Topeak FastFuel Bag Bolt-on Top Tube Bag Review - feat. Cable Passthrough + High Viz Interior

Top tube bags are a convenient and simple way to carry more gear or snacks on a ride. The new Topeak FastFuel Bag Bolt-On is their latest compact and padded top tube bag which can be attached to a bike using straps or bolted on using existing water bottle bosses. With a retail price of $44.95 the FastFuel Bag Bolt-On offers a versatile bolt-on or strap mounting system to accommodate a wide variety of bikes. There is a 0.5L storage capacity with a single large storage compartment and full length zipper. Topeak has also incorporated premium details such as a high-visibility yellow interior and battery cable pass through to allow you to charge devices on your handlebar.

To attach the bag to the bike you have a front strap and an optional bottom strap. Both of these are scratch-free designs to prevent any damage to your bike’s paint finish. This can also be bolted into top tube water bottle cages via pass throughs on the bottom of the bag. Each of the Velcro straps are quite long which means they should work on aero stems or thicker mountain bike setups. We found the straps to be too long on our thinner road bikes and recommend folding them over or cutting them down to size. Note, Topeak doesn’t include any hardware so you’ll need washers or wider bolts to ensure the bag is secured when bolted in. Not surprisingly, the bolt-on design is the most secure option while the single bottom strap can lead to some swaying.

As the product name implies, the Topeak FastFuel Bag Bolt-on provides quick access to fuel and can optionally be bolted in. This gives you the flexibility to strap it down to a road bike or bolt it on your gravel bike or all-road bike with top tube water bottle cage mounts. The bag has a single large compartment with an angled design. There is a top zipper that gives you full access to the contents and high visibility yellow interior that makes it easy to see items. It’s a subtle detail, but a feature we’ve seen with other Topeak bags like the Burrito Pack that improves the usability of it. Branding is limited to Topeak side badging and tag on the rear on the otherwise all-black finish.
