LTL Frame Bag Fit Gallery: Small LTL Bag
The small LTL Frame Bag was initially designed to fit bikes with space behind the headtube. Though we developed the larger bag initially, we found a smaller size was required to squeeze into frames that didn't have quite as much space.
The limiting factor? We needed it to be capable of carrying a full size 29" tube, ideally without any unsightly bulges. While it can't squeeze in as much as the larger size, carrying a Turbolito or similar TPU tube is an option that takes less space in the bag so you can add levers and a multi-tool or gels. We find a conventional tube an easier option, as we keep a bag strapped to every bike in the quiver, but plan to eventually replace our regular tubes with TPU tubes to save weight.

Version 2.0
The current versions of the LTL frame bags are the second edition. Compared to our first generation, the sizing is slightly larger, measuring 7.25" L x 3.5" H x 1.75" D. The Turbo Edition is the same bag with an upgraded zipper pull and a new patch logo that is attached with velcro so it can be oriented right side up regardless of how and where the frame bag is mounted on the bike.
The Revel Rascal has plenty of room for a frame bag. This bike has a small bag strapped to it, but it looks like the large would also fit quite well.
2020/2021 Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon, size large
The Propain Ekano 1 AL fits a small bag well!
Scott Strike eMTB with a small bag mounted.
This Specialized Enduro has a small frame bag strapped to the top of the top tube but it appears to have plenty of room on the bottom of the top tube - we'll work on getting a photo of one next time we see one on the trail!
A small bag is a snug fit on the Santa Cruz Bronson MX. Adding a Wolftooth B-rad water bottle relocation rail would be a solution for adding just enough room to easily access the Fidlock bottle, pictured here.
Size medium Transition Relay eMTB.
The Transition Relay doesn't have a lot of space on the inside of the frame to mount a frame bag, but the small bag works well on the top tube.
Fits, v1.0 LTL Frame Bag
2020 Norco Sight Carbon, size large. We managed a large frame bag with a small (Camelbak) water bottle, but it was snug. The small frame bag fits with a bit of room.
2020 Norco Sight Carbon, Size Medium. The medium frame loses a good amount of room in the front triangle, but our second favorite mounting location fits the small very well. We tested a two strap setup and it looks clean.
BMC Trailfox, size medium. Not enough room in the front triangle, but it fits well regardless.
