Syncros aimed to enter the bikepacking market and commissioned us to develop their first collection. This project was particularly exciting, as it was not about refining or optimizing existing bags, but about designing an entirely new collection from the ground up. The four bag types – handlebar bag, top tube bag, frame bag, and saddle bag – are specifically optimized for Scott bicycles in frame sizes S to XL, while remaining compatible with bikes from other brands.

After the kick-off meeting with an experienced bikepacking expert, we approached the topic with an open mindset. Functionality was the main focus, but we also explored alternative closure systems such as BOA or ratchet mechanisms. We began with initial sketches and quickly transitioned into Illustrator, as it was important to adapt the concepts to the frame geometries of different bike sizes. In this way, we developed and visualized a range of distinct concepts.

Thanks to the precise fit of the bags, they appear seamlessly integrated into the bike’s overall design. In addition, all bags are fully welded, making them completely waterproof. The diagonal mounting strap on the frame bag is a clear unique selling point compared to competitors and reflects the Scott/Syncros design DNA. The many functional considerations – such as the harness system and the well-thought-out compression features – combined with a consistent and clean design language, make this bikepacking collection truly distinctive.
