Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

The Rapha Explore Top Tube Bag - Long provides increased storage capacity while keeping ride essentials within easy reach. With an additional 150mm of length compared to the standard model, it's ideal for carrying larger items such as nutrition, electronics, tools, batteries, or an extra layer without compromising access while riding.

Constructed from durable nylon with PU and TPU coatings, the bag offers excellent water resistance to help protect contents from rain, mud, and trail spray. Its one-handed opening allows quick access while on the move, making it particularly useful during endurance rides, gravel adventures, and bikepacking trips.

The tapered profile helps minimise knee contact despite the increased length, while the secure Hypalon strap system keeps the bag firmly mounted to the bike. Designed to sit neatly along the top tube, it provides stable, accessible storage without affecting handling.
