Key features
Semi-rigid design
Our MotoBags are made from the soft yet extremely durable material Hypalon. Thanks to the stiffening innerboard and innerplate, the MotoBags keep the same shape as hardcases but flex during a crash or tipover.
M.O.L.L.E. panels
Our MotoBags are equipped with the military attachment system on the front and back, as well as top and bottom. You can attach our smaller bags (MiniBags, MicroBags, TallBags, Bottle Holders) or your own M.O.L.L.E. compatible gear.
Corner protection
The most exposed parts of our MotoBags are the bottom corners. Whether offroading or riding twisty roads, the rubber protectors can easily be replaced if necessary.
Velcro plate
Personalize your MotoBags with your country’s flag or attach your own velcro patches — the choice is yours.
Rolltop closure
No leaking rubber sealings or zippers. The MotoBags close with a heavy duty rolltop closure to ensure the elements stay out of your gear.
Heavy duty handles
Mounting and removal of your MotoBags is quick and easy thanks to the reinforced handles.
Quick Release System
The MotoBags can be adjusted to fit most tubular-shaped racks on the market. This makes it easier to pick up your bike after a crash or tip-over, as you can quickly detach both bags and reduce the bike’s total weight. Comes pre-adjusted for BMW R1200/1250GS OEM racks.
Heavy duty closing straps
Available in Black (preinstalled on all MotoBags), Blue, Orange, Red, and Yellow.
Locking clamp
Secure your gear by locking your MotoBags with the included padlock.

Less dangerous than hardcases in the event of a fall / tipover

It took me a while to decide if these were actually what I wanted. What can I say.. ZERO regrets. They look amazing, feel amazing and extremely well made. They fitted directly onto the OEM racks of my R1200 GSA straight out the box. So flexible when coming to add extras to the mole system. Very happy with this purchase. I have the Overlander also for big trips, the tailpack for everyday use and of course I need the hangry pouches :) my bike has become a LR advert. Thx LR.
I used these Lone Rider bags throughout my midwinter motorcycle trip in Japan.
Despite several drops, slips, and harsh riding conditions, they held up incredibly well and really proved their durability.
Some tips on setting up the bags and mount for your bike. If like me, this was a bit of retail therapy due some slight depression, it may seem like a good idea, but DO NOT try to do it drunk. It will end in tears and frustration. Being sober makes it so much easier and faster. Tip 2, if you're a mechanic and have to do a side job, when you bring your tools home using the bags, forget the center stand. I think I may have hurt by shoulder trying to lift the back of the bike with that much weight in the bags. Soon, there will be a camping trip that will use the bags the way they're meant to be used. Can't wait.

This is my second set of motobags; there's a reason I got a second set for my GS, they are the favorite that I've used. I've tried Kriega, SW-Motech, and, of course, the hard cases.
The semi-rigid design keeps them open for easy packing, they clamp on and off the racks easily and securely in my experience, they are much lighter than hard cases, and if you pack too much, you can just clip it over and sync it down, unlike hard cases.
My issue, with owning two sets is getting the locking latch to line up. Out of four bags, I've only had 1 that would line up and able to lock. Even that one was with effort. And I wish the inside was red (like everything else LR makes) so you can easily see what's in there if you're not using the included waterproof bags.
But those two flaws are not enough to deter me from buying another set if I need more bags.
These bags are extremely well made. Unfortunate I couldn't use the quick disconnect mode for them. But even though they're 'permanently' attached, they are solid and look like they can take a serious beating.
Vraiment top ! Une belle capacité qui ne gêne pas puisque qu'on peut les replier, peut s'ajuster, le seul petit point améliorable pour moi c'est la fermeture pour le cadenas qui est hyper évidente à fermer mais sinon rien à dire !

