It’s hard to believe it’s been eight years since Salsa first released its EXP bikepacking bag lineup, with the inventive (at the time) EXP Anything Cradle front and center. There have been a few updates since then, and it’s great to see a complete refresh of their EXP lineup today. Find details on everything below.

Salsa EXP Series Bikepacking Bags

The updated Salsa EXP Series bags are designed to fit a wide range of bikes and be equally suitable for quick overnighters and multi-week expeditions. The lineup includes the Cholla Frame Bag, Saguaro Seat Bag, and Agave Pannier. Find details on all three below.

Salsa EXP Cholla Frame Bag

The Cholla Frame Bag is a versatile half-frame bag designed to fit a wider range of Salsa frames and rider sizes.
