Review: Kuat Dirtbag Bike Mount

I have a problem to solve, and the Kuat Dirtbag is the solution. OK, two problems but all fat bike related. I need to carry a fat bike that has a suspension fork or to carry my fat bike when it is all loaded for bikepacking. Most racks hit the fork leg of a suspension fat bike. And when you have bags attached to your fork they can interfere with the rack as well. The Kuat Dirtbag solves these problems and is a steal at less than $40.

I mounted mine in the Trail Rail of my Jeep JT/Gladiator. I have 3 DirtBags mounted on there, two fat bike (15x150mm) and one 15×110 for my regular bike, because I have 4 seats in the Jeep and one day might have 4 friends to ride with.

But don’t get confused these work great for regular bikes too. They sell all sizes of mounts. The 110×15 is great if you have to drive miles up a washboarded road to get to the trailhead.

They can attach to just about anything and anywhere. I have a Kuat NV rear rack which is amazing for my mountain bikes, but this solves the suspension fat and bikepacking rig problems. For less than $40 you can’t beat the Dirtbag.

If you need an economical way to carry a bike, or heck a way to carry a fully loaded touring bike or bikepacking rig, look no further than the dirtbag by Kuat.

Sometimes you just need a workhorse that’s going to get down to business and get the job done. This little Dirtbag is as dependable as they come. Affordable without being cheap, and easily bolted to just about anything.