Really good and high-quality bags, you just need to learn how to close them, and their own video will help with that. The side bags are made in such a way that they saved me and the motorcycle from serious injuries.
Ich bin 15.000 km von Deutschland nach Russland und zurück gefahren. Auf der Straße und Offroad. Die Taschen haben alles mitgemacht, selbst einen Sturz im Gelände. Alle Taschen waren wasserdicht, staubdicht und gut zu verschließen. Be- und Entladen waren kein Problem.
Auch das Befestigen von zusätzlichen Taschen war problemlos, nichts ist aus- oder abgerissen.
Kaufempfehlung, nicht nur ein Stylprodukt, sondern wirklich für die Reise konzipiert.
Borse molto capienti e robuste!
Ottimo il sistema di sicurezza che permette di chiuderle con il lucchetto e la possibilità di aggiungere altre borse con il sistema molle.
Molto comoda la borsa interna impermeabile.
Davvero consigliate!
I believe these bags are the best option out there for adventure riding. Extremely durable, very well designed, great looking, easy to use, and easy to install. I think these are the only pannier bags out there that can both lock to the motorcycle as well as the bags themselves being locked. My only suggestion would be to make them a bit more lightweight. Overall wonderful product. I also own the 30 L duffel bag, which is an equally excellent product. Highly recommend.
Très bien.
Contrairement à ce que vous aviez indiqué, je n'ai pas eu besoin de modifier quoi que ce soit pour ma boîte à outils côté gauche.
Je l'ai juste abaissée un peu et tout s'adapte parfaitement sans avoir à limer la partie en plastique.
J'ai les valises en aluminium, mais celles-ci peuvent rester en place sans prendre de place lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées. Cela demande un peu de temps pour les configurer (8 à 10 minutes), mais j'ai toujours un kit prêt à l'emploi en cas de besoin.

Même s'ils sont arrivés un peu en retard et que j'ai raté mon voyage, ces sacoches sont géniales : elles s'adaptent parfaitement, sont d'excellente qualité et ont fière allure sur mon vélo !!!
J’avais déjà utilisé les housses « MotoBags » pour mes deux motos précédentes, qui totalisent près de 200 000 km au compteur. Ce total comprend pas moins de 3 000 km de routes de gravier, avec de la poussière, de la boue et même quelques chutes. Elles ont tout supporté sans problème, et mes affaires ont toujours été bien protégées de l’humidité et de la poussière.
Je ne peux que recommander les housses « MotoBags » !
Un grand merci à Lone Rider, notamment pour votre écoute constante des demandes de la communauté et pour vos produits vraiment excellents !
J'adore ces sacs ! Ils sont superbes et très pratiques grâce à leurs pochettes intérieures. Je les ai testés sous la pluie et ils sont parfaitement imperméables.
Lone Rider Ce système se distingue par sa construction robuste et sa conception bien pensée.
Le montage est simple, tout s'emboîte parfaitement et le système reste stable même sur des terrains accidentés.
Le rangement et l'accès sont intuitifs, ce qui rend l'utilisation quotidienne et les longues sorties tout aussi pratiques. Les matériaux semblent résistants et spécialement conçus pour la moto d'aventure, sans complexité inutile.
Dans l'ensemble, c'est un équipement fiable qui s'intègre naturellement à une moto d'aventure et fonctionne exactement comme prévu, et la moto est superbe 🤩
Un excellent produit, très fiable. Je viens de rentrer d'un road trip de plus de 5 000 km à travers les pays du CCG et ces sacs ont parfaitement rempli leur rôle… Je les recommande vivement.
Très bon produit, le seul inconvénient, c’est que l’ouverture et la fermeture sont un peu compliquées quand on est pressé. Sinon, dans l’ensemble, ils sont vraiment parfaits pour les balades.
Les valises comme les sacs intérieurs sont des produits d'excellente qualité. De plus, ils confèrent à la moto un look très aventurier.
Je suis vraiment très satisfait de ces produits.
Ça fait maintenant un an que je les utilise pour toutes mes sorties, en couple ou tout seul, et j'ai même entrepris un voyage vers le Cap Nord.
Ces sacs sont vraiment de très bonne facture et ont un superbe design.
