Although it's a little cluttered in the front section of the bike everything does fit well. Center straw fed hydration container with a bottle cage on top allows for up to 50-54 oz's fluid depending on the size of the bottle in the cage. Bike computer mount right where it belongs and some custom carbon arm rest pads.
