Fork bags

Compact, waterproof and symmetrical: GIVI Bike fork bags make use of a space that usually goes unused — the legs of the front fork — allowing you to add extra capacity to your bikepacking setup without adding weight to the handlebars. On this page, you’ll find the 3.5- and 5.5-litre CARRIER fork bags and the complete sets that include them, designed for gravel, mountain biking and self-supported trips.

How to choose the right fork bag

The fork bag is the easiest way to add capacity without changing the bike’s setup: the load stays low, close to the wheel axle, and doesn’t interfere with steering. Here’s what to consider when choosing the right one.

Capacity: 3.5 or 5.5 litres

The 3.5-litre CARRIER is ideal for long rides and weekends: a rain jacket, repair kit and food for the day. The 5.5-litre CARRIER adds enough space for a compact sleeping bag or a complete change of clothes and is the right choice for multi-day trips. Mounted as a pair, one on each fork leg, they double the capacity while keeping the bike balanced.

Materials and waterproofing

Abrasion-resistant technical fabrics and a roll-top closure protect the contents from rain, mud and spray from the front wheel, which is more exposed at the fork than in any other position. Full details of the materials are available on each product page.

Mounting and compatibility

GIVI Bike fork bags attach to the fork legs with a stable mounting system and adjustable straps: mounting and removal take just a few moments, and the bag remains stable even on unpaved roads. Before purchasing, check the available space on your fork legs and whether there are any threaded mounting points: details are provided on the product page and in the instructions for use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fork Bags

For day trips and weekends, 3.5 litres per fork leg (CARRIER 3.5) are enough; for multi-day trips, the 5.5-litre version provides enough space for a compact sleeping bag or a complete change of clothes. Mounting two, one on each side, doubles the capacity.
