Apidura 's EXPEDITION (12L) full-frame pannier is a must-have for bikepackers. It's "the" equipment of choice for your long-distance explorations. The pack fits directly into the frame of the bike and offers a large 12L storage volume. This is where you can store your heaviest and bulkiest equipment. The pannier will hold your kitchen equipment, tent pegs and poles, provided they are properly segmented. Although the bike's centre of gravity is lowered by the load, it is distributed over a narrow central plane, which has little effect on the bike's handling.

Like all products in the EXPEDITION range, the full-frame pannier is made from a three-layer fabric(polyurethane and nylon) that is waterproof, abrasion-resistant and tear-resistant. Its welded seams and protected zips won't let the rain in either, so your gear is well protected. But you don't have to worry about the heat either: as Apidura thinks of everything, there's a cable or hydration system loop so you can drink while you ride.

The EXPEDITION full frame pannier comes in two capacities, 12 and 14 litres. To make sure that the pannier is compatible with your bike, you can print out the attached template.
