Tank Bags

motorcycle tank bags: practical, compact, and versatile

A motorcycle tank bag is one of the most used and practical luggage solutions for riders. Thanks to its compact size, you can easily carry your everyday items without making the motorcycle unnecessarily wide or heavy. Whether you're going for a short ride, commuting to work, or going on a motorcycle holiday: a tank bag always provides a solution.

Why choose a motorcycle tank bag?

The popularity of the tank bag is due to its combination of convenience, compactness, and versatility. Some advantages include:

• Immediately within reach: ideal for wallet, phone, sunglasses, or toll badge.
• Space-saving: takes up little space on the motorcycle and hardly affects handling.
• Versatile use: some models can also be worn as a backpack or shoulder bag.
• Protection against rain: waterproof design or equipped with a separate rain cover.

Mounting options

There are several ways to attach a motorcycle tank bag. Which one is best depends on your motorcycle and personal preference:

• Magnetic tank bag: easy to place and remove, suitable for metal fuel tanks.
• Tank bag with straps: fits almost any motorcycle, including those with plastic or aluminum tanks.
• Tank bag with tank ring: clicks securely onto a special tank ring, offering maximum stability and convenience when refueling.

Choosing the right size

Tank bags are available in various sizes and volumes. For commuting, a small tank bag of 3 to 10 liters is often sufficient, suitable for small items like keys and lunch. For touring or holidays, it's better to opt for a larger tank bag of 15 to 25 liters, which can also accommodate clothing or travel documents. Some models are also expandable, giving you extra space on the go when needed.

Waterproof tank bags

Riding in the Netherlands means regular rain. A waterproof motorcycle tank bag or a model with an included rain cover prevents your belongings from getting wet. It's best to choose a bag with welded seams and a water-repellent zipper for the best protection.

Extra features

Many tank bags come with useful extras, such as:

• Transparent map pocket or smartphone pocket for navigation
• Adjustable shoulder strap for use off the motorcycle
• Reflective details for extra visibility
• Expandable capacity via zipper or foldable sections
