100% waterproof 40-litre Duffle Bag, designed to fit any bike
British motorcycle accessory specialist, Pyramid, has added a 40-litre, 100% waterproof Duffle Bag to their range, designed to keep kit completely dry, even in the worst British weather.
Pyramid has been producing bodywork to fit bikes of all shapes, sizes and styles since 1986, so it’s no surprise that their new rear bag will fit pretty much any bike you can think of.
The Pyramid Duffle has a tough 500D PVC shell, which is seamless and has heat-sealed external stitching for reliable waterproofing, with no weak points. It’s flexible, making it easy to load and roll-up for storage, and is temperature tested from +70°C to -30°C.
A full width opening and roll-top closure makes it painless to get things in and out, while an Air Release System reduces bulk and ensures the load won’t shift around inside whilst riding.
The four-point strapping system creates a huge amount of flexibility for mounting. Just loop the straps around a luggage rack, frame rail or grab handle – whichever is most suitable – clip the bag in place, then pull down each strap to take up the slack. There are four integrated D-rings for additional strapping, if needed.
When the destination is reached, it takes seconds to unclip the bag and remove it, leaving the four straps on the bike ready for reattachment.
Padded carry handles and a detachable shoulder strap are included for use off the bike. There’s also a handy pocket on the front for holding an ID tag, and reflective elements throughout for added safety on the road.
Unlike fabric bags, the easy-to-clean material means you can keep it looking fresh with just a quick wipe.
The Pyramid 40L Duffle Bag is available in Black or Grey and retails at just £39.99, including VAT, complete with the detachable shoulder strap and four securing straps.

The beauty of the rails is they keep the load stable, secure and away from the rear wheel and chain. They also stop the panniers moving, even during hard riding. When the panniers aren’t needed, the rails can be removed leaving only the clamps behind, and the bike uncluttered.
Lightweight and durable, Pro Blaze Panniers are made from a tough, UV-resistant 1680D Ballistic Fabric. EVA-reinforced sidewalls keep the bags in shape and their contents well protected. Each set comes with removable waterproof inner bags too.

Support Rail

Ventura EVO Rack and Pack system turns Super Meteor into Super Tourer in seconds
Royal Enfield’s Super Meteor 650 has bags of touring potential, but its retro lines are easily ruined by the hardware usually needed to carry luggage.
With Ventura’s EVO Rack, Super Meteor owners can switch between stripped-down cruiser and fully-loaded tourer in seconds, without messing up its custom looks.
Designed to be as discreet as possible, all the EVO Rack needs is the two tailor-made Ventura L-Brackets fixed to existing mounting points on the bike’s frame. The Rack then just slots into place and is ready for loading.
Super Meteor 650 EVO Rack
Once fitted, it can hold any Pack from the Ventura range: from the compact 12-litre EVO Jet Stream, ideal for day trips and Sunday cruises; to the massive 60-litre tour pack, which can easily swallow a week’s-worth of clothing and kit.
All the Packs are made from a tough and water-resistant laminated ballistic fabric, and have practical features like wide openings, glove-friendly zip-pulls, and carry handles for hassle-free use on and off the bike.
The ‘slide-on/clip-in’ sleeve-fitting system means they’re quick and easy to get on and off; no fiddly fitting procedure or complex straps and cords. It also stops the Pack from shifting around when riding.
Super Meteor 650 Grab Handle
The EVO Rack carries the Pack well clear of the rear wheel, and doesn’t add extra width like panniers do. It swivels 180 degrees, so the load can be positioned directly behind the rider, or over the rear mudguard when a passenger is on-board.
When luggage isn’t needed, both the Pack and Rack can be removed in seconds, leaving only the subtle L-Brackets in place and the Super Meteor’s rear end completely uncluttered. An optional Grab Handle (£25.95 including VAT) can be fitted in its place for an extra practical touch.
L-Brackets retail at £187.95 and the Evo Rack costs £96.95 (both including VAT).
A typical set up for the Super Meteor – L-Brackets, EVO Rack and the 22-litre EVO Jet-Stream Pack – retails at £493.85 including VAT. Once the L-Brackets and Rack are in place, the rider can opt for any of Ventura’s EVO packs.

