- We just completed the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route and all the bikes and gear performed well. The Tusk Olympus Panniers were really tested though with an accident and enormous amounts of rain. If you are in the market for Mosko Moto luggage but don't want to drop more than $1K, it might be a good idea to check out Tusk for other options.

Just got mine for my KLR a week or so ago. So far so good, I also have the tusk hard panniers that I have beat to death and have no complaints. I had to hammer out a little crinkle in one of them but the racks have been rock solid. Sure can't beat them for the price!
It is good to see high quality gear below the insane prices we see on some of the top shelf brands. This lifestyle doesn't and should have to break each of us out of our savings. Having other good options mean we can bring in more riders willing to ride and that is a very good thing for everyone.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the review
No problem 👍
I just got my Olympus panniers for my 790!!
Going to try and make a install video, wish me luck!!
No luck needed. You got this. Drop a link here when you get all done.
Nice chad,I like tusk stuff I'm running Nelson rigg bags so far so good.
I have had a Nelson Rigg backpack/tailpack that has been on my radar for two years now. I haven't pulled the trigger but I might in the coming year just to have a reliable, small, waterproof bag for the bike.
Nice upgrade, thanks for the review. & didn't he rock an ILBE pack on the Utah ride? Semper Fi...
He did indeed. He is much happier with the weight lower and more balanced. ;-)
Rah...rah all the way around.
I came here for the bags... that crash, bro... good to have seen you alive before seeing that upside down bike!
It was quite the crazy day and we were lucky to come away as good as we did after pushing a little too hard. The bags did a great job of holding up under all that abrasion. I hope you enjoyed the vid and got some info about the bags other than their ability to crash and slide. ;-)
@@BeGoneForGood I did - just to find out that they obviously do not sell those here in Germany. That leaves me with the Givi or the - much more expensive - Kriega or Mosko. 💰
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm on a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE which, except for some less known companies, doesn't really offer a right side rack/mount. The high pipes do stick out pretty far so even the ones out there look very unbalanced. I just picked up the Giant Loop Great Basin and am going to try that out on a few sections of the MA BDR in April. It looks pretty good, but strap management is daunting, lol.
That is ABSOLUTELY the most beautiful bike I have ever seen but I can imagine the unique design elements make accessories a little difficult. I will be curious to hear what you settle on and how it all works out for you.
What length of the steel core straps are you using? The 4.5ft or 6ft? Hate those 3 straps going over the seat.
I gave you guys a shout out in my tusk review video!!!
Tusk Olympus panniers
Awesome thank you! Drop a link so others can check it out too.
@@BeGoneForGood Absolutely, please do the same for me, I can sure use the help.
are the D-rings on the metal or some kind of tough plastic?
Quick question, does anybody know where I can get a tusk quick release Panier Rack for my 2023 Kawasaki 650 KLR adventure BBS bike? Everybody is on backorder. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much for this video attached product is very good for sure.
I don't know where to source them but I wish you luck in finding it.
Do you have a link to where he purchased the system?
You can find it exclusively at Rocky Mountain ATV.

I am definitely interested in buying that set up, are they big enough for a four day trip, in your opinion
This video was shot on an eight day trip with plenty of extra room. With a center bag, this could be a ten day setup with no difficulty whatsoever.
@@BeGoneForGood great feedback, Thank you.
4 days, 100 days, what's the difference in what gear you'd take?
On this particular trip, I left the computer at home and just brought along a wireless hard drive for daily footage dumps. If I were leaving for 100 I would probably bring the laptop and a few extra cords. Other than that, the pack out would be pretty similar. Maybe a book.
@@BeGoneForGood Good answer. A lot of people believe that just because a trip is longer, they need to pack more. That really need not nor should not be the case.
Where did you get the locking strap?
I am sure you can get similar steel core locking straps rom other places but Mosko Moto sells the ones we use with our luggage.
They are not as good-looking as mosko moto but the functionality and price are incomparable
Totally true. The Mosko stuff is really pretty but as Kevin said, "I got 80% of the way there for half the price." It is tough to argue with that point. ;-)
While you are looking good I will be blasting by you looking better.... LoL
