Mosko Moto Alpine 60 on Yamaha Tenere 700

In one of our previous ARTICLES, we have written about the details of our updated Gen 2 Top luggage rack for the Yamaha Tenere 700. One of the key improvements is the added compatibility with the Mosko moto Gnoblin. Now let's talk about the practical usage and see how the Mosko moto Alpine 60 bags fit the 2025 Tenere. Just a quick note: fit is the same on all model years of the Tenere (Regular, Rally, World Raid editions).

First thing that strikes me about this setup is just how spacious it is. Side bags are roomy with large top opening. One side will easily accommodate even the bulky two person tent with additional smaller items.

Alpine 60 has a clean design, without additional bells and whistles. That's a plus, at least in my book.

Mounting the bags onto our luggage rack can be achieved either by using the straps (provided with the bags), or with the Gnoblin quick mount (sold separately by Mosko moto). In my opinion, the Gnoblin is the way to go. Even more so if the bags are to be removed at the end of each riding day.

The rack provides three pre-drilled holes for the Gnoblin. Middle one works best for this application.

Newer Gnoblin kits come with a couple of spacers. The spacers sit between the rack and the Gnoblin button resulting in significantly easier mounting and dismounting of the bags. Raised Gnoblin button allows the Alpine 60 harness to maintain its natural curvature. Without the spacers, putting the bags onto the bike required some effort.

If you have an older Gnoblin, use a stack of flat washers instead of the spacers. About 10mm is enough. Longer bolt will be needed for this.

Once the Gnoblin clicks into place, it's time to secure the lower straps. These can be tied to passenger footrest brackets. We prefer using our Tie-down brackets (Gen2) for this, obviously. Replacing the footrest brackets with our Tie-downs helps save a bit of weight and gives the bike a cleaner look.

More importantly, they are completely tucked out of the way and will not interfere with your boots.

Updated second generation of Tie-down brackets features C-hook quick release slot which considerably speeds up the strap installation process.

Thread the strap trough buckle on the bag and create a loop (you only need to do this once on each side). Then hook that loop into the quick release slot.

To finalize the installation, simply tighten the strap and tidy up the loose end. Loose ends can be either secured with in-built velcro loop, or trimmed away. Trimming them to length gives the fastest mounting experience. Just be mindful of strap length if you're using the same bags on different bikes.

With the straps secure, tighten the Gnoblin pin to lock it in position.

This rounds up the mounting process. Depending on the storage space needed, you can use the Alpine 60 with or without the top bag.

Top bag attaches with four plastic buckles. Narrow part of the bag faces toward the front of the bike. Otherwise, the buckles don't line up.

So, how is the fit? Mounted like this, the bags sit as far forward as possible without interfering with the rider. Sure, you'll hit the tail bag when you shift bodyweight all the way to the back (on steep downhills). Otherwise, the bags might as well be off the bike.

As can be seen from the photo above, there is plenty of clearance between RHS bag and the stock silencer. I can't foresee a situation where heat is an issue.

Side holsters of the Alpine 60 rest on the side plastics. Combined with the stiffness of the composite harness, this provides all the stability you can ask for. There is no need to use our Side supports for this setup.

Underside of the harness just barely makes contact with the smooth edge of our rack. Even after several thousand kilometers with this setup, we haven't noticed any hot spots developing on the rubbery protection foam.

Despite its large capacity, Alpine 60 is still narrower than the stock handlebars.

This is a well rounded luggage setup with plenty of capacity even for longer trips. Thanks to updated Perun moto Top luggage rack and Tie-down brackets, mounting to the Tenere is as seamless as it gets. Fitment is imaculate.
