[continued from the previous post] The Peloton Asphalt’s upgrade over its regular counterpart, the Peloton, goes beyond the facade, we actually made a blogpost listing all the differences between the two, but we are highlighting some of them in this post. Starting from: the 6061 grade aluminum parts in place of some of the POM parts and the addition of veg-tan leather puller and embellishments. Slightly larger capacity due to depth, which can be compressed when not needed; more external carry configuration, and last but not least: magnets in place of velcro. The last one is a quality of life improvement. In this latest version, we even improved the magnets on the flap –which opens into the quick front organizer pockets, with a latch system, making this even more secure than the previous version as the latch prevents accidental opening when the organizer pockets are filled to the brim. Still as quick and convenient, operates easily (one-handed opening and closing), and still faster and quieter than velcro.
As we’re already knee-deep in the Asphalt, let's dive even deeper and talk about some of the lesser-known features this bag has, that you might not know. Starting with: luggage slot, all variants of the Peloton rolltop actually have a luggage slot. Combine this with your rolling luggage on your travels, and your shoulders will thank you. Speaking of shoulders, there’s also a slot for your glasses or sunnies on one of the shoulder straps, keeping them secure and easily accessible. On the other strap, there’s a D-ring that does double duty as a bottle opener. Lastly, did you know that the external carry straps can also be used as mounting points to use the Peloton Asphalt as a seat bag on motorcycles!? As demonstrated by Chris from Union Garage in the picture above. Or, if your setup happens to have a sissy bar, you can also mount it there. Again, especially useful on those long tours, giving your shoulders some rest.
