Berthoud GB22 Steering Wheel Bag 9 l – Grey/Natural Leather

The Gilles Berthoud GB22 combines the classic shape of a French randonneur handlebar bag with high-quality, durable materials and a well-thought-out layout.

The bag body is made of durable, treated cotton fabric. Trimmings and high-wear areas are reinforced with full-grain natural leather. The handlebar bag is handcrafted in the Berthoud Cycles workshops in Burgundy, France, and is designed for a long service life and future repairability.

With a volume of 9 liters, the GB22 offers ample space for tools, food, rainwear, a camera, and personal items. A large front pocket, one pocket on each side, and two rear pockets ensure that smaller items are quickly accessible and neatly stored.

The lid opens towards the handlebar side and can be conveniently operated from the rider's position. The outer pockets are closed with the typical Berthoud combination of metal hooks and elastic straps. On the lid is a transparent card pocket secured with a Velcro fastener.

A removable and replaceable internal reinforcement stabilizes the bag body. Two leather straps are included for mounting on the handlebar. Alternatively, the bag can be mounted with a separately available Décaleur.

Important: The GB25 must always rest on a suitable front rack or bag holder during riding. The leather straps or a Décaleur serve to secure it, but do not replace support from below.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The bag must rest on a suitable front rack or bag holder. It is not intended to hang freely on the handlebar.

Before every ride, the leather straps, closures, Décaleur, and rack must be checked for a secure fit and damage. The bag must not touch the tires, brakes, shift cables, or other moving parts. It must be mounted and loaded so that the steering and brake lines remain fully mobile.

The maximum load capacity of the front rack used and the bicycle manufacturer's specifications must be observed.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully remove dirt from the cotton fabric with a soft brush or damp cloth. Then allow to dry at room temperature and do not place directly on a heater.

The natural leather parts may develop an individual patina over time. Use suitable leather care products sparingly.
