Collaboration : Restrap X GravelUp
GravelUp x Restrap: the perfect match for your bikepacking adventures
At GravelUp, every ride is an adventure—an unfolding story written across rugged gravel, dust, and encounters. Of course, you need a capable gravel bike for these tales, but you also need gear that can keep up. That’s exactly where Restrap comes in.
Handcrafted in their Yorkshire workshop, Restrap designs sturdy, and ingenious bags that won us over with their authenticity and commitment. It was only natural that our paths would cross… and that we would ride together!
Shared values that bind us together
Behind Restrap’s products lies more than just craftsmanship—it’s a vision. They prioritize local, sustainable production that never compromises on quality or style. This high standard and attention to detail resonates with us at GravelUp. Like us, Restrap believes in an adventure that’s accessible, responsible, and profoundly human.
This partnership is the meeting of two worlds driven by the same goal: to give everyone the means to experience gravel in its truest form.
Tested and approved on GravelUp trips
Before making anything official, we did what we do best: hit the tracks. GravelUp founders, guides, and riders put Restrap gear to use in real-world conditions—testing out ultra-stable saddle bags and handlebar packs.
The result? Bags that go the distance on any terrain. Waterproof, intuitive, and resistant, they quickly earned their spot on our gravel adventures.
Exclusive trip: Bikepacking intro around Mont Ventoux
