We tend to forget in this era of the adventure bike but not everyone has a set of top and side cases that can contain half your belongings. Not everyone wants to, and not every motorcycle is fit for it.
The flexible luggage solutions were once the most obvious way to transport luggage on a motorcycle and maybe this trend will return thanks to this AQUA D-70 Duffle Bag. This 70-litre duffle bag is part of the Aqua Bags series. With this, Oxford offers flexible, waterproof luggage solutions. All the motorcycle bags are made of firm PVC tarpaulin and the waterproof seams are what guarantee its contents from arriving at your destination dry as a bone.
What stands out in the AQUA D-70 Duffle Bag is its specific design. It looks like the roll bag is hugging your motorcycle saddle or luggage carrier, contributing to a steady contact with the motorcycle. The AQUA D-70 Duffle Bag is a large and easily accessible roll-up bag with a capacity of no less than 70 litres. A small part of that is taken up by the external back pocket with zip. The reliable closing method, together with the waterproof construction and the rest of the assembly facilitate packing and unpacking. The adjustable compression straps help keep everything stable and compact.
Attaching the AQUA D-70 Duffle Bag is done with a safety strap underneath the saddle, D-rings and the universal fit that suits almost any saddle or carrier. The AQUA D-70 Duffle Bag is always positioned at the back of the motorcycle and is therefore heat-resistant.
At first glance, they look very ‘Bri-ish’, definitely in a picture on a Royal Enfield or a Triumph but the matte black, easily maintainable exterior matches any motorcycle (colour).
Given the available storage space, dimensions are within limits: 60 cm width, 45 cm high and 38 cm depth.
