Manzanita Cradle and Bag - 11L Side Load Bag

Old Man Mountain Manzanita Cradle and Bag - 11L Side Load Bag pairs a stable handlebar cradle with a purpose-built waterproof roll-top bag for riders who want quick-access storage up front without compromising control. Designed in partnership with Salsa and built on the proven Salsa Anything Cradle layout, it’s a smart fit for flat-bar bikepacking, gravel exploration, and day rides that still demand secure mounting on rough terrain.

The 11L side-load format makes packing and access easier at the bars, while angle adjustability helps maintain tire clearance on smaller frames without forcing an awkward mounting position. Integrated accessory mounts keep lights and computers where they belong, even with a loaded bag.
