Tail Bags

Motorcycle Tail Bags

A motorcycle tail bag is a practical way to add useful storage without fitting permanent hard luggage to your bike. Mounted to the pillion seat, rear rack or tail section, tail bags are a popular option for commuters, weekend riders and touring riders who want extra carrying capacity without the bulk of panniers or a top case.

At Hurtle Gear you'll find a wide range of motorcycle tail bags and tail packs from leading luggage brands including Kriega, SW-Motech, Oxford and more, with sizes available to suit everything from everyday essentials through to multi-day trips.

Tail Bags, Tail Packs & Rack Packs

Motorcycle rear luggage is described in a few different ways depending on the manufacturer. You may see products referred to as tail bags, tail packs, rack packs or rear bags, but they all serve a similar purpose: providing secure storage at the rear of the motorcycle.

Some tail bags are designed to strap directly to the passenger seat, while others are better suited to a luggage rack or can form part of a modular luggage system. Many options can be quickly removed from the bike when not required, making them a flexible choice for riders who don't want to leave luggage permanently fitted.

Choosing the Right Tail Bag

The best tail bag will depend on how much you need to carry and where you plan to mount it. Smaller bags are ideal for daily essentials, tools, wet-weather gear or a change of clothes, while larger expandable bags can provide enough room for weekend touring and longer rides.

It's also worth considering features such as waterproof construction, removable inner liners, compression straps, carry handles and expandable capacity. If you regularly ride in wet conditions, a waterproof or roll-top design can be particularly useful.

A Flexible Alternative to Hard Luggage

Tail bags are especially popular with sports bikes, naked bikes and smaller motorcycles where panniers or top cases may not be practical. They can also work well alongside tank bags or side luggage to create a larger touring setup when extra capacity is needed.
