SW-Motech SysBag WP Bags & Pro Side Carrier
SW-Motech is a popular motorcycle luggage manufacturer among adventure riders. The company’s SysBag WP system is a durable and convenient saddlebag choice for your ride.
The soft SysBag WP L saddlebags are specifically designed for off-road use. They’re manufactured from long-lasting, rip-preventing TPU material, with hard Hypalon corner brackets for additional protection in case of a fall.
Each SysBag WP L bag has a capacity of 40 liters, giving you plenty of space for storing your items. For added convenience, inside the bag you’ll find another lighter-colored bag, split into three compartments. We’ve found this inner bag very handy for organizing things, but you can also pull it out if you don’t need it.
On the inside and the lid, you’ll also find two additional zippered compartments for smaller items. Finally, on the front of the bag is a quick-access compartment for maps or rain gear (or, if you’re anything like the RoadRUNNER crew, items you remembered at the last minute).
After closing the roll-top—also made out of ripstop TPU—you can protect your belongings from the elements with the weatherproof flap top. It’s easy to use and shockingly effective. The flap is held in place with two buckles, intentionally positioned on the top of the bag to prevent branches from getting caught in them.
In case you didn’t fill the bag completely, it has four compression straps on the sides. They make it simple to get the slack out of the bag.
Should you still need more carrying capacity, the front of the bag sports a MOLLE panel for attaching whatever your heart desires. As a safety-oriented cherry on top, the bag has reflective details to help keep you visible on dark roads.
For quick and hassle-free installation, the bags combine with the SW-Motech Pro side carrier racks. These model-specific luggage racks are simple to install, as they are designed for each specific motorcycle’s geometry.
As a nice touch, you have two options for mounting the racks. You can attach them permanently, but you can also use SW-Motech’s quick-release fasteners. With a half-turn of a screwdriver, the firmly mounted racks pop off, leaving only the low-profile attachment points on the bike.
With the racks in place, the SysBag WP L bags attach by looping them onto a rack. For a more convenient solution, you can opt for quick-release adapter backplates. After attaching the bags to them, they slot into the rack and pop off with a press of the release triggers. Fast and simple.
The SW-Motech SysBag WP L saddlebags retail for $320 each (quick-release adapter plates are $65 each). The Pro side carrier system retails for $370.
