I prefer the Kriega R25 and R35, plus If I need more space I go the the US10 or US20, all fit on the bike or on the backpacks, if I want to go light I take the WP messenger bag form Kriega with just my lptop and a few acc. its a really great system for bikes.
Hey Bo! Great review as always. Would you consider to do a review on bags that can store motorbike helmets? I'd prefer to store my helmet rather than hold it when I reach a destination. But the bags that I know of doesn't really solve this issue. Any recommendation? Do you just hold your helmet or where do you keep it?
Hi from Indonesia.. In my opinion as motorcycle rider, backpack is better, if the capacity bellow 25 liter. If you planning to do some short trip that require you pack more than 25 liter, I suggest to use tail bag. Because I think, even the backpack give you freedom of movement, still the weight will make you tired faster than when you use tail bag. Sorry for my english.. Btw, nice bike you got there..
Very good point. I haven't done longer tours with the bike yet, but I think you are totally right. However, the bigger size (effectively this is a 30L backpack) is great for work or grocery shopping
I'd be nice if they updated the bag, been 5 years and people are complaining about the same things. Guess the choices are slim though, they need some competition apparently.
Looking for something I can put my 12lb wiener dog for short city rides but is still functional. Proving to be a lot harder to find than expected. Thinking toploading but not roll top so he can hang out the top without fear of the bag opening up. Any ideas?
Hi, great reviews, you saved me from buy wrong. You said in your 28-liter video that was a good backpack for the bike but it was not a good daily backpack. I sometimes use my motorcycle and other times I use my car, what do you consider to be the best backpack currently for me? Currently I use Bobby Hero of XD Design but I want something new. BTW, Office use, laptop, tablet, headphones, keys, wallet, chargers, cables, GoPro. Thxs a lot
Thanks, Fernando. That's a good question. There are so many good bags at the moment. But to be save for all your usecases, I think we need to evaluate the most "difficult" usecase: Motorcycling. Will you ride in rain? What kind of bike do you ride? and more questions unrelated to motorbikes: What kind of look are you going for (office suited?)
@@Youknowthebo Wow, thank you for answering, I am 44 years old, I have an advertising agency and partner in some restaurants, I live on the beach, nothing rain, I use my motorcycle 2-3 times a week to go to the office, HD Street Rod 750, use Laptop, ipad pro 11 ", headphones, pens, chargers, extra batteries, lenses. My look is more 80's, young man trapped in old body, casual style, jeans, adidas, converse, long-sleeved shirt. Use 2 helmets Torc Coyote and Ruby Castel. Jackets Scorpio and sometimes Fuel. From the backpacks I've seen I loved the Velommachi 28L Speedway and Rider Daypack Angry Lane Specialized Edition White. I hope that you can help me, hahahaha. MANY GR.
@@fbalmori thanks for your patience. The week was a bit hectic. Considering the good weather and the pretty casual work environment, your pretty open to any bag 😉 I am usually a big fan of clamshell opening bags, but having a) a bit of expandability and b) easy cleanable (because of the beach) might be a good idea for you. So my recommendation would be either the Wandrd Prvke (it is a very good edc bag without the camera cube, but the cube is a cool option if you have to carry fragile items) or the haize bag that I recently reviewed.
Hi Bo, nice review! Me I'm still using a Oakley Icon backpack (2012) its small and old but it can accommodate a laptop and also I can attach a spare helmet for my pillion and if I have a pillion she can store her thing in there and use the Icon backpack. I haven't find a backpack that match the function and use of my Oakley Icon backpack.
Thanks. It's a great bag. I have Oakley glasses but I haven't had a chance to test one yet. I always wanted the one Denzel Washington is wearing in the movie "book of Eli"
@@YouknowtheboWell the movie that made me purchase the Icon Backpack is G.I Joe but at that time I could not find stock and the Icon backpack v2 is the only available and the bag in Book of Eli was "Oakley panel pack" and it's cool also particularly with that machete.
@@Youknowthebo Yeah, I have heard that some people have mentioned the MT-07's suspension as being a little mushy. I'm glad that the new shocks are treating you well! Thanks
Sieht aus, als müsste ich bald mal weg von Kriega, hin zu Velomacchi. Die ausgefallene Optik und das graue Finish sind zumindest schon mal hingucker. Muss ja auch Instagramtauglich bleiben, das Ganze :D
Also von der Funktionalität her finde ich den velomacchi auch besser. Die compartments und der harness sind wesentlich besser. Zumindest im Vergleich zu dem r20
You're right. There is not a lot. But to be fair, the old Kriega bags didn't have much either. The velomacchi does have a small loop on which I usually attach a reflective bike light

Thanks. I usually take the helmet with me. I'm too scared if someone bumps too hard against it and might damage it without me knowing

I ride a motorcycle. I purchased a Life Behind Bars "Peleton" backpack and it's been great for me.
Gary Horn ditto been riding motorbike/bicycles with my peloton asphalt for nearly 3 years!
I'd be nice if they updated the bag, been 5 years and people are complaining about the same things. Guess the choices are slim though, they need some competition apparently.
Would like to see your review of the Matador SEG42 and how you wear it on a motorcycle
Great Video! Thank you for uploading. Can't wait to see more 😍

@@YouknowtheboIsmono If I have time, I'll send you pics of the bag loaded with a helmet and a laptop.
Nice Moto. Interesting backpack I do like their tool roll.
I have the tool roll as well. Cool bag. Can't attach it to the mt07 though
what are the new mods on the bike from the last bike video? loving all the reviews!
Thank you very much. I recently got some new Wilbers shocks in the front and back. It completely changed the bike.
@@Youknowthebo Yeah, I have heard that some people have mentioned the MT-07's suspension as being a little mushy. I'm glad that the new shocks are treating you well! Thanks
Keep going, mate!
Thanks, Michael

Those are some sweet bags
Agreed 😉 thanks for watching
I really hope you have a BE Forge already. Looking forward to your review
He already made it. th-cam.com/video/UcmE25EZEWA/w-d-xo.html
I already have 😉 thanks to Ghani for the link
Bo Ismono oh ok, there must be a completely different bag launching next week from them then. I must’ve confused the name😊
Can you make a video about your coronavirus edc?
Yeah, I was thinking of a new edc video 😉
Pakt travel bag did you ever do the full review?
Not yet. Lock down just has been loosend, but I still can't travel. Once that is possible I will review the bag
Bo Ismono Thanks 😊
No reflective strips on a motorbike backpack? I prefer my Instinct 35 Backpack which is enough to store all my shopping with reflective strips on.
so your bike has no lights?
I agree you can never be to visible on a motorcycle.
You're right. There is not a lot. But to be fair, the old Kriega bags didn't have much either. The velomacchi does have a small loop on which I usually attach a reflective bike light
@@bikecommuter24 one can take anything to far, even that
You got the same backpack as Keanu Reeves
IMO the 28L looks better... aesthetically.
Yeah, I have to agree
It's pronounced "Veloma[k]i" not "Veloma[x]i"
Thanks for the info 😉✌️
It’s pronounced anchorman not anchorlady. And that’s a scientific fact!
