HELD Tenda Black

The Tenda from Held is a stylish saddlebag. In the first place, because if you are imaginative enough, you can use it in many different ways. With some imagination, the Tenda looks like a turtle on the back of a motorcycle. The 'legs' of the turtle are made in such a way that you can store four strong magnets (optional) in them, which allows you to use the Tenda as a tankbag.

The outside (nylon) is of course water-repellent, and if that's not enough you get a rain cover to play it safe. The sloping shape seems to be a spoilsport as far as storage space is concerned, but a zipper all around allows you to increase the volume of storage space. You can count on a storage space of between 6 and 11 liters.

This consists of one, undivided compartment. Outside (in the 'lid' and on the bottom) there are two extra zippers. You can put a small thing in there, but they are used to hide the handle and the (single) shoulder strap.

Two included Microlock straps, adjustable in length, go under your saddle and keep everything in the right place. You can leave the Tenda on the bike or simply unzip it and take it with you. No need to fiddle with those straps under the saddle: just zip and go. The attachment remains on the motorcycle and afterwards you are ready to go again in no time.
