Old Man Mountain Manzanita Cradle w/ 9 Liter Top Load Bag

The Manzanita Cradle was designed in partnership with Salsa, building on the success of their legendary Salsa Anything Cradle. The Manzanita Cradle is a bracket mounted, rigid handlebar cradle built for all riding conditions from rugged shredpacking to champagne gravel. The design provides ample, unobstructed mounting options for lights, computers, trackers, and more.

Available with the Manzanita Top Load or Side Load bags the Manzanita Cradle is fit for all types of bikes with 31.8 or 35mm handlebars.

100% Waterproof Bags

Made from TPU fabric with Hypalon reinforcements, fully welded seams, and a roll top enclosure. You can be fully confident that your gear will remain dry and protected, even if you don’t quite make that stream crossing.

Side or Top Load Bags

Available with an 11L Side Load bag, more popular on flat bar mountain bikes or a 9L Top Load bag that fits perfectly on drop bar road and gravel bikes.

Quick Mount

Simple hooks on the cradle and loops on the bag to hang it on the cradle with ease! You can then let go of the bag to easily strap it securely to the Manzanita Cradle. No overly complicated mounts, just elegant and simple solutions.

All Terrain Ready

The Manzanita Cradle is built to be super secure and is built for whatever riding you want to take on. Whether rowdy shredpacking or traversing around the world, it’s ready for anything. 

Accessory Mounts

Handlebar mounting space is precious! The top of the Manzanita Cradle has 6 mounting points for accessories like lights, computers, trackers, and more.
