Panniers & Saddlebags

Motorcycle Panniers & Saddlebags

Motorcycle panniers and saddlebags are a practical way to add substantial carrying capacity without putting all of your luggage behind the rider. Hurtle Gear offers soft motorcycle panniers, saddlebags and bike-specific side luggage systems for everything from everyday commuting to weekend trips and long-distance touring.

Soft panniers or hard luggage? Soft panniers are generally lighter, easier to remove and often require less permanent hardware, making them a versatile choice for riders who only need extra luggage occasionally. Hard or semi-rigid side cases can provide a more integrated solution for frequent touring, although they commonly require bike-specific side carriers or mounting hardware.

Oxford motorcycle panniers are a particularly practical universal option. The range includes expandable soft panniers and more traditional Heritage luggage, with capacities around 40–55 litres depending on the model. Many include useful features such as removable waterproof liners, secure under-seat straps and shoulder straps for carrying the bags once you're off the bike.

For riders wanting a more bike-specific luggage system, brands such as SW-Motech offer side luggage and mounting solutions designed around individual motorcycle models. Always check whether the required side carriers, adapter kits or mounting hardware are included, as these can be separate components.

When choosing panniers, consider capacity, weather protection, exhaust clearance and mounting method. It's particularly important to make sure soft luggage cannot move into contact with the exhaust, rear wheel or other moving parts once loaded.