The transalpine motorbike and rider equipment company shows exactly how you can add more load capacity to your sport or naked bike without compromising on aesthetics.
Sometimes when you think of motorbike accessories there is a conception that they are large aluminium panniers that take away from the natural aesthetics of the bike. This can seem like a drawback for all sport bike owners who need to add some cargo capacity to their machine. But for 45 years, GIVI has been making motorbike gear fit all types of bikes. It’s done this by designing different product ranges to suit every type of bike. In this case, GIVI has created a set of bags for those who appreciate speed and dynamism, which contribute to comfortable sport riding thanks to their compact and aerodynamic design and high load capacity.
GIVI works to offer greater comfort and practicality to the rider both on long and everyday journeys, without neglecting the aesthetics of the bike. An example of this is the Sport-T range, designed for all sport bike owners who want to add cargo capacity without sacrificing the style of their machine.
The bags in the Sport-T range are made to withstand sports riding. For this reason, they are thermoformed and made of high-quality materials that comply with Reach regulations, such as 1200D polyester, high strength PVC, PU and thermoformed EVA coated with anti-scratch PU, ensuring durability and protection of your belongings.
ST611
To gain load capacity in an easy and comfortable way on a sport bike we can look to a tank bag. The Sport-T rangeincludes the ST611+ with 6-litre capacity and Tanklock attachment system, which allows you to easily attach and remove it from the bike. It also features a rain cover, a window with a smartphone pocket, a carrying handle and reflective print for increased visibility.
One of the accessories that fits best into the sport bike lines are saddle bags. GIVI offers the ST610B, with a compact and sporty design that fits the silhouette of the motorbikeperfectly. It is equipped with the Seatlock system, which, like the previous one, allows you to put it on and take it off easily and comfortably. It has a waterproof cover, an ergonomic handle, an adjustable shoulder strap and reflective elements for greater visibility.
ST609
When it comes to taking longer journeys on a sport bike, the GIVI ST609 expandable side bags ensures the highest load capacity, with a capacity of 25 litres each. Their aerodynamic design, together with thermoformed material construction make them ideal for carrying your belongings safely. Their rigid yet lightweight construction and Easylock fastening system allows for quick attachment and detachment from the bike, while the water-resistant heat-sealed liner keeps it waterproof. It also includes internal elastics for load stability, a secondary compartment in the inner lid, a handle for manual carrying and an internal mesh pocket. These expandable side bags are the perfect choice for the sport bike enthusiast looking for functionality and style on the road.
A good companion for everyday use or for carrying a small amount of luggage in a sports car is the ST606 backpack, with a 22-litre capacity and a thermoformed lid. This backpack combines a sleek design with great stability even at high speeds. Features include two side pockets, one of which can hold a 1-litre bottle, side zips with reflective covers, a breathable padded backrest, a side strap for carrying a helmet, and chest and waist straps for extra stability.
ST608+
Finally, there are the leg bags, one of the most used accessories by bikers, as they are both versatile and functional. Within the Sport-T range there is the ST608+, with a capacity of 3 litres. This bag is attached by means of an adjustable and removable waist strap, with the option of attaching it directly to the trousers, along with other straps on the leg that are elastic and adjustable, with a closure that prevents the bag from turning during the ride. It also includes three internal pockets, one mesh pocket, one zipped pocket and one specific pocket for your smartphone.

Once again the transalpine brand had a considerable presence at both fairs this year, where it showcased its new products.
GIVI turned 45 years old this year and wanted to celebrate it in style at two of the most renowned events in the world of two wheels: the Motorcycle Live Show and EICMA. It pulled this off through an incredible stand, in which it has exhibited all its products, among which there are some remarkable new items that will be available next year. And on the occasion of this important anniversary, it launched a special edition of its top-of-the-range top case, the Maxia 5, with white covers, symbolising the brand’s bright future, which EICMA visitors were able to see for the first time.
GIVI was founded in 1978 by motorcycle racer Giuseppe Visenzi. Visenzi’s great passion and determination for the motorbike industry were reflected in the careful and meticulous design and manufacturing of the brand’s accessories from the very beginning. This resulted in the transalpine firm rapidly expanding nationally and internationally, to become one of the most influential and innovative producers on the current scene, with a catalogue of high quality products that adapt to the needs of all motorcyclists. It boasts of a list that continues to grow with different newbies this year, which were presented at some of the most important events in the world of two wheels: the Motorcycle Live Show and EICMA.
For a long time, the Italian brand has been participating each year in the Motorcycle Live Show, a fair held in Birmingham, which took place this November, from the 18th to the 26th. It was more than a week during which two-wheel enthusiasts, as well as professionals from the sector, specialised journalists and even internationally renowned riders, were able to see first-hand what’s new in the industry for 2024. As usual, GIVI had its own stand, decorated with 45th anniversary motifs, where some of the new products that were also taken to EICMA were exhibited, with the Maxia 5 being the chief protagonist.
Visitors were also able to enjoy an extensive display of the brand’s helmets, including some of the new graphics that will be available next year. This was a huge attraction, along with several fully equipped motorbikes on display, such as Honda’s CRF300 Rally and a Honda Transalp, as well as a specific space for the bike range.
GIVI at EICMA
The Italian brand chose this important trade fair in Milan to begin the celebration of its 45 years in the industry. It was a commemoration that revolved around its top of the range top case, the Maxia 5, as a symbol of the evolution of its cases through all its years of experience. To this end, they presented a new version with different coloured top cases and a special anniversary edition in white.
What’s more, its spectacular stand decorated with 45th anniversary graphics showcased its latest launches, complete with an eclectic selection of products designed to meet all the needs of motorcyclists, which are the result of years of experience and research. Among its new products are the softbags which form the X-Line range, the XL09, the T525 top bag for carrying pets on a motorbike, the Arena top case and all the new graphics for its models of helmets.

