The Heavy Duties Rhino panniers for the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 are a waterproof 48 L / 40 L aluminium set with an exhaust cutout, made to mount on our asymmetrical racks with exhaust gap. They are designed, built and tested in Romania by riders who use them on long-distance trips.
Why riders choose Rhino panniers
- Robust: 2 mm aluminium alloy, reinforced by the Rhino edge profile and 14 precision bending lines.
- Waterproof and dustproof: lid and base are deep-drawn in one piece; the base is riveted and silicone-sealed and the lid closes on an EPDM gasket.
- Repairable: 13-face HDPE corner protectors, moulded in-house and replaceable one by one.
- Safer in a crash: the patented impact-release mounting lets the pannier come off the rack in a heavy impact, protecting your leg, the rack and the pannier.
- Secure: 1.5 mm laser-cut steel toggle latches with Rhino embossing, or the Alterna-Latch dual-action lock/hinge, with one key for both panniers.
- Made for travel: integrated rounded strap holders for dry bags and camping gear.
- Precise fit: CNC-milled components and TIG-welded edges, matched to Heavy Duties racks.
In the box
- 2 Rhino aluminium panniers (left and right)

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.
