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.
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.
