HEAVY DUTIES CLASSIC ALUMINIUM PANNIERS — BUILT TO WITHSTAND ANY ADVENTURE
Designed, tested, and perfected by riders for riders, our aluminium panniers are the result of years of real-world testing across continents. They combine rugged durability, functional design, and rider-focused engineering — so you can travel further, safer, and with confidence.
ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH & RELIABILITY
- Premium 2 mm aluminium alloy with 14 precision bending lines delivers exceptional structural strength while keeping weight low.
- Deep drawn lid and bottom (cold-formed, not welded) increase resistance, improve waterproofing, and eliminate weak welded corners.
- Riveted and sealed base with silicone and an EPDM gasket ensures a dust- and waterproof seal, even in heavy rain or river crossings.
 RIDER-FOCUSED DESIGN
- Exchangeable 13-face plastic corner protectors made from in-house mould-injected high-density polyethylene provide abrasion resistance and impact protection.
- CNC milled, TIG welded finish — every detail crafted for durability and precision.
- Integrated strap holders with rounded edges, designed to fit multiple strap sizes for quick gear attachment.
 INNOVATIVE MOUNTING SYSTEM
- Our panniers lock securely to laser-cut steel racks using high-strength polyethylene brackets and 14 bolted points with thread lock.
- In case of a strong impact, the fixing system releases the pannier from the rack to:
- Protect your legs in a crash.
- Prevent the bike from bending the rack or crushing the box.
- Keep your panniers intact and usable after the fall.
 SECURE & ADVENTURE-READY
- 1.5 mm steel toggle latch.
- One key lock system for both panniers — secure and convenient.
- Designed to fit a wide range of motorcycle models with specific rack setups.

Sehr gute Koffer sehr stabile Bauweise Material und Verarbeitung super, man sieht auch noch das es echte Handarbeit ist. Lieferzeit und Kommunikation (nur auf Englisch) sind sehr gut. (Google Ãœbersetzer sei dank.)

Kommunikation ist mit den Leuten überhaupt kein Problem auf Englisch. Auch die Lieferung hat sehr gut funktioniert. Die Koffer sind echt spitze und machen gut was her. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.
Thanks for the friendly support

Le borse laterali sono ben fatte. Curate nei dettagli e molto rigide, rispetto alla concorrenza che vanta uno spessore di 1,5 mm.
Mi piace molto l’isolamento interno alle borse, sia pure offerto in optional, in quanto evita agli oggetti vaganti di raschiare l’interno della borsa.
Sono molto stabili anche ad alte velocità e soprattutto, non presentano alcun gioco o piccolo movimento tra i telai e le borse durante la marcia, anche quando si superano buche e piccoli ostacoli.
La larghezza promessa è rispettata. Sulla mia Honda Africa Twin ADV Sports 2018, la larghezza misura 99 cm, quindi, entro il limite imposto dal codice della strada in Italia pari a 100 cm, mentre la concorrenza Givi sfora il limite suddetto, oltreché presentare agganci al telaio sulle sovrastrutture in plastica, anziché su ben cinque punti di fissaggio sul telaio della moto.
Garantita e reale è anche l’impermeabilità delle borse all’acqua, per via della buona fattura e posa della guarnizione.
Sono certo che le borse ed i telai dureranno anni, senza alcun problema.
Il logo dell’azienda è troppo grande e colorato, invasivo sulla borsa. Sarebbe opportuno rivederlo e creare un logo a rilievo senza colori con un bel disegno, come la x delle sw motech.
Sarebbe opportuno anche creare ed offrire in vendita sia la valigetta porta utensili che le borse morbide compatibili con i telai acquistati per le borse rigide.
In ogni modo, qualità e funzionalità sfiorano l’eccellenza.
Rapporto qualità prezzo eccezionale, per cui consiglio caldamente l’acquisto.

Top Produkt, schnelle und kompetente Antworten und schnelle Lieferung – alles Bestens!
Habe lange überlegt und mit den bekannten Herstellern verglichen. Überzeugt hat mich nicht zuletzt die höhere Materialstärke von 2,0 statt 1,5 mm bei den Alu-Blechen. Zudem wurden Rückfragen schnell und kompetent beantwortet. Die Lieferung war zügig da und die Koffer waren so gut in Luftpolsterfolie verpackt, dass ich im ersten Moment dachte, die würden den Koffern nichts zutrauen.
Die per E-Mail zugeschickte Bild-Anbauanleitung lässt eigentlich keine Fragen offen, nur einmal habe ich die falsche Schraubenlänge gewählt. Alles passte perfekt und entsprechend flott waren die Träger angebaut. Die Befestigung der Koffer am Träger ist noch schneller erledigt.
Den 4-tägige Probefahrt mit Afrika Twin und Sozia durch den Schwarzwald haben die Koffer jedenfalls mit Bravour bestanden. Die trockenen Klamotten nach mehrere Regenschauern bestätigten eindrucksvoll, dass die Koffer absolut dicht halten.
Ich kann daher mit gutem Gewissen die volle Punktzahl geben.
