Description

The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V is a rear saddle mount for triathlon bikes. It clamps to the V section of your saddle rails, carries one or two bottles up to 750 cc each along with your race spares, and takes up to 2.5 kg. The pressed aluminium frame weighs 97 g, and its shape forms a hook, so the bike hangs from the transition rack by the saddle.

What it fits

The Tri-Backup Pro V is made for saddles where the rails narrow into a V behind the seat clamp, which is where it bolts on. It works with CrMo, titanium and carbon rails, and comes with separate rail clamps for standard and carbon rails. If your rails run parallel all the way back, Topeak's Tri-Backup Pro I is the version for you.

Behind the saddle it builds out into a full race setup. Add one or two bottle cages, including Topeak's Tri-Cage, and it takes the rest of the Tri-BackUp and Ninja family:

  • Tri-BackUp Air Station, TubeBag and TireBag
  • Ninja TC Road, Ninja Pouch+ Road and Ninja CO2+

That means a spare tube, CO2 and a couple of bottles for a long course day, from the Busselton bike leg to a hot Cairns Ironman, all sitting out of the wind behind you rather than on the frame.

How it attaches

Four rail clamps and threadlock-treated bolts fix the Tri-Backup Pro V to the saddle rails, and the recommended torque is 3.5 Nm. Tighten the bolts evenly, side to side, so the mount sits square. Two angle positions let you tilt the bottles to suit your setup, and the bottle cage extensions and anchors in the box let you position the cages where you want them. Set it up in the garage before race week and it is one less job in transition.

Weight and material

Pressed aluminium, 97 g, and 11.8 x 8 x 6.9 cm. It is a small, sturdy bracket that carries a 2.5 kg load behind the saddle and saves time at T1 and T2, because racking the bike by the saddle hook is quicker than wrestling a wheel into a rack.

FAQ's

Will the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V fit my saddle?
The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V clamps to the V section of the saddle rails, where they narrow behind the seat clamp. It fits CrMo, titanium and carbon rails, with separate clamps supplied for standard and carbon rails.

What is the difference between the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V and Pro I?
The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V mounts to the V section of the saddle rails, while the Tri-Backup Pro I mounts to the parallel section. Choose the Tri-Backup Pro V when your saddle rails narrow into a V behind the clamp.

How many bottles does the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V carry?
The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V carries one or two bottles up to 750 cc each, in bottle cages fitted to the mount. The total load on the Tri-Backup Pro V, bottles and spares together, is 2.5 kg.

Are bottle cages included with the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V?
No. The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V comes with rail clamps, bolts, bottle cage extensions and anchors. Add one or two cages of your choice, such as Topeak's Tri-Cage, to carry bottles on the Tri-Backup Pro V.

What accessories fit the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V?
The Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V takes the Tri-BackUp Air Station, TubeBag and TireBag, the Ninja TC Road, Ninja Pouch+ Road and Ninja CO2+, and the Tri-Cage bottle cage, so spares and bottles all ride behind the saddle.

How tight should the Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V bolts be?
Topeak recommends 3.5 Nm for the Tri-Backup Pro V rail clamp bolts. Tighten the bolts evenly from side to side so the Tri-Backup Pro V sits square on the saddle rails.