Versatile luggage rack transforms Tracer 7 for touring
Ventura’s EVO Luggage Rack is now available for the latest generation Tracer 7, unlocking the popular middleweight Yamaha’s touring potential.
Whether heading out for a long distance tour, a weekend away or just the big weekly shop, a Ventura EVO Rack adds carrying capacity, yet can be removed in seconds when it isn’t needed.
As easy to set up as it is to use, all the EVO Rack needs is the two tailor-made and discreet Ventura L-Brackets, fixed to existing mounting points on the Tracer’s subframe. The Rack then just slots into place and is ready for loading.
Once it’s fitted, the rider can then choose whichever EVO Pack suits the journey, from the handy 12-litre EVO Jet Steam, ideal for essentials like keys, snacks, phone and wallet, right through to a massive 60-litre tour pack.
Pack sits over pillion seat while riding solo
Hardwearing and practical, EVO Packs are made from water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric to keep contents well protected. They feature wide openings and glove-friendly zip-pulls, for easy use on and off the bike. They’re also aerodynamically-shaped to minimise impact on airflow.
A sleeve-fitting system makes for hassle-free stops too; the Pack just slides on and clips in place. It also keeps the load from shifting when riding, without having to resort to additional straps or cords.
The Pack is carried well clear of the rear wheel and doesn’t add extra width, like panniers do, making filtering through traffic and slotting into tight parking bays much more doable. As an added bonus, the EVO Rack swivels, so it can be positioned directly behind the rider or over the bike’s tail unit when a passenger is on-board.
Pack sits on Rack when carrying a passenger
When luggage isn’t needed, both Pack and Rack can be removed in seconds, leaving only the L-Brackets in place and the Tracer’s rear end uncluttered. An optional Grab Handle (£25.95 including VAT) can be fitted in its place for an extra practical touch.
L-Brackets and an EVO Rack for the 2023-on Tracer 7 retail at £263.90 including VAT. The 22-litre EVO-22 Jet-Stream Pack pictured sells for £208.95.

