Going far, with all the essentials.
The traveler's gear
The side cases, mounted on each side of the rear wheel, offer the greatest loading capacity on a motorcycle, with a low centre of gravity that maintains stability. When combined with a top case, they allow for several weeks of self-sufficiency. They attach to supports specific to each motorcycle model and can be removed for light daily riding.
The rest of the range
Side cases are also available as:
The entire collection can be found on the side cases page.
Aluminium or plastic
The aluminium cases, like the SW-Motech Trax ADV from the German brand, or the Givi Trekker Alaska and Outback, or the robust, square GPR cases, handle off-road falls and accommodate a maximum volume: they're designed for larger adventure bikes like the BMW GS. The plastic cases, such as the Shad, are lighter and narrower, suitable for roadsters and touring bikes.
Saddle bags and loading
The semi-rigid saddle bags, like the Shad or the SW-Motech Pro Blaze, provide a lighter and more discreet alternative to cases. It's essential to check the width of the fully loaded motorcycle for city riding, to adhere to the maximum load of each case, and to evenly distribute the weight on both sides. The Shad trunk for quads completes the offer.

Frequently asked questions
Do the side cases fit all motorcycles?
They mount on side supports specific to each motorcycle model, which rely on the frame's mounting points. So you choose the cases and the compatible support, like the SW-Motech supports paired with Trax ADV kits.
Rigid cases or soft saddlebags: what to choose?
Rigid cases lock and offer better protection against theft and impacts. Soft saddlebags, like the Shad or SW-Motech Pro Blaze, are lighter and more discreet, perfect for adventures or light motorcycles.
Do the side cases significantly widen the motorcycle?
They often widen the motorcycle to the same width as the handlebars, or even beyond. You need to consider this for urban riding and parking; some supports bring them closer to the frame, and they're easily removable for daily use.
How to distribute the load between cases and top case?
Put heavy items in the side cases, as close to the rear wheel as possible, while balancing both sides, and reserve the top case for lighter items. A low and centered weight maintains stability when cornering.
Are aluminium cases waterproof?
The Givi Trekker Alaska or Outback cases have a lid seal that effectively protects against rain. For a long trip in wet weather, it's still advisable to store sensitive items in inner bags, just in case.
