Motorcycle luggage for the road and travel

Loading your motorbike

On a motorbike, the load affects the machine's behaviour: a weight poorly placed, too high or too far back, makes the steering heavier and unbalances the bike. Place heavy loads as low and as close to the centre as possible, in the side cases or the tank bag, and reserve the top case for light items, keeping within its maximum load. The backpack tires the back on long journeys.

By type of luggage

The selection is organised by type:

• Top case.
• Side cases.
• Bags, tank, saddle, and leg.
• Cargo bags.
• For the rider, backpacks and helmet bags.

The motorbike also comes in helmets, rider gear, motorbikes, off-road, maintenance, on the motorbike page.

Top case, side cases, and bags

The top case, like the Shad with carbon finish, mounts at the back on a plate and holds a full-face helmet; the backrest Givi improves passenger comfort. The side cases, like Shad, are mounted on specific supports for each motorbike model, such as the Shad 3P system, which becomes discreet once the cases are removed. The tank bag keeps documents, phone, and gloves within reach: it attaches via magnets, straps, or, more securely, by a bracket screwed onto the tank cap, like the Bagster Tab, Givi Tanklock or SW-Motech systems, which allow for easy removal.

For the rider

The leg bag, like the Givi Easy-T, Furygan Colt or Ixon, strapped to the thigh, carries the phone, keys, and wallet without hindering riding. The motorbike backpacks Ixon, designed to be aerodynamic, are water-resistant. The airbag backpacks Helite H-Moov and Motoairbag City inflate in a fraction of a second during a fall, to protect the back and neck: the mechanical version deploys via a cable connected to the bike, while the electronic version uses sensors that detect the fall. The helmet bag Arai protects the helmet from scratches during transport.

Frequently asked questions

Soft or hard luggage for motorbike travel?

Hard cases and top cases offer better protection from rain and theft and can be locked. Soft luggage, bags and panniers, are lighter, fit more bikes, and can be mounted without fixed support attachments.

How to attach a tank bag?

Depending on the models, the tank bag attaches via magnets on a steel tank, by straps, or by a ring screwed around the tank cap, like those from Givi or SW-Motech. The ring also fits plastic tanks.

What weight can be put in a top case?

Each top case and its support have a maximum load indicated by the manufacturer, often just a few kilos. Reserve it for light items, as a high weight destabilises the bike.

What is an airbag bag for motorbikes for?

The airbag bag, such as those from Helite and Motoairbag, deploys an inflatable cushion in the event of a fall to protect the back and neck. It connects to the bike via a cable or operates with a sensor depending on the models.

Are leg bags practical on a motorbike?

The leg bag, strapped to the belt and around the thigh, keeps documents, phone, and keys within reach without opening the jacket. The Givi, Furygan and Ixon models remain compact so as not to hinder riding.
