I think we can all agree that baskets are rad, but why not take your basket to the next level with a Wizard Works Alakazam Basket Bag? With it’s expanding capacity and super quick attachment to the bike, Alakazam is the best companion for around town errands. Out in the wild, you have an amazingly secure and easy to access bag that puts other bikepacking bags to shame. If you?re a throw and go kinda person, perhaps basketpacking is for you?
Available in two sizes to fit two of our favourite baskets: the Wald 137 and the Manivelle Basket, we also offer a Custom option to fit the Wald 139.
The rolltop design means the Alakazam can hold huge loads, but we know that sometimes you want to carry something a little bit bigger, like a pizza? of four of them! The included “Pizza Straps” make attaching even the biggest load a breeze. Foam padding on the lower section of the bag provides a little bit of cushion to protect your things. A one-piece floating liner means the Alakazam is the most weatherproof bag we make.

"...I think it?s a well executed bag that is equally suited for rides to the grocery store as it is for longer bikepacking trips on gravel roads and doubletrack."

I just Received my Alakazam and I could not be more pleased. The bag is perfect. It fits my manivelle basket exactly. The attachment system is simple and secure and maked taking it on and off really easy.
The quality is what ive come to expect from dealing with a small operation, but the wonderful service and communication I received was NOT! I want to say Harry, and Wizard Works went above and beyond, but im pretty sure this is just how they roll.
I ordered a bag and it was MADE two days later.(AND in the mail!) Shipping from England to the US was insanely cheap (like cheaper than most domestic shipping stateside) and ended up getting here much faster than I could have imagined. If not for customs, I think the whole process including production would have taken less than a week.
The great customer service I received was very unexpected and the best purchasing experience ive had within the bike industry.
Thanks Harry, and Wizard Works. Keep it up!

Nicest bike bag I have ever bought in terms of aesthetics, build, everything.

I use it for commuting, touring, backpacking and even when on vacation for a few days without my bike ! Water resistance is pretty good and it’s really handy to use. It matches my other wizard bags really well. Relly I’m in love with it !

Superb bag! Love the quality of workmanship and materials (I’ve got a camo / coyote combo), but also that it’s so cavernous due to the roll-top. Def recommend, and will be saving up for a matching Shazam.

Looks great and it’s beautifully put together. Baskets are the way forward and having a good bag keeps everything dry and clean and prevents stuff from rattling around and getting damaged.
My Alakazam got a proper soak test on the first ride when I got caught in the worst rain (and snow). Everything in the main compartment stayed nice and dry. It’s so great having a bag big enough to carry everything I could possibly need on a Winter lockdown ride in Scotland: tools, spares, snacks, a flask of coffee and a cosy jacket. I can’t wait to take it touring and really put it to the test.
I chose this bag over others because it has so many clever features, like the rear pockets that you can just shove things into without opening the bag, the secret straps for holding big items down, and the carry strap (bought too much at Tesco? sling the Alakazam over your shoulder and put the extras in the basket). I’m a total believer. Get one.
