Ridge
Strategic Product Design (APD1)
2026
Ridge is a bike-bag solution designed to help young outdoor enthusiasts use their bikes as basecamps for activities like trail running. Alongside trail-specific features—such as compartmentalised storage and a dedicated external pouch for dirty clothes—its core innovation is the Ridge Lock module. This dual-cable system allows users to securely lock both the bike and the bag's contents to outdoor anchor points. Inspired by the Thule Tact line, Ridge utilizes a hybrid construction. A hard-shell side provides extra protection and serves as a sturdy anchor for the lock, while soft-good materials offer the flexibility needed for dynamic packing.
