The smallest canister in the Tesseract family, and the one people end up owning several of. Five litres weighs about 5 kg full — light enough to handle one-handed, and small enough that two or three fit where a single 20-litre can would not. At 80 mm thick it slides into gaps that larger cans cannot use: alongside a box, against a roll cage, in the space left over after everything else is loaded. Construction is the same as the bigger sizes — relief surfaces and sharp edges that stiffen the walls, BASIC quick-release fastening, filler spout and locking ring included. Empty weight is 1.2 kg. SKU: Tes5L Topping up rather than refuelling: the litre or two that gets you to the pump, carried without thinking about it. On group rides it is the size everyone can lift and pass around. Two or three of these distributed across a machine also balance better than a single heavy can on one side — worth considering if the riding is technical. For longer routes the same design comes in 10 litres and 20 litres. Universal, through the BASIC quick-release system — it mounts on Tesseract boxes, racks and platforms set up for those fasteners.Tesseract 5-Litre Expedition Canister
