Measuring 240 mm (W) x 200 mm (D) x 360 mm (H), it is constructed from high-quality High Poly polyester fabric, ensuring durability and a rigid, self-supporting structure. Its anti-scratch, anti-skid base provides stability, while the included rain cover with a transparent window offers protection against the elements. Enhanced with high-visibility reflective details for added safety, the bag also features a central safety strap that secures it to the handlebar. The upper compartment, detachable and touch-screen-friendly, accommodates devices up to 12 inches. Inside, an internal mesh pocket with zippers on the top and side helps keep items organized. Additional side and front pockets offer easy access to essentials, with glove-friendly zippers and practical pullers for convenience. The cable passage hole allows seamless use of USB accessories or headphones. A sturdy handle makes carrying effortless. The bag can be fixed directly to the bike using three included straps or paired with the TC41 base (sold separately) for a quick-release system.
2. Saddle Bags: Balanced and Spacious Storage
Saddle bags attach to either side of your motorcycle's rear seat, providing balanced weight distribution and generous storage space. These are ideal for longer trips where you need to carry clothes, tools, and gear.
