The Maxxis Back Country Research Strap is a minimalist frame-mounted storage solution for the essentials you need after a puncture or trail-side mechanical. It carries a spare tube, tools, levers and inflation equipment directly on your bike, keeping everything visible and easy to reach without adding a bag or backpack.
The dual-shockcord retention system and adjustable design let you mount your kit where space allows, anywhere on a compatible frame. It fits frame circumferences from 4–9 inches, accommodates steel and carbon frames, and its 1-inch width works well in tight spaces. The grip-focused design helps prevent your cargo from shifting or “hula-hooping” while riding.
For dependable day-to-day use, Maxxis combines heavy-duty bartacks at shockcord stress points with #92 industrial UV- and rot-resistant bonded polyester thread. The picker-free construction is designed not to snag shorts, while real-world testing of the Mutherload design found gear stayed secure over jumps and drops and remained easy to inspect and access on the move.
A strong choice for mountain, enduro, gravel and adventure riders who want their puncture-repair essentials secured to the frame rather than carried in a pack.
Dual-shockcord retention
Preloads the strap around your kit during installation, helping keep tubes, tools and inflation equipment tightly secured.
Wide 4–9-inch fit range
Adjusts to suit a broad range of frame circumferences, from compact steel tubes to larger carbon-frame sections.
Mounts where you have room
The adaptable layout can be positioned anywhere on the frame that offers suitable clearance.
Compact 1-inch width
Fits neatly into tight spaces without taking up more frame real estate than necessary.
Grip-focused design
Helps stop your cargo from shifting or rotating around the frame on rough trails.
Reinforced stress points
Heavy-duty bartacks strengthen the areas where the shockcords take the most load.
Picker-free finish
Designed to avoid snagging your shorts while you ride or move around the bike.
Minion DHF styling
Black-and-orange colourway with a Minion DHF-themed design for a distinctive Maxxis look.
