top, and for that reason the bag’s height is based on the distance from the middle of the handlebar clamp down to the rack platform. Having a precisely sized bag means it won’t flop around and the weight of a packed bag will have a lower center of gravity to offer better bike handling while on tour.
This is a great option for big bikes that need taller bags than what the market offers. It’s also great for smaller bikes that need a bag to fit a shorter setup where capacity can be gained by in requesting the maximum bag width of 16”~20” (side pockets empty~full).

Need to Know:
- Measurements are for dowel height, which is the primary strapping place for the bag that attaches to the handlebars. The overall height of the bag is a few inches more and even moreso if your bag is stuffed.
- These bags are designed for rack support under the bag. Without a rack, you will have poor tire clearence because the profile of the Right Height is flatter and deeper and will likely rub the tire.
Strapping the bag tightly to saddles can cause abrasion - different saddle loops and rails can rub in different ways - but the robust hypalon attachment point can handle it without issue of bag integrity.
The bag does not claim to be fully waterproof. However, I do my best to weather-proof the bags through material choice and construction. If you need items to be fully waterproof, use lightweight & affordable dry bags.
Fabric may be scruffed/wrinkled, and/or have pencil marks due to the assembly process. There's nothing wrong with the fabric, apply heat to restore color on waxed canvas and the pencil marks are water soluble so they will fade away in time.
Reviews
I’ve been living with my BXB Right Height bag for about a year and I couldn’t be happier with it. Day-to-day I just chuck whatever in there: books, takeout, layers, etc. on trips it’s a gigantic home for most of my gear and food. It’s so useful. It feels like part of the bike. I only have one other bike and it needs one, too.
