On the back you will encounter the comfort of the Space Mesh backpanel and the anatomically formed shoulder straps. By using the hipstrap to mount the bag to the seat it is possible to secure the bag tightly.

NB: There is not much standardization in the world of recumbents. We try our best to make our bags fit any bike without the need of do-it-yourself adaptations. However, we cannot guarantee that we succeed a 100%. This means that every now and then someone will find a pannier touch the bike's chain or a bag cover the bike's rear light. In general these problems are very easy to solve with some creativity.
