"...I think it?s a well executed bag that is equally suited for rides to the grocery store as it is for longer bikepacking trips on gravel roads and doubletrack."

I’ve carried four pizzas thanks to the genius design of the magic straps, and reckon I could make it up to six – just need an opportunity to see pals once again to try that!
It’s also carried a spur of the minute shower fitting purchase too once upon a time, something none of my normal bike luggage would have managed without it tumbling out or requiring bungees / other straps…
Really enjoyed the versatility of it beyond the merely domestic duties as well – just having that extra bit of space on the trail and tour is a god send, especially when that end of day raid of the supermarket sees you exiting with arms filled to bursting with treats for the campside cook.
Only thing I would say if using drops is that it’s worth making sure the distance between them is a bit wider than the width of the bag. Rattling down a boulder field with an overpacked Alakazam did make braking a bit of a painful experience – that’s an issue with my set up though rather than the bag, as that as you would expect, performed flawlessly.

My wife and I own a lot of different bike bags. This is a hands-down go-to bag for commuting, grocery runs, and all-day gravel grinds. The bag is well designed and quality engineered to carry all your necessary gear. Oh, and did I mention the rad splatter?! On top of everything else, this bag looks amazing!

Got one of these as I was fed up with a bag in the summer while cycling to work and it’s basically a life changer. Big enough to stash a full change of clothes, shoes and a laptop. Bags super strong takes a real beating and my clothes stay dry even in the worst rain.

When we built a new everyday and beyond bike for my wife it was clear that it needed some sort of bag she could easily detach to take it with her. After checking other solutions it quickly became clear that the Alakazam ticked all the boxes. Funky colours and matchy matchy with my Shazam! and on the same time all the little details that make this a joy to use and to look at. The quick release hooks work flawlessly and the straps let you carry even the bulkiest loads. An absolute blast it is!