There is a USB-A charging port there that enables charging via the on-board network with a charging power of up to 15 W (5 V / 3 A). Another USB-A port is located in the top case. In addition, the integrated lighting in the Vario cases and in the top case makes loading and unloading at night very comfortable.
Another new feature is that the Vario cases and the top case are integrated into the standard radio central locking system of the new BMW R 1300 GS. In addition, the Vario luggage system also includes mechanical keys with which the cases can be opened and closed. For example, if the radio key is lost.
Infinitely variable volume adjustment to make the best used of all storage space.
The volume adjustment of the Vario cases and Vario top case can now be infinitely adjusted by handwheel (previously two steps) to make the new BMW R 1300 GS only as wide or as high as necessary in view of the required storage space.
In total, the new Vario luggage system offers up to 97 litres of capacity. Expanding the Vario cases increases the luggage compartment volume from approx. 49 l by a maximum of approx. 5.5 l each. The storage volume of the top case increases from 28 to a maximum of 36 litres.
Further luggage can be stored on the cases and top case using practical lashing eyes.
The Vario luggage system can for example store the BMW Helmet 7 (Vario case left and Vario top case) and the BMW Helmet GS fits in the Vario top case. The maximum load per Vario case is 10 kg per side, the maximum load of the Vario top case is set at 6 kg. A total load of 26 kg can therefore be loaded.
In addition, you can also stow luggage on the outside of the Vario cases and on the Vario top case. Up to 1 kg can be attached to the side of each Vario case and a further 2 kg to the Vario top case. Tension straps are recommended for securing additional luggage. Lashing eyes are fitted on the lid of the Vario top case for this purpose. There are also lashing eyes on the sides of the Vario cases.
Practical Vario inner bags for Vario cases and Vario top cases available as original BMW Motorrad accessories.
As part of the original BMW Motorrad accessories range, additional Vario inner bags are available for the Vario luggage system of the new BMW R 1300 GS, both for the Vario cases and for the Vario top case. The volumes of the inner cases are:
– Left case: 21.5 – 28.9 l.
– Right case: 21.3 – 26.8 l.
– Top case: 24.8 – 33 l.
For each Vario case there is a large main inner bag and a smaller additional bag that can be placed loosely on top of the main bag in the case. The additional bag can also be used as a small handbag, for example for stopping by at a café. The main bag for the left
Vario case has a padded storage compartment for electronic devices with cable outlet to the USB charging port. The Vario top case inner bag consists of a large main bag with up to 33 l of volume.
The maximum permissible speed for riding with the Vario luggage system is 180 km/h. The new Vario luggage system is not suitable for previous models such as the BMW R 1250 GS and others.
The transalpine company’s project offers tips, first-person experiences, advice, routes and everything you need to share your passion for two wheels through its updated website
GIVI, the transalpine motorbike and motorcyclist equipment company, has been making life easier for two-wheeled users for 45 years, accompanying and inspiring them at all times. They do this not only through their accessories but also other actions, such as GIVI Explorer, a specific project for the most adventurous riders. This initiative, which was born 10 years ago from the “Explore. Enjoy” philosophy with the intention of paying tribute to everything that makes a motorbike trip so special, is being renewed in 2023 with a redesign of its website.
GIVI Explorerwas born out of the “Explore. Enjoy” philosophy, with which the transalpine firm wants to inspire all bikers to travel, explore, cross evocative landscapes and share its passion for motorbikes. All this went into the first GIVI Tour that took place in 2013 in Patagonia. Since then, the brand has worked hard to offer the best motorbike experiences and showcase them on its website. To celebrate their tenth anniversary in style this year, they have taken a trip through the incredible Dolomites with a stop at the legendary Stelvio Pass, the iconic mountain pass recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as completely overhauling their website.
Get to know other riders’ experiences
The GIVI Explorer website has a section that narrates and highlights the experiences lived by other two-wheel users. What’s more, each of them includes a map with all the places they visited, the equipment they were carrying and a multitude of photos, so that others can enjoy the same experience.
In addition to all of this, there is a section within the platform called “Are you an explorer?” Through that, all users can share their experiences riding motorbikes to be part of the trips that appear on the website. GIVI Explorer also offers the opportunity to send projects that motorcyclists have in mind so the transalpine firm can help make them a reality.
Top travel tips
Another great advantage of the GIVI Explorer is its extensive tips section for all types of locations and trips on two wheels. This section is divided into three main groups. The first includes tips on how to deal with different situations that may arise on the road, from having to lift the bike, to crossing a river, to riding on dirt roads. The second features recommendations on what equipment to take on the motorbike depending on the place you are going to visit. And the third is advice for each destination, ranging from what documents to carry, what vaccinations to have, whether you need specific health insurance, information on the safety of the countryyou are visiting, fuel tips, the best dates to travel and even options for renting motorbikes at your destination.
Choose your route When travelling to a foreign country that you don’t know so well, it can be difficult to choose the right route. With that in mind, GIVIhas designed asectionwith different itineraries created around the world that can be downloaded to facilitate the adventure for all bikers. These guides are accompanied by comments from other travellers who have done them, along with the equipment they have used, as well as photos and videos.

