Big magnetic bags

Gone are the days of tank bags held down with flapping Velcro straps and frayed bungee ropes.

This is Triumph’s official expandable 30ltr tank bag. It’s designed specifically to fit the 2011 Speed Triple and attaches by a simple strong integrated magnetic base. New for this year Triumph have incorporated preformed sections to offer ridged support and water resistant zips. You also get detachable rucksack straps and a waterproof cover.

I had the old version of this on my 2010 Speed Triple and it proved itself to be incredibly usable. Because you can take it on and off the bike in one second you don’t have to leave your valuables behind when paying for petrol for example. Overall this new design is more ridgid, it’s bigger and looks like a part of the bike instead of a big bag lumped on the tank.

They retail at £120 and can be picked up from your local dealer.
