UBORSE Bike Trunk Bag Review
A straightforward rack-top bag whose most useful feature is the one most reviews ignore: the side bottle pocket, which gives back the cage a frame bag took away.
The verdictTougher fabric than the price suggests and the bottle holder is genuinely useful. Re-check the velcro at stops, cover it in the wet, and it does everything a rack bag needs to.
The 600D polyester shell is a meaningful step up from the 300D fabric typical at this price — it resists abrasion from being dumped on gravel and from the rack rails underneath, which is where cheap trunk bags wear through first. Ten litres is enough for a change of clothes, a packed lunch and a rain jacket, and the velcro strap attachment means it fits essentially any rack without hunting for a compatible mounting rail. The integrated bottle holder is the quiet highlight: riders running a frame bag usually lose a bottle cage, and this puts one back within reach at a stop.
Velcro is also the honest weakness. It is quick and universal, but it loosens over a long rough day in a way that a hooked or railed mount does not, so it wants re-checking at rest stops rather than being fitted and forgotten. The fabric is water-resistant rather than sealed, so heavy rain needs a cover. And as with any rack-top bag, ten litres of dense gear sitting high behind the axle will make the back of the bike feel vague in corners — keep the weight light and bulky and it handles fine.
What works

- Velcro straps fit essentially any rack
What doesn't
- Velcro loosens over rough days and needs re-checking
- Water-resistant fabric needs a cover in sustained rain
- High rear weight makes cornering feel vague when loaded
