5+ Year Review: Topeak MTX Bicycle Trunk Bag DXP

Since I've had this trunk bag for well over 5 years, I thought I'd give it a review and talk about how it's held up over thousands of miles of work commutes. Note: the panniers really make this bag super useful. Topeak DXP Bicycle Trunk Bag on Amazon: amzn.to/3u3gigM

I note that you have the fixed rack. I have this bag together with the rack that clamps to the seat post. No matter how tight the clamp is on the seat post, it keeps moving side to side.
The other thing to be aware of is that getting on and off the bike is far more difficult with the MTX bag in place.

Hope you've gotten as much use out of you bag as I have!

My left ear liked this.

[@laxmannate07]

I have the same setup. It’s great.

Thanks for review!. Just wondering.. what if it rains..

[@AboutaMinuteVideos]

Thanks for watching. For heavy rain, I'd probably go with something that rolls up at the top, like the Ortlieb back-roller panniers.

Sadly, the new version has the main compartment into yellow.. Though it's easy to see small stuff inside the crevices.. It's very easy to get dirty if your got OCD..

[@AboutaMinuteVideos]

Huh, that's good to know. I'll have to check out the change the next time I see one to see how it looks. Thanks for the info!

[@ValleysOfSaturn]

Good point! Yellow color on the inside completely turns me off! :'-(

What size is your laptop? I've got a 16" MacBook Pro. Would like to buy this bag if it would fit.

Curious to ask how well it fits a helmet

[@AboutaMinuteVideos]

Good question. I've never tried it, but some reviewers on amazon say their helmets fit. www.amazon.com/Topeak-Trunk-Bicycle-Molded-Panels/product-reviews/B000ZKES0S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_kywd?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=1&filterByKeyword=fit+helmet

It makes noise on every pothole on the road

[@AboutaMinuteVideos]

Not really noticed that with mine, but maybe I'm just lucky and have smoother roads on my route. Thanks for watching.
