The BMW GS has long been one of the most recognized manufacturers of parts and accessories for adventure motorcycles, and it is safe to say that BMW has raised the bar with the launch of the R 1300 GS. In addition to the already capable GS configuration that comes standard, aftermarket manufacturers enhance the capabilities of the bike through all kinds of accessories and upgrades.
Just like the BMW GS itself, Touratech has been one of the biggest names in the ADV accessories scene, and it’s no surprise that Touratech is one of the first to release an extensive catalog of luggage options for the new adventure bike. Naturally, Touratech has a range of products designed specifically for the new GS.
When it comes to city driving and long-distance rides, you can’t go wrong with soft luggage. It’s versatile, lightweight, and slim, allowing you to maintain a more aerodynamic profile when navigating through heavy traffic or dense vegetation. The wide range of tank bags from Touratech is ideal for commuters as it allows riders to store their daily essentials within easy reach, such as their phone, wallet, and other documents. The Travel Tank Bag offers nine liters of storage and even comes with Molle stickers for additional compatibility. Its waterproof hard cover also provides an extra layer of security for your belongings against the elements.
For those looking to venture off the beaten path, the Touratech Extreme Edition Tank Bag is made of robust materials and features sturdy zippers. It’s also slightly larger, with 10 liters of well-protected storage space. Meanwhile, long-distance riders can opt for the Touring tank bag, which has an expandable storage space of 9 to 14 liters. It’s the most versatile of the group, suitable for both daily commutes and long-distance trips.
In addition to tank bags, Touratech also has a range of additional luggage options that are compatible with both Touratech parts and optional BMW accessories. For example, the brand’s Crash Bar Bags fit perfectly on Touratech fairing protection bars. The Touratech Lid Bag, on the other hand, is designed to be mounted on the top case lid of the BMW Vario, providing users with additional storage with easy access. There are also side bags that attach to Touratech luggage racks. These are offered in various options, from Waterproof, Extreme, Trave, and Endurance editions, allowing riders to choose what best suits their needs.
