The earlier design was often too large for Riders needs, with bags sagging, the contents could move around and incur damage.

Removing one horizontal strap makes loading far quicker, while retaining the two vertical straps for rigidity and security. Riding rough roads and tracks for prolonged periods, the panniers remained firmly attached; and not a 'bungy' to be seen! Note there are no longer the three cross bars behind the rear seat.

Replacing the frame with a smaller more rigid pair of frames has totally improved the handling. The weight shift is lower and further forward.

Each Rider has two Panniers (approx 30 Litres x 2 = 60 Lts) and if you would like one, a tank bag as well (approx 15Lts). This is normally sufficient for a two (or four week tour). Panniers and tank bags are attached with strong straps and quick-release clips.
