SW-MOTECH PRO TANK BAG SERIES WITH MAGNETIC GUIDE

SW-MOTECH’s PRO Tank Bag series combines rugged good looks with genuine practicality — but what really sets it apart is the innovative magnetic guide system built into the tank ring.

Mounting a tank bag can often be fiddly, but not here. The PRO Tank Ring system uses powerful guide magnets to automatically align the bag, followed by a mechanical snap lock that secures it with a reassuring click. A red pull strap releases the bag just as easily, making it one of the most convenient systems on the market.

The bags themselves are made from premium 1680D ballistic nylon, offering UV resistance and long-term durability. There are subtle reflective accents for increased visibility, plus a MOLLE attachment system for modular add-ons. Riders looking for full weather protection will also find waterproof options in the range.

Thanks to a sliding top ring, the bags can be adjusted to fit a range of bike tanks — flat or sloped — without drilling. That same adjustability also means they can easily be moved between bikes.

Whether you’re commuting or touring, SW-MOTECH’s PRO Tank Bag series delivers practical storage in a sleek, high-quality package.

BLACK PUP MOTO MESHIE JACKET

The Meshie Jacket from Black Pup Moto delivers serious airflow without compromising on protection. At its core is a double layer of abrasion-resistant F5 mesh, offering excellent breathability while dramatically increasing slide resistance. Unlike many summer jackets that sacrifice safety for ventilation (or vice versa), the Meshie finds the sweet spot, providing airflow and coverage in equal measure.

Black 1000D Cordura reinforces the shoulders and arms, adding impact protection in high-risk zones and giving the jacket a sharp, two-tone look. The grey mesh panels help reflect heat while remaining versatile enough to match almost any bike.

CE Level 2 armour is included in the shoulders, elbows and back, with large elbow coverage that extends well down the forearm — especially useful for off-road riding. There’s also soft, flexible chest padding, adding another layer of safety.

Despite the dual-layer construction, airflow remains excellent. Add a windbreaker or rain jacket over the top and the Meshie becomes suitable for cooler days too. Two external pockets and an inner stash pocket offer handy storage, and waist adjusters help you dial in the fit.

Available in sizes M to 2XL, the Meshie is a versatile and rugged warm-weather jacket designed by riders, for riders.

KRIEGA OS-BASE FOR BMW GS

Designed specifically for BMW’s iconic GS range, the new Kriega OS-BASE offers a tough, rackless luggage solution for riders chasing versatility and durability without the need for a pannier frame.

Compatible with all GS models from the
R 80 GS through to the R 1300 GS, the OS-BASE simply straps to the bike’s rear rack and subframe, forming a solid foundation for Kriega OS-6, OS-12 or OS-18 soft panniers. With capacities ranging from 12L to 36L (combined), it’s a scalable system that adapts to your needs.

Add a Kriega US-40 rackpack or 40L rollpack across the back and total waterproof storage capacity jumps up to a substantial 76L. And if that’s not enough… well, Kriega’s modular system leaves plenty of room to grow.

The harness includes all-required mounting hardware, with replaceable straps and EVA foam pads to protect your bike’s bodywork. Backed by Kriega’s 10-year warranty, the OS-BASE is built to go the distance, whether that’s across the city, across the country or around the world.
