MotoTrekk Panniers

Buen equipaje de moto !!! *SALU2 ~ CHARLY*

I've travelled with my MotoTrekk soft bags sparingly, but I'm gearing up for a MABDR trip and have opted to take them along instead of hard boxes. I haven't packed them yet with the gear I plan to bring, but I think with a little effort I should be able to fit a big portion of everything I'll need for a 7 day camping trip in them. In my experience, they are definitely tough/durable, waterproof and easy to mount to my existing rack systems. I've used them on both my dual sport WR250R and R1200GS. Both bikes have rack systems from different manufacturers and I have had no trouble mounting the MotoTrekks to either bike. I do plan to expand them a little bit with a couple of Possibles Pouches. This combined with my Columbia Dry bag should make for a very effective and off-road safe setup.

I have the Moto Trekk panniers and GLhard mounts. Yet to go out camping in the first 30 days of ownership but find them only a little different to get used to than my old hard panniers.. I had questions about the hard mounts moving around or rattling but called customer service and find after owning them that it is actually no problem at all they Snap-on and don't move around. I've used this type of waterproof duffel 3 years prior to this and convinced me that this type of materials and construction really works very well and allows you to pack objects of all sizes. I'm using mine on a 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 with the OEM mounts they fit perfectly. 2 different manufacturers of hard luggage I've used were quite easy to take off but I never remove them when I was camping and I see these being so much easier I may well take one into the tent especially if it's a rainy night. The last three years I've traveled about 20,000 miles each year and I'm camping out about 7 weeks a year so have quite a bit of experience with loading and unloading my gear these will be perfect. Also would like to add that in a tip over these are going to be a lot easier on the hard mounts to cushion the landing and not damage the motorcycle sub frame and mounts. Thanks GL

The Moto Trek panniers are light and very robust. Any crash that would destroy these bags are going to destroy everything else as well, they are just really tough. At the same time they only weigh a couple pounds each. I've owned another popular brand of two layer soft panniers, at 25 pounds for the pair they were heavier than my aluminum hard cases, and when I was looking at Lone Rider panniers I found they weight 30 pounds empty for the set, which means if you add 30 pounds of gear, you now have 60 pounds to carry to your tent or hotel room. The mounting system is simple and nearly universal, and once attached and snugged up, these bags feel like they are part of the bike with no slop or movement. Additionally, Paul in their repair center offered a very generous solution for a repair that I needed after an unsuccessful theft attempt.

Just got the Mototrekk Panniers to go with a MoskoMoto 50 liter duffle for my LD touring/camping needs. HOWEVER, after seeing how easy the aluminum mounting plates go on and off, I'm thinking of just getting a set of the Round the World Panniers and skipping the MoskoMoto duffle entirely. It would make life a LOT easier for this 60 yr old to swing his leg over the seat after a long day off road. If they are as HUGE as the reviews state, I could even ditch my tank bag and have better forward movement while standing. Only question now is do I keep the MotoTrekk paniers and a tank bag for a short trip loadout, or return them and just use the RTW panniers for an all the time configuration?
