Reminder: ALWAYS BE A STEWARD FOR GRAVEL CYCLING: Respect the roads, respect the locals, respect the land, respect your fellow cyclists.
Single-Handed Access
The strap stays securely attached to the saddle rails while the magnetic interface lets you remove the bag with one hand. Keep your other hand on the bike and access your gear without dealing with multiple saddle-rail straps or complicated closures.

- Smart Internal Storage: Includes a dedicated interior neoprene pocket for your multitool.
- Multi-Bike Versatility: Add a second strap to easily move the Quickdraw between your gravel bike, road bike, MTB, or commuter.
- Two Size Options: Available in Small for road bikes and narrow-tire gravel bikes, and Medium for MTBs and wider-tire gravel bikes.
Real-World Review of the Redshift Sports Quickdraw Saddlebag (or watch the video above)
A saddlebag should be simple, secure and accessible with a minimum of fuss. Redshift have gotten the design of the Quickdraw just right. The Velcro strap is ultra secure with its saddle rail clips, and the extra security of magnetism ensure your saddle bag is going nowhere.
Assuming you’re not producing Youtube videos and holding a camera, you can access Quickdraw with one hand. I particularly like how the strap stays with the bike while you remove the bag to slide open the large zipper, and access the contents.
For now, Quickdraw is not compatible with 7mm x 9mm carbon rails, but Redshift is working on that. Because Quickdraw doesn’t utilize a seatpost loop, it’s compatible with Dropper and Suspension type seatposts.
I love the open luggage-style open layout with bright interior, this makes tools easy to find, and should you purchase another strap or two, you can easily swap Quickdraw between different bikes.
Quickdraw hasn’t let me down whatsoever, I think you’re going to love it. It’s priced at $US 69.99, additional straps are available. and you also get a 90 day risk free trial. Learn more at the redshiftsports.com website.