Versatile Ventura Luggage options for Suzuki’s all-new adventure bike.
Ventura Evo Luggage is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to add luggage capacity to Suzuki’s new V-Strom 800DE. Lighter and less bulky than hard cases, and much more stable than traditional soft bags, it’s ideal for adventure riding.
Setting up is simple: just attach the tailor-made L-Brackets to existing mounting points on the subframe, slot on the Evo Rack and you have a stable and secure platform for any Evo Pack.
Pack sits over pillion seat while riding solo
Ventura’s Packs use a sleeve-fitting system so they just slide on and clip in place. It makes for hassle-free stops and keeps the load from shifting – even when riding off-road.
The Packs can be positioned directly behind the rider, when riding solo, or swivelled over the tail when a passenger is on-board. Both options carry the load well clear of exhausts and the rear wheel and don’t add extra width to the bike, like panniers. It makes tackling tight trails and filtering through traffic much easier, and allows for better weight distribution.
Each Evo Pack is aerodynamically-shaped to minimise impact on airflow – another advantage over side-mounted bags and cases. They come in a range of sizes – from a 12-litre day bag to a 60-litre tour pack – and are made from water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric.
All feature wide openings, glove-friendly zip-pulls and other practical features, for easy use on and off the bike. They’re much lighter than hard cases and easier to store too; another bonus when travelling.
When luggage isn’t needed the Pack and Rack can be removed in seconds, leaving only the L-Brackets in place and the bike uncluttered. An optional Grab Handle (£25.95) can be fitted in its place for an extra practical touch.
L-brackets for the V-Strom 800DE retail for £172.95, Evo Racks are £96.95 and Pack prices start from £126.95.
A full system as pictured – consisting of L-Brackets, Evo Rack and the 22-litre Evo-22 Jet-Stream Pack – costs £478.85 Including VAT

The transalpine motorbike and rider equipment company has everything you need to equip this adventure bike.
GIVI has 45 years of experience in designing equipment. And this experience can be seen in its extensive range of products which meets all the needs of two-wheeled enthusiasts, whatever their ride may be. What’s more, it also has a wide range of accessories specifically designed to fit perfectly with the best-selling motorbikes in their specific sector. One of the benchmarks in the trail/adventure market is the Yamaha Ténéré, for which the Italian brand offers two looks.
The combination of good value for money, elegant design, a good engine and a great chassis make theYamaha Ténéré 700 one of the dominant bikes in the trail world as well as one of the best sellers in our country. Keeping the owners of this amazing bike in mind, GIVI has made a multitude of accessories available that fit the bike like a glove, such as side cases and rear boots that have specific attachments, tank bags, saddlebags and even screens.
A look for off-road adventures
The best companions for the Yamaha Ténéré on road trips are hard cases. Among all the models in GIVI’s extensive range, the best fit for this bike is the Trekker Outback. This set consists of a top case, available in two sizes (58 litres or 42l.), and side cases, which also come in two versions (37l. or 48l.). They have an aluminium structure and internal reinforcements in profiled aluminium. They are also equipped with the new MONOKEY® CAM-SIDE fastening system, a fastening mechanism made of die-cast aluminium and reinforced technopolymer inserts, which offers extra safety.
To complete this look, the Italian brand suggests adding the XL01 and XL03 extensible soft bags, which can be attached by straps on top of the panniers. They are made of polyester, nylon, TPU and an external material highly resistant to UV rays. Its base features an anti-slip coating, which makes them water resistant. That’s not all – they include an external top pocket separate from the main compartment, carry handles and reflective print for increased visibility, among other features.
The ultimate off-road package
The Ténéré is an ideal bike for off-road riding, an activity you don’t want to do unless you are well equipped. For this, GIVI has the Canyon range of bags that are specifically designed for off-road riding and are a perfect match for this Yamaha model. The GRT720 saddlebags, which both have a capacity of 25 litres, are equipped with a Security Lock and feature adjustable top and bottom straps with buckle snap closure to maintain tension. Another option is the GRT723 top bag, which features a capacity of 40 litres, and offers great practicality even during stops, thanks to the ergonomic front handle, which makes it easy to grip and carry.
If you want to go one step further, we recommend adding a tank bag, which is the finishing touch for this set. Within the GIVI catalogue there’s an option designed exclusively to fit the distinctive tank of this bike: the XS320. This accessory includes reflective side prints, a rain cover, an adjustable handle and shoulder strap, a map holder and a zip suitable for attaching a security padlock.
These, and many more GIVI items, provide a boost for motorcycle trips and make any journey on two wheels a more comfortable experience. For more information about this product or any other accessories for your motorcycle visit www.givi.co.uk or call 01327 706220.

