The small LTL Frame Bag was initially designed to fit bikes with space behind the headtube. Though we developed the larger bag initially, we found a smaller size was required to squeeze into frames that didn't have quite as much space.
The limiting factor? We needed it to be capable of carrying a full size 29" tube, ideally without any unsightly bulges. While it can't squeeze in as much as the larger size, carrying a Turbolito tube is an option offers some that space back so you can add levers and a multi-tool if desired. We find a conventional tube an easier option, as we keep a bag strapped to every bike in the quiver.

The v2.0 edition is a tad larger, measuring 7.25" L x 3.5" H x 1.75" D.
2020/2021 Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon, size large
Propain Ekano 1 AL.
2020 Norco Sight Carbon, size large. We managed a large frame bag with a small (Camelbak) water bottle, but it was snug. The small frame bag fits with a bit of room.
2020 Norco Sight Carbon, Size Medium. The medium frame loses a good amount of room in the front triangle, but our second favorite mounting location fits the small very well. We tested a two strap setup and it looks clean.
BMC Trailfox, size medium. Not enough room in the front triangle, but it fits well regardless.
]]>We've run them on everything from hardtails to enduro bikes to even DH bikes. (yes, DH bikes - it's nice to have a tool, and a soft flask fits in the large)
Here are a few bikes in the wild that we found paired extremely well with the large LTL Frame Bag. It's certainly not limited to these models, and we'll add more as we photograph them, but hopefully helps provide an idea of what the frame bag could look like strapped on your ride.

Specialized Stumpjumper EVO S4 with large frame bag.
Specialized Turbo Levo SL, S3 size
Canyon Lux, Size Large
YT Jeffsey, size large. Not a lot of room for a bottle, but plenty of space for the large bag.
Specialized Enduro Carbon, S2(?) With the SWAT box and a frame bag, this rider is set. He's running the two-strap setup, with a bit of gaffer's tape under the straps to provide friction and keep the movement of the bag to a minimum. We've found this setup to work well!
Canyon Spectral (2019) Size Medium
Specialized Stumpjumper EVO 27.5 Alloy, size S2. (2019/20). No SWAT box on the alloy... no problem.
Santa Cruz Tallboy, size large
Ragley Marley - the best part of hardtails is you can fit a bag practically anywhere you want.
Size medium Transition Patrol carbon on-coil. The rider wanted the capacity of the larger bag, and found it fits on top very well. Not pictured- he runs a small zip tie around the post instead of the strap saying its "super low profile".
