The Catalyst Pack is a beautiful mid-capacity handlebar and saddle bag. A more compact option than the Zeitgeist Pack, the Catalyst’s trim profile allows for more tire clearance and narrower drop bars. Utilize the flap’s daisy chain of webbing to thread a Bungee Booster and stash a layer. This compact and rock-steady pack is a great option for shredding some gravel and makes a great edition to a lightweight bikepacking rig.

FIT-CHECK
Handlebar width compatibility: 30cm width
Step 1: Measure the spacing of your handlebars, inside-to-inside, at the hoods.
Step 2: If you have integrated shifting, enlist a friend to engage the levers fully into the center space between the bars, and measure the space from tip-to-tip.
Clearance (height) specs for use at the handlebars and on the saddle
You’ll need a minimum of 10” (25.5cm) of space between your bicycle handlebars and the top of your front or rear tire to use the Catalyst Pack without a support or rack. Keep in mind that a weighted down pack may sag into the wheel, and pay attention to avoid abrasion.
With a rack: As little as 6.5″ (16.5cm) of clearance is required to run the Catalyst Pack on the front with a Carradice Universal Bar Rack. Note that the Carradice Bagman Support is not compatible with the Catalyst Pack.

Love! It’s the perfect size and makes commuting much easier.
Well designed and quality construction. Love the rigidity - works fine just strapped to the bag, but I may add a bar harness to move it off the bars.
The Catalyst is a fun bag for day trips or going bike packing. The size is perfect, I have Ritchey Venture Max bars 40cm (on the hoods) and 52cm (in the drops) and the bag fits fine. I’d say If you’re on the fence between a Zeitgeist and this Catalyst, then give this one a try!
Very well built and versatile bag. I initially wanted the Zeitgeist bag however Gemini warned that the Zeitgeist bag would not fit my bike because of the suspension. It is a 2011 Motobecane Team Fly. I think the Zeitgeist would have fit fine and the photos show plenty of clearance. I'm looking forward using the Catalyst pack for many years to come.
I would have preferred a different color cinch and tie-down than pink.
