Apidura Backcountry Frame Pack
Best frame storage for bikepackers tackling rugged, long-distance terrain.
Engineered for long-distance adventures and technical terrain, this full frame pack optimizes weight distribution by utilizing the bike’s main triangle. By maintaining a low center of gravity, it ensures stable handling even when carrying heavy, bulky gear like cooking equipment or water bladders. The reinforced construction provides durability, while internal straps keep contents securely in place during rugged rides. A dual-zip design offers versatile access, allowing you to open the entire bag for packing or just the top section for quick retrieval while in motion. It is a reliable solution for maximizing storage capacity without compromising ride quality.

Know before you buy
The Backcountry Frame Pack is designed with a versatile shape to accommodate a wide range of mountain bike geometries. Because frame triangles vary significantly, we recommend measuring your bike's top tube length and internal triangle space against the bag's dimensions to ensure a secure fit.
No, the pack features a reinforced structure and internal lash loops designed to keep your gear stable. By mounting securely within the main triangle, it keeps the center of gravity low, which helps maintain predictable bike handling even on rough terrain.
Yes, the pack includes a protected cable port that allows you to route a hydration hose out of the bag. This makes it a great option for carrying extra water on long rides where you need to keep your pack weight centered.
The dual zip system allows you to open the bag from either end or just the top. This design is particularly useful for quick access to snacks or tools without having to fully unzip the bag and risk spilling your gear.
The Backcountry series is built specifically for technical riding and rough conditions. It uses high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials that are designed to withstand the wear and tear of trail debris and frequent use.
