Motorcycle Backpacks

Designed for the bike

A motorcycle backpack is not an ordinary bag. It needs to stay tight against your back at high speed, without catching the wind or lifting up on your helmet, thanks to a chest strap and a waist belt. It must be waterproof or come with a rain cover, and equipped with reflective strips. Its streamlined shape prevents turbulence, and its padded, breathable back reduces sweating.

Motorcyclist luggage

Luggage for motorcyclists also comes in:

• Saddlebags.
• Travel bags.

All the luggage is gathered on the page for the motorcyclist.

An inflatable protection

Backpacks with an airbag feature an inflatable cushion that protects the back, neck, and chest in case of a fall. The Helite H-Moov, from the pioneering French airbag motorcycle brand, comes in a mechanical version, triggered by a cable connected to the bike, and in an electronic version, triggered by sensors, with no attachment. The Motoairbag City offers an alternative for urban rides.

Waterproof and technical

The Kriega, from the British brand, stands out with its harness that distributes the weight across the shoulders and torso without compressing the neck. The Ubike Cylinder bags, waterproof and modular, can be worn on the back or attached to the seat. The Ixon, Bagster, Furygan, and Chaft brands complete the range, and the bag Arai protects the helmet during transport. Heavy loads should be avoided as they can tire the back.

Frequently asked questions

How does a motorcycle airbag backpack work?

The bag includes a cushion that inflates in a fraction of a second in case of a fall. The Helite H-Moov is available in a mechanical version, triggered by a cable connected to the motorcycle, and in an electronic version, which detects the fall through its sensors.

What capacity should I choose for a motorcycle backpack?

For daily journeys, fifteen to twenty litres are enough to carry a laptop and a few items. Beyond twenty-five litres, the bag becomes heavy and catches the wind: it’s better to put the volume in a top case.

Does a motorcycle backpack need to be approved?

No approval is required for a classic backpack. The airbag models are, however, personal protective equipment: they bear the CE marking which certifies their compliance.

How to adjust your motorcycle backpack so that it doesn't move on the bike?

Adjust the straps so that the bag stays high and tight against the back, without touching the helmet in riding position, then fasten the chest strap and the waist belt. At high speed, it should neither float nor pull on the shoulders.

What’s the difference between a waterproof bag and a bag with a rain cover?

A waterproof bag, with welded seams and roll-top closure, keeps out water even in prolonged rain. A rain cover protects a classic bag but can shift or flap in the wind at high speeds.
