R8 reviews

TBM, issue - 67

TESTED - KRIEGA R8 WAISTPACK:

The R8 is the latest waistpack from British 'bike-bag' company Kriega, and unlike the R3 and R11 before it, this one's been designed with a definite off-road bias. Total capacity is eight litres (two litres in the removable, waterproof 'side-pod' and six in the main pack), with a handy removable tool roll. Like all Kriega products the standard of build has to be seen to be believed. We like the sealed zips, main compartment with top and side access, multi pockets, comfy fit with plenty of padding, and quick adjusters. But most of all we like the design and the fact that it's been built to last using seriously tough materials.... RECOMMENDED.

R8 review - Terry Clark:

Bum bags. Not exactly the height of fashion, until now..... This one's from Kriega, producers of some very fine motorcycling luggage and not only does it look the dog's danglies, but it's packed with features too. Primarily designed for the enduro riders out there, the R8 has a six-litre main compartment, a two-litre drypack waterproof side-pod, a tool-roll and it's tough as old boots too. It also has a fantastic buckle fastening system and adjustment is easy by way of a clever loop, which is easy to grab, even with gloves on. Give it a tug and hey presto, the bag is firmly attached. On top of that, it's guaranteed for 10-years. Ten out Ten!
