Giant Loop ZigZag Handlebar Bag: Compact Storage for Ride Essentials

Your phone, wallet, keys and ride documents don’t need much space, but they do need somewhere convenient to go. A compact motorcycle handlebar bag gives these small belongings a dedicated home on the bike.

The Giant Loop ZigZag Handlebar Bag 1.5L is designed for this kind of everyday storage. It’s an option for riders who want to carry a small kit without adding a larger bag above the tank.

What does 1.5 litres of storage offer?

The ZigZag is suited to a short list of small essentials. Think about what you reach for at stops: your wallet, keys, documents or a phone that fits the available space.

Its listed dimensions are approximately 27 × 6 × 10 cm, with a dry weight of around 170 g. Because usable space depends on the shape of your belongings, check larger phones and bulky cases against the bag’s dimensions before buying.

A useful packing approach is to give the bag one clear job. Keep everyday personal items together, then use other luggage for larger equipment.

Materials and mounting features

The ZigZag uses Bomb Shell™ vinyl-coated fabric and military-specification hardware. Its strap mounting suits many motorcycle handlebars, subject to available space and clearance.

Once removed, the bag can also thread onto a suitable belt or pack. That gives you another way to carry small belongings when leaving the motorcycle.

The product listing also identifies suitable scooters, snowmobiles and bicycles as possible applications. Fit still needs to be checked on the individual vehicle.

How to check handlebar bag fit

The handlebar area can already be busy with cables, switches, navigation equipment and other accessories. Before choosing a bag, look at the space that remains with everything fitted.

Check that the ZigZag can be secured without interfering with:

• Brake lines, throttle cables or electrical wiring.
• Switches and other controls.
• Instruments and navigation equipment.
• Full steering movement in both directions.

Follow the manufacturer’s mounting guide, secure the straps as instructed and check their tension at stops. Stop safely before opening the bag or retrieving belongings.

ZigZag handlebar bag or Buckin’ Roll tank bag?

The ZigZag and Giant Loop Buckin’ Roll both have a 1.5-litre capacity. The main choice is where that storage works best on your bike.

The ZigZag uses handlebar straps. The Buckin’ Roll sits behind the fuel cap on a removable harness and includes a smartphone pocket with a cable pass-through.

If your handlebars already carry several accessories, assess whether a tank bag offers a better mounting position. If your tank area is tight, check whether the ZigZag fits comfortably around your handlebar setup.

Protecting phones and documents

Use a separate waterproof pouch for moisture-sensitive belongings, as advised in the ZigZag product instructions. This is especially useful for electronics and paper documents.

For cleaning, wash the bag by hand with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and let it air dry. Avoid washing machines and tumble dryers.

Frequently asked questions

Will the ZigZag fit every motorcycle?

Fit depends on handlebar space, cable routing and clearance. Check your motorcycle’s layout and the mounting guide before ordering.

Is the ZigZag waterproof?

Use a separate waterproof pouch for moisture-sensitive items. Don’t rely on the bag alone to keep electronics and documents dry.
