Description
The MIK Utility Trunk Bag offers simple and secure on-bike storage that's easy to install and remove without the need for tools. It has multiple pockets to keep you organised, a durable design with reflective materials and built-in rain cover to keep you and your gear safe and secure in all conditions.

MIK - Mounting is Key - compatibility allows you to mount MIK boot bags or accessories securely and in seconds. MIK racks and bags feature a unique keyed installation system that locks your bags to your rack to prevent theft but still makes it easy to remove them when you need to.

Simply slide the MIK trunk onto a MIK rack. Once you hear a click, the installation is complete. The trunk is now securely fitted to the rack. To remove the bag, simply insert the key (which can be stored in the trunk while you are riding) and press. Once pressed the bag can be removed.

Bontrager MIK Utility Trunk Bag review, road.cc, September 2022:
"If you're an organised type, Bontrager has you covered with the MIK Utility Trunk Bag. It has the obvious large main compartment, plus four side pockets (each side has an expandable large pocket with a smaller flat pocket outboard of it). On top there's a soft-lined pocket for your sunglasses and an elastic cord for a jacket, plus there's a mesh pocket inside the lid.

Mounting the MIK Utility Trunk Bag to a compatible rack is a doddle: you just slide the bag into place on a MIK-compatible rack until it clicks. To release it, you use the included MIK stick to push the latch open. You don't even need the stick; you can just reach under the bag and push the catch open.

Pull the bag off the bike and there's a built-in handle to carry it around, and Bontrager throws in a shoulder strap that clips into D-rings on the bag for a comfier, hands-free carry.

Once the MIK Utility Trunk Bag is in place, it's not going anywhere. The mechanism's grip on the rack is tenacious and the bag is very stable as a result.

The Bontrager MIK Utility Trunk Bag swallows a lot of stuff for its nominal 13-litre capacity. Jackets, spares, food, other clothing and more all vanished into its TARDIS-like interior. It helps that the large side pockets are very flexible so can really be crammed with extra stuff if necessary.

This is a very good bag for cyclists who need to carry a moderate amount of stuff and want to be able to quickly and easily fit and detach a bag from the bike. That's a pretty big range of use cases: commuter and other utility cyclists, countryside explorers, touring-style day trippers, and audax riders.

Conclusion
Overall, if you're willing to commit to the MIK system, this is a very handy bag that'll swallow everything you need for a day ride, and can be removed and fitted easily and quickly.

Verdict
Excellent rack-top bag for the MIK click-on mounting system
