Red Rebane Purist Plus 2-in-1 bicycle backpack

Red Rebane Purist Plus 2-in-1 bike backpack, when your bike bag suddenly becomes a city backpack

No big fuss: the Red Rebane Purist Plus 2-in-1 bike backpack is made for everyone who is seriously on the road by bike but doesn’t feel like constantly juggling between backpack, bike bag and laptop bag. You click it onto the luggage rack, ride off, take it off, and carry it like a full-fledged backpack. No fiddling, no “Where do I put this now?”. Just on, off, go.

2-in-1 system with KLICKfix, stable on the bike, comfortable on your back

At its core, the Purist Plus is a well-thought-out hybrid: bike bag and backpack in one. The patented KLICKfix mount secures the backpack firmly to the luggage rack so it doesn’t sway back and forth on cobblestones, curbs or during sudden evasive maneuvers. For you, this means smoother handling and less stress when looking over your shoulder.

As soon as you reach your destination, you detach the backpack from the mount in just a few seconds and shoulder it as usual. The conversion works without tools and without complicated adjustments – one move, done. Especially if you commute daily or often switch between train, office and bike, you’ll quickly notice how convenient this is.

Spacious main compartment with large opening, everything in view, nothing in the way

The main compartment is designed so that you can open it wide. Not this “I’ll just fish around blindly in the backpack and hope I find the keys”, but: zipper open, clear view. The generous opening makes it easier to pack, organize and quickly find your things, whether it’s a rain jacket, folder, camera or your after-work shopping.

There is also an external front pocket that gives you quick access to small items you constantly need: wallet, ticket, lock, headphones, energy bar. You don’t have to tear open the entire main compartment just to fish out something small. Especially in everyday life, when things simply have to move quickly, this is worth its weight in gold.

Thoughtful laptop compartment for large devices, including MacBook Pro 16-inch

Inside, there is a separate laptop compartment with clearly defined dimensions: 37 × 26 × 3 cm. In concrete terms, this means that larger laptops such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro also fit in comfortably without being squeezed. The compartment is positioned so that your device remains well protected and at the same time quickly accessible – practical if you just want to pull out your laptop for a moment in a café or at the office.

Next to the laptop compartment there is a smaller internal pocket for important small items: charging cable, mouse, notebook, keys or passport. So not everything is flying around loosely in the backpack, but has its fixed place. We’d say: less chaos, more overview, and yes, that really makes a difference in everyday life.

29-liter volume, enough space for commuting, everyday life and short trips

With a volume of 29 liters, you hit that sweet spot between “compact enough for everyday use” and “big enough for a weekend trip or office plus sports gear”. You can easily fit in laptop, documents, a change of clothes, rain jacket and some groceries without the backpack immediately looking like half a house move.

The external dimensions range between 50 and 62 cm in height (depending on load and closure), 30 cm in width and 13 cm in depth. This keeps the Purist Plus slim enough not to get in the way on trains, in elevators or narrow hallways, while still offering a surprisingly generous interior.

Side pockets for water bottles and more, quickly accessible, safely stowed

On the sides you’ll find generously sized pockets that are ideal for water bottles, thermal mugs or a compact pump. This way you always have your drinks at hand without having to open the main compartment every time. Especially on longer rides or in summer, this is very pleasant.

Of course, you can also repurpose the side pockets: gloves, hat, lock cable – everything you want to have quickly at hand goes here. And stays there without constantly slipping out.

Stable back panel, steady fit on the luggage rack

To prevent the backpack from sagging or twisting on the bike, a reinforcement is integrated in the rear section. This ensures a stable shape and optimal contact with the luggage rack. The result: less wobbling, less rattling, fewer nerves.

The stable back panel is also noticeable when carrying it on your back. The backpack keeps its shape, doesn’t press uncomfortably through and stays close to your body instead of pulling backwards like a wet sack.

Comfortable to carry with 3D mesh padding and chest strap

When you wear the Purist Plus as a backpack, the padded shoulder straps and back padding come into play. Both are equipped with breathable 3D mesh padding that ensures air circulation and distributes pressure more evenly. Especially on longer walks or with heavier loads, you’ll feel how much more relaxed this is.

In addition, a chest strap is attached to the shoulder straps. This allows you to distribute the weight better and pull the backpack closer to your body. It prevents it from sliding back and forth when fully loaded or pulling uncomfortably on your shoulders. In short: you can carry more without it immediately feeling like “too much”.

Durable materials inside and out, built for real everyday use

On the inside, Red Rebane relies on Cordura, a proven, abrasion-resistant material that doesn’t give up quickly even under intensive use. It forgives you if you pack a bit roughly and reliably protects your gear.

On the outside, RIVERCYCLON® 605 SD is used. This material is not only hard-wearing but also designed for longevity and fits perfectly with a backpack that is used daily in sun, rain, wind and the usual city-traffic chaos. You don’t have to be gentle – the Purist Plus can handle it.

Magnetic closure with FidLock, secure, fast, almost a bit addictive

For the closure, the Purist Plus uses a magnetic fastener from FidLock. That may sound like a minor detail at first, but it makes a surprisingly big difference in everyday life. The closure almost pulls itself into the right position and snaps securely into place. To open it, you only need a short, targeted movement.

Especially when you’re wearing gloves or need to move quickly, this closure is a real advantage. No fumbling, no “Where’s the buckle now?”. Once you’ve used it, you’ll probably never want anything else.

Luggage rack mount included, ready to use right away

The Red Rebane Purist Plus 2-in-1 bike backpack comes with an integrated luggage rack mount. You don’t need to retrofit anything or buy anything extra to use it on your bike. Just attach it, let it click into place, and ride off.

The combination of the stable back panel and the KLICKfix mount ensures that the backpack stays securely on the bike even when fully loaded. This way you can shift the weight from your back to the luggage rack without sacrificing the comfort of a backpack at your destination.

Handcrafted in Schwerin, short supply chains, small footprint

The Purist Plus is handcrafted in Schwerin. That’s not a marketing phrase, it literally means: people work on this product, checking seams, materials and details. This type of production allows for a level of care that is different from standard mass production.

At the same time, the ecological footprint is deliberately kept small. 90% of the raw materials used come from Germany and the Netherlands. Short delivery routes, transparent origin, less unnecessary transport. If sustainability matters to you, this concept fits the bill quite well.
