Ventura Luggage for Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

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.

Ventura Evo Luggage for Honda Hornet 750

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.

Ventura Evo Luggage for Yamaha MT-10 and SP

Lightweight, stable and hassle-free luggage solution for the MT-10

Ventura has added the latest generation MT-10 and MT-10SP to its Evo System fitment list, providing much-needed carrying capacity for the stripped down street bikes.

Perfect for bikes with slim tails, like the MT, Ventura’s Evo System adds minimal weight, doesn’t require unsightly racks like hard-luggage and is much less hassle than traditional soft bags.

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’re done; you now have a stable and secure platform for a Pack.

Loading and unloading is easy too: Packs use a sleeve-fitting system so they just slide on and clip in place – no fiddly straps or cords, and no keys to lose. It also means they won’t move around while riding.

Packs are aerodynamically-shaped for minimal impact on airflow, and come in a range of sizes – from a handy 12-litre day bag to a whopping 60-litre tour pack. They’re made from water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric, with wide openings, glove-friendly zip-pulls and other practical features.

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) can be fitted in its place for an extra practical touch.

A typical system, including L-Brackets and Evo Rack, plus the 22-litre Evo-22 Jet-Stream Pack, is just £450 Including VAT.

Owners of older MTs can also enjoy the Evo System, with a specific kit for 2016-2021 models.

Ventura Supercharge Touring

Praised for its comfort, poise and of course performance, Kawasaki’s Z H2 SE is more than capable of munching miles.

The supercharged super naked is lacking in one crucial area though: carrying capability, so Ventura have added the Kawasaki to its Evo Luggage system fitment list.

Originally developed for sportsbike riders, who wanted luggage that was light, stable and wouldn’t upset handling, Ventura has proved ideal for carrying kit on naked street bikes with minimalist rear-ends, like the H2 SE.

Carrying a passenger (left) Riding Solo (right)

Ventura’s Evo System is made up of just three elements:

  1. Discreet L-Brackets – tailor made for the Z H2 and which attach to existing mounts;
  2. An Evo Rack – offering a stable and secure platform for the luggage;
  3. The Evo Pack – which simply slides on and clips in place.

Unlike soft luggage, the Pack won’t move around – even when riding hard – thanks to the ‘sleeve-fitting’ system. It is quick and easy to remove and remount the Pack too.

When riding solo, the Pack is carried directly behind the rider and close to the bike’s centre of gravity, helping to keep the motorcycle well balanced. When a passenger is on board, it can be re-positioned behind the pillion seat in seconds.

Both options carry the load well clear of the Z H2’s rear wheel and unlike panniers there’s no extra width added to the bike – leaving the rider free to filter and enabling easy access to tight parking spots.

When luggage isn’t needed, the Pack and Rack can be removed in seconds, leaving only the L-brackets in place and the Z H2’s clean lines uncluttered. There’s also the option to replace the Rack with a Grab Handle.

Packs come in various sizes, from the handy 12-litre Evo-12 to the massive 60-litre Evo-60 Jet Stream. Each one is made from water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric, with wide openings for quick and easy access to contents and aerodynamic shaping to cheat the wind.

A typical system for the H2 SE – consisting of the L-Brackets, Evo Rack and an Evo-22 Jet Stream Pack – retails at £418.50 including VAT.

Flat Track Packs for Indian FTR

Indian FTR owners who’re going round in circles to find a luggage solution can rest easy, because Ventura has added the flat tracker to its Evo Luggage System fitment list.

An ultra minimalist rear end and upswept exhausts give the FTR an authentic flat track look, but do little to aid carrying luggage.

Developed to solve the problem, the Ventura System adds versatile luggage capacity, without the weight and unsightly racking of hard luggage, and with much more stability and practicality than soft bags.

Quick and easy to mount – and even easier to live with – the Evo System is made up of just three elements:

  1. Discreet L-Brackets – tailor made for the FTR and which attach to existing mounts;
  2. An Evo Rack – offering a stable and secure platform for the luggage;
  3. The Evo Pack – which simply slides on and clips in place.

Ventura’s sleeve-fitting system means the Pack won’t move around – even when riding hard. It’s also quick and easy to remove and reattach the Pack at stops – no straps or fiddly locks and keys.

When riding solo, the Pack is carried directly behind the rider and close to the bike’s centre of gravity; when a passenger is on board, it can be re-positioned behind the pillion seat in seconds.

Both options carry the load well clear of the FTR’s upswept exhausts and the rear wheel. Unlike panniers, there’s no extra width added to the bike.

When luggage isn’t needed, the Pack and Rack can be removed in seconds, leaving only the L-brackets in place. There is also an option to replace the Rack with a Grab Handle, leaving the FTR’s clean lines uncluttered.

Packs come in various sizes, from the handy 12-litre Evo-12 to the massive 60-litre Evo-60 Jet Stream. Each one features water-resistant and durable laminated ballistic fabric construction, with wide openings for quick and easy access to contents, aerodynamic shaping to cheat the wind and much more.

A typical System for the FTR, with L-Brackets, Evo-Rack and the Evo-22 Pack (pictured), costs £364.62 including VAT – significantly less than hard luggage. The optional Grab Handle is just £22.80 including VAT and Ventura are currently offering one free with any luggage kit (including L-Brackets, Rack, and Pack).

Fitments are currently available for the 2019-2021 Indian FTR, FTR S and FTR R Carbon.

Ventura Luggage For Moto Guzzi V85 TT

Ventura’s Evo Bike Pack System is now available for the Moto Guzzi V85 TT – offering owners serious carrying capability, without compromising the Guzzi adventurer’s retro lines.

Refined over the past 40 years, the Evo Bike Pack System combines the best elements of hard and soft luggage to offer lightweight, stable and versatile carrying capability. The system uses three elements:
