BMW R1300GS with Kriega US-40 Rackpack

The Kriega US-40 Rackpack is a versatile and robust tail bag that is perfect for long trips, offering a 40-liter capacity to store bulky gear. The roll-top closures at both ends allow for easy access and volume adjustment, reducing capacity to 25 liters when needed. Fully waterproof, the US-40 ensures your gear stays dry, no matter the weather conditions.

The bag fits the BMW R1300GS seamlessly when paired with the Perun Moto BMW R1300GS Top luggage rack - Sport. Our rack features front and rear slots, making it the ideal platform for securing the US-40, providing both stability and ease of installation.

Mounting the US-40 is simple and effective. Pass the G-hook straps through the slots on the rack, attach one end to the bag’s loop, and buckle up the other end. Tighten the straps, and the bag will stay securely in place, even on rough terrain. The chamfered edges of the luggage rack protect the straps from wear and tear, ensuring durability over time.

For optimal performance, it’s important to ensure the bag is well-packed. A full, compacted bag will prevent the straps from loosening. If the bag is lightly loaded, however, it becomes more difficult to tighten the straps effectively. In this case, switching to cam-buckle or Rok straps can be a better solution, especially when using the bag as backup storage for items like food, extra clothing layers, or other smaller gear.

The Kriega US-40 Rackpack also offers flexibility, featuring multiple attachment points for smaller bags or accessories. Whether you want to add a Kriega 2l OS-Bottle holder for quick access to hydration or additional US-Drybags for organizing smaller items, the US-40 makes it easy to customize your setup.
