The TRAX ADV aluminium cases feel at home on any stretch of road. Embossed patterns reinforce the 1.5 mm thick welded aluminium walls for excellent rigidity, while the completely removable lids with anodised aluminium carry handles and quick-release fasteners make loading and unloading effortless. Bevelled side edges provide increased ground clearance when cornering.

This complete system includes everything required for touring: two waterproof TRAX ADV side cases, two detachable PRO side carriers, adapter kits, lock set, lid limiters, and integrated anti-theft protection—all offered as a perfectly matched package.

Both the carrier system and case dimensions are tailored precisely to the BMW R 1300 GS rear profile and exhaust layout. The TRAX ADV system was engineered with a focus on stability, water and dust impermeability, and user-friendly operation. Whether on-road, off-road, or long-distance touring, these premium aluminium cases are built to perform.
