Built to withstand adventure
Panniers features
Every detail is engineered for real-world adventure riding — from the materials we choose to the way each part is formed, welded and sealed. Here is what each feature means for you.
2 mm aluminium, 14 bends
High-grade 2 mm aluminium alloy formed along 14 bending lines — a strong structure with a sensible weight.
Deep-drawn lid & base
Lid and base are cold-formed (deep-drawn) in one piece: more rigid, more waterproof and with no welded corners.
Waterproof & dustproof
Riveted, silicone-sealed base and an exchangeable EPDM gasket on the lid keep driving rain, dust and river crossings outside.
13-face HDPE corners
High-density polyethylene corners, mould-injected in-house. Very wear-resistant and replaceable one by one.
CNC milled & TIG welded
Robot and hand welded with attention to detail; CNC-milled parts for a precise fit and clean edges.
4 strap holders
Polyethylene holders with rounded edges: no strap abrasion, fit several strap widths and are replaceable.
Impact Release fixing system
Locked to the steel racks with high-strength polyethylene brackets and 14 thread-locked bolts. In a heavy impact the pannier releases from the rack, protecting your leg, the rack and the pannier.
Toggle latch, one key
1.5 mm laser-cut steel toggle latch with Heavy Duties stamping and one key for both panniers — or the Alterna-Latch that opens from both sides.
Alterna-Latch
Dual-action hinge lock: open the lid from either side, or release both latches and lift it off.
Extreme protections
2 mm aluminium plates riveted over the exposed edges for hard off-road riding.
5 mm foam isolation
Polyethylene inner padding protects your gear and reduces rattling.
Easy to repair
Corners and strap holders are designed to be replaced individually — extending the life of your panniers.

Have the option with the new toggle modular latches and this is a great sulution from these guys!!!!
So happy with it.
They look better then the old panniers i had before of heavy duties.
They are great too but the new ones with these options are so much nicer.

MARCO CATAFFO (verified owner) –

Volcmar (verified owner) –
Great product, even better price!
Mark M. –
Generraly happy with it so far. It seems to be a good quality pannier except the locks which in my opinion should be much better for this price (I have an SW-MOTECH topcase whic has an excelent lock). And also the lid of the double opening locking system always catches on the internal box-mounting knob so every time I open it, I have to take it down form the knob to be able to fully open the top of the box.
