CUBE’s ACID Saddle Bag PACK PRO 6 wins Design & Innovation Award 2024

CUBE’s accessory brand has picked up a prestigious Design & Innovation Award 2024.

The ACID Saddle Bag PACK PRO 6 received the gong for its smart design, blending sturdy materials in critical areas with lightweight sections for easy storage. Its value for money was also highlighted, making it stand out in its category.

Developed in collaboration with experienced bikepackers, the saddle bag is pitched as the perfect companion for adventures of all sizes, featuring waterproof construction and safety features like large reflective elements. There’s also an attachment for mounting a tail light and an air valve that allows the contents to compress down further. For dropper post compatibility, riders can use the ACID seatpost adapter, which is available separately.

Here’s what the Design & Innovation Awards 2024 jury said:

“With the PACK PRO 6, German accessory brand ACID combines functionality and safety in one saddle bag, all topped off with an elegant design. The materials were carefully chosen to cater to the bikepacking crowd, with the long tabs making it easier to secure the bag to the saddle, and the seat post strap allowing for quick, easy installation. A generously sized reflector extends around the entire bag, ensuring good all-round visibility – this not only increases safety, but also fits in well with the elegant design. The robust, waterproof material of the bag meets the IP 64 standard, which also makes it dust proof.

“Furthermore, the ACID saddle bag stands out for its clever mix of materials, using stiffer, more robust inserts in all critical areas and sections of thinner material in the sections that can be rolled up. Add the excellent price-performance ratio, and the ACID PACK PRO 6 offers an excellent overall package – a well-deserved award!”

The Design & Innovation Award 2024 winning Acid Saddle Bag Pack Pro 6 is now available for CUBE dealers to stock.