Hassle-free carrying capability for Honda’s new generation Hornet
Kiwi motorcycle luggage experts, Ventura, have added Honda’s new CB750 Hornet to their Bike Pack System fitment list. Lightweight, simple to fit and use, the system adds serious carrying capability to the highly-rated roadster.
Perfect for street bikes like the new CB750, Ventura’s Evo System doesn’t need unsightly and bulky racks like hard-luggage. Simply attach the tailor-made L-Brackets to existing subframe mounting points, slot on the Evo Rack and it’s ready for a Pack.
Packs use a sleeve-fitting system so they just slide on and clip in place – much less hassle than traditional soft bags. The rack and sleeve system also means the load won’t shift while riding. The Pack can either be carried over the pillion seat, or behind it when a passenger is on-board.
Made from water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric, Packs have wide openings, glove-friendly zip-pulls and other practical features. They also come in a range of sizes – from a 12-litre day bag to a 60-litre tour pack. All the Packs are designed to have minimal impact on airflow.
The system pictured is an ideal weekend-away set up, featuring the 22-litre Evo-22 Jet-Stream Pack. Priced at £478.85 Including VAT, the kit comes with everything needed – Evo Pack, Evo Rack, Hornet-specific L-Brackets and fitting instructions.
Bought separately, the L-Brackets cost £172.95 and the Evo Rack is £96.95.

Aqua D70 – The “Everything, plus the kitchen sink bag”. Designed for the times when you need that extra bit of space. Also doubles up as the perfect back rest to lean back on whilst you take a well-earned riding break.
Aqua D50 – The weekend bag. Perfect for stashing away all the essentials you need for your weekend adventure.
Carry everything on anything!
Let’s face it, many modern bikes are just luggage-unfriendly. They have tiny rear seats and/or non-existent rear subframes… nothing to rest against and nowhere to attach anything! Try fitting a pair of panniers to half of the new bikes on sale today – it’s a challenge!
But if you need BIG CARRYING CAPACITY, Oxford’s AQUA Duffel bags could be the answer.
They are perfect for:
Sports bikes with tiny rear seats…
Streetfighters with no rear subframe…
Scooters with no open frame to secure luggage to…
Cruisers with little clearance below…
As well as all the usual adventure touring bikes.
If that’s not enough for you, AQUA Duffel bags hug the bike, maximising the stabilising contact points with the bike and, unlike traditional panniers, can’t ‘sag’ in the absence of side panels.
Of course, they still come with Oxford’s unique universal fitting system, allowing you to carry up to 70 litres of luggage with complete peace of mind.
Key Features
Tough PVC tarpaulin duffel bag
Wipe clean, waterproof construction with welded seams
Waterproof roll top closure
Adjustable compression straps for maximum stability
Water resistant zipped external rear pocket
Heat resistant pannier panels
Unique attachment system for motorcycles with underseat security strap
D-rings allow the bag to be securely attached to the motorcycle
100% waterproof and lightweight luggage, with a very versatile attachment system.
SW-Motech’s new SysBag Waterproof Bags redefine how motorcycle luggage works, combining the lightness and waterproof construction of soft luggage with the convenience and stability of hard luggage mounting systems.
Made entirely of tough 210 Ripstop TPU material, with welded seams to keep any water out, there are three sizes to choose from – Large can hold up to 40 litres of luggage, Medium 23 litres and small has 16 litres capacity.
All feature roll top closure, combining easy access with a reliable waterproof seal, fastened by quick-release buckles on the top, where they can’t be snagged by branches or damaged in a fall.
The Large SysBag has a removable inner bag, complete with adjustable sections for organising kit, while the Medium and Small have separate zippered pockets inside.
Much lighter than hard luggage, SysBags are easier to handle off the bike too. They can be used individually or together, in dozens of different configurations, eg: a large bag on one side and a small/medium on the other, to clear a high level exhaust.
SysBags can be attached and removed from the bike in seconds using SW-Motech’s ’one-click’ solid mounting system. Medium and Small bags come prepared to accept adapter plates enabling them to be mounted to SW Motech’s bike-specific SLC Side Carriers, while the Large is designed to be used with their PRO Side Carriers.
Alternatively they can be attached to almost any pannier rack using the integrated straps; no separate cords or bungees needed. There is even an option to attach additional bags using the Molle loop system.
SysBag WP bags retail from £129.95 for the Small, £156.95 for Medium and £204.95 for Large. Adapter plates start at £32.95 each, and SW-Motech’s bike-specific SLC Side Carriers start from just £49.96 per side (all including VAT).
