Osprey SYNCRO 20 RAVEN BLACK Backpack

The Osprey Syncro 20 Raven Black backpack is a unisex model designed for cyclists who go on long rides, whether in hot weather or wet conditions. Its AirSpeed™ suspension system, featuring a stretch-mesh back panel, ensures continuous airflow across the back—an area where most packs create a heat trap. With a 20-liter capacity and an included hydration bladder, it meets the demands of technical rides where gear organization matters just as much as carrying comfort.

Ventilation and Comfort: The Syncro 20’s AirSpeed™ System in Detail

The AirSpeed™ suspension system is based on a LightWire perimeter frame combined with a stretched-mesh back panel. This design creates space between the back and the pack, allowing air to circulate freely during physical activity. The winged harness, designed specifically for cycling, follows the movements of the torso without interfering with your pedaling position and provides excellent stability on varied terrain. The side compression straps allow you to adjust the volume based on your load and limit the bag’s movement on descents.

Hydration and Organization Designed for Cycling

The 2.5-liter Hydraulics™ LT reservoir is included with the pack. It features a QuickConnect system for easy removal and refilling, as well as a magnetic valve clip that keeps the tube within easy reach of your lips without manual adjustment. The main compartment opens via a dual-zipper panel, providing wide access to the entire interior. A dedicated space for organizing bike tools lets you store inner tubes, a multi-tool, or a repair kit without mixing them with your personal belongings. The two zippered pockets on the waistband remain accessible without removing the pack, and the stretch mesh side pockets hold water bottles or small accessories.

Sustainable Materials and Additional Features

The main fabric is 100D high-tenacity, fully recycled honeycomb nylon, bluesign® certified and treated with a PFAS-free DWR—a formulation free of perfluorinated compounds that reduces the environmental impact of the water-repellent treatment. The bottom is reinforced with 500D high-tenacity nylon, also recycled and bluesign® certified, to withstand repeated abrasion. An integrated, removable rain cover provides additional protection in rainy weather. The LidLock attachment allows you to clip your helmet to the pack during breaks, and there is a mounting point for a flashing light on the back; the light is not included.

• Dimensions: 44 x 28 x 25 cm, a size suitable for day trips.
• Weight: 1.09 kg, including the reservoir, for a compact fit on your back.
• LidLock attachment: secure hook for your bike helmet during stops.
• Flashing light attachment: built-in mounting point on the back to improve visibility.

The Osprey Syncro 20 Raven Black backpack combines active back ventilation, integrated hydration, and targeted organization to meet the needs of demanding cyclists on long or technical rides.
