The BMW GS has long been one of the most recognized manufacturers of parts and accessories for adventure bikes, and it’s safe to say that BMW has raised the bar with the launch of the R 1300 GS. In addition, of course, to the GS’s already capable configuration that comes as standard, the aftermarket manufacturers enhance the bike’s capabilities with all kinds of accessories and upgrades.
Like the BMW GS itself, Touratech has been one of the biggest names on the ADV accessory scene, and it’s no surprise that Touratech is one of the first to launch an extensive catalog of luggage options for the new adventure bike. Naturally, Touratech has a number of products designed specifically for the new GS.
When it comes to city riding and long-distance touring, you can’t go wrong with soft luggage. It’s versatile, light and slim, allowing you to maintain a more aerodynamic profile when riding in heavy traffic or through dense vegetation. Touratech’s wide range of tank bags is ideal for commuters, as it allows riders to keep their daily essentials within quick reach, such as their cell phone, wallet and other documents. The Travel Tank Bag offers nine liters of storage and even comes with Molle stickers for added compatibility. Its rigid waterproof cover also provides a 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 from robust materials and features sturdy zippers. It’s also a little bigger, with 10 liters of well-protected storage space. Meanwhile, long-distance users can opt for the Touring tank bag, with an extendable storage space of 9 to 14 liters. It is the most versatile of the group, as it is suitable for both daily commuting and long-distance trips.
In addition to the 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 with Touratech fairing protection bars. The Touratech Lid Bag, meanwhile, is designed to be mounted on the BMW Vario’s top case lid, 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.
