It's time to go semi-rigid.

The development of our MotoBags began back in 2017. It was time to think outside the box and design a new type of luggage system that had never been seen before. We wanted to combine the properties of hard cases with the safety of soft bags, as we strongly believed this would result in a superior design.

After a ton of research and huge amounts of feedback from adventure riders from all around the world, the first generation of MotoBags was ready to meet the market, and we could finally present the world's first semi-rigid side bags for adventure motorcycles.

Ever since then, our MotoBags have had continuous updates and improvements to make sure they’re as modular and easy to use as possible. And with the new Quick Release System, the MotoBags can be attached to most tubular-shaped pannier racks on the market.

Key Features

Our MotoBags are packed with great features to make your adventures as easy and trouble-free as possible when it comes to storing and accessing your gear.

1. Semi-rigid design.
Our MotoBags are made from the soft yet extremely durable material Hypalon, and thanks to the stiffening innerboard + innerplate the MotoBags keep the same shape as hardcases but flex during a crash or tipover.

2. M.O.L.L.E. panels.
Our MotoBags are equipped with the old military attachment system on the front & back and top & bottom. Here you can attach our smaller bags (MiniBags, MicroBags, TallBags, Bottle Holders) or your own gear that is M.O.L.L.E. compatible.

3. Corner protection.
The most exposed parts of our MotoBags are its bottom corners. Whether you're doing hardcore offroading or riding fast in the corners of twisties, the rubber protectors can easily be replaced if necessary.

4. Velcro plate.
Personalize your MotoBags with the flag of your country or attach your own velcro patches - the choice is yours!

5. Rolltop closure.
No leaking rubber sealings or zippers. Our MotoBags close with a Heavy Duty rolltop closure to ensure the elements stay out from your apparel.

6. Heavy duty handles.
Mounting and removal of your MotoBags is done quick and easy.

7. Quick Release System.
Our MotoBags can be adjusted to fit most tubular-shaped racks on the market. Makes it easier to pick up your bike after a crash or tip-over, as you can easily detach both MotoBags and lower the total weight of your bike. Comes pre-adjusted for BMW R1200/1250GS OEM racks.

8. Heavy duty closing straps.
