It mounted perfectly to my fork with the Vario Base and held my dry bag tight over rough gravel. The locking mechanism feels super solid, and the included straps make it easy to secure odd-shaped gear. This thing adds real flexibility to any setup."" When your adventure demands more space than standard bags can handle, the Fidlock TWIST Universal Connector XL delivers. Designed for serious bikepackers, this heavy-duty mount combines Fidlock’s trusted magnetic-mechanical locking technology with a robust cargo plate and Restrap’s fast straps for reliable gear transport. Mount it on your bike frame using the TWIST Bike Base or pair it with the Vario Base for fork-mounted loads. The XL connector handles larger items—like sleeping bags, air mattresses, and dry bags—without sacrificing security or accessibility. With mechanical locking for extra holding strength and multiple strap positions for custom fits, it transforms unused bike space into efficient, stable storage. Durable, adjustable, and designed for rough terrain, the TWIST Universal Connector XL makes every expedition more capable—letting you carry more without compromising your ride."
