Any product from Mosko is the best bar none. Super great people. They truly care about our community.

Being a newer rider myself, you just saved me so much time and research on this tank bag! Ty

Thanks for watching! I hope the information helps out!

Mosko Moto gear is second to none. Their customer service is exceptional. I had a warranty issue, and they went beyond what I expected. Thanks for sharing.

Now that's a professionally delivered revieew. Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em what you told 'em. Good job. Was leaning towards the Diablo. You've mde me reconsider.

Thank you! I really think with the expandable compartment, you don’t have to miss out on the benefit of the tub-style bags anymore. Nothing against GL at all, but it’s hard to want to go back to anything else after having the mosko stuff! Either way, best of luck in finding a bag that works best for you!

Very thorough and informative review! For anyone considering a mosko tank bag, I will say they have the best quality i have experienced whilst playing with different brands of tank bags on a variety of different bikes. They also have a size and model to fit several different riding/motorcycle styles, even dual sports!

And if you’re ballin on a tighter budget, a lot of the smaller options without the integrated water bladders are wayyyyy cheaper!

If it helps, I did outfit it on my 250L once, and…. It works… but it definitely takes up a lot of real estate on a smaller bike like that. I went with a Gnome for my 250, and it’s perfect, especially if you’re looking to relocate some water up front.

Great video. Thanks for it, it really help me to make my choice.

Thank you! Hopefully, I can do a review of some other mosko stuff I’ve got in the near future. The gnome might be next on the list.

Could you do an in-depth rig walkaround of your bike? I am looking into the hobby and would like to learn more about yours.

I’ve had my Nomax V2 for a couple of years (bought used) and have yet to utilize all the compartments. Probably won’t upgrade for a while. It’s a solid piece of kit for sure.

@PastthePavementwBrady

They’re so organized that it’s easy to end up carrying way more than you realize. The V2 is awesome, and I wouldn’t have even considered upgrading if they didn’t put the expansion zipper on it. After getting it, I can see it’s a worthwhile upgrade, but I also could have been fine with a V2 for years to come.

I’m a Mosko fanboy, and I had the V2. I sold it though, because it felt like it was overdesigned. Too many layers, zippers, pockets, etc. made for a lot of fiddling with things when used regularly. I ended up going back to my Hood tank bag. I want to love the bag because it does so many things, but I think the problem might be is that it does so many things.

You definitely have to get into a kind of rhythm when you use it, and it’s easy to overpack it. I keep all of the stuff I *might* need in the pocket with all of the organizers. It’s a good spot for things like chargers and things you might carry just in case. And then the main pocket is usually open for carrying larger items or stuff I might need to access often. It can be a pain, but when on longer trips (especially camping), it’s nice to know I have everything I need and also to know where it is without having to dig around a whole bunch.

Great review! I have the V1 which has served me well over many miles. I wasn't considering upgrading, but the expansion ability would be nice. Unfortunately that $300 buy-in has me a bit cold.

@PastthePavementwBrady

It is a hefty price! I’ve never seen a V1 in person, but I’ve seen some reviews of it. It looks like it’s a great bag. The expansion is nice for peace of mind. Surprisingly, I still haven’t used it!

What a wonderful review. Thanks for this! I had one question - I run a KTM 390 Adv on most days. Would it be too large for that bike? Otherwise I am absolutely sold on the Nomax. Seems to be a well thought & engineered bag.

I would buy this if it was designed as a tail bag. What tail bag are you currently running on your AT? I have the same bike.

Man their stuff is expensive... but man it's really good.

They are the best quality kit in the world. I have a Nomax tank bag. They are really, really thought out. It can't be secured to the bike so you cant leave it unattended. Then again, those that can will just be ripped off by a thief. It comes into its own for 'proper' adventure riders who ride in sparsley populated areas, where you dont hsve to keep taking it off and putting it on again. It also has a bladder pack with is great.

Yeah, it’s a little freaky to think about all the stuff someone could get away with when you have a bag like that on the bike. That is one really nice thing about mosko though; they make it convenient to carry their bags off of the bike by making their bags convertible to backpacks/hip packs. You still have to deal with securing the bag again when you get back to the bike though.

I’d love to see a review of the Gnome if you could! I have a smaller bike that this would be way too big for and I’m curious if that’s a good option for me 👀

Haha! That’s awesome! Several years ago, I fashioned some fishing rod holders for my dual sport and made them interchangeable with my FZ09 so that I could pack out fishing stuff more reliably/conveniently. It worked great, but it looked pretty silly. Gotta make it your own!

Anyone fit this on a Honda cb500x? I'm not sure about the size.

Thank you for detailed review! Looking for a tank bag for my camera. Imho the most secure position of the camera is in the middle on a tank, between wheels, less vibration and shaking. I noticed you put a Sony alpha series inside with lens unmounted. 1) Do you think your camera could fit inside with "capacity increase zipper" opened with 24-70mm lens installed? 2) And also I see it is already big even on AT, I have CRF300L but I think I will go that big tank bag route, I haven't found small tanks bags for camera keeping purposes. P.S. I like how Tusk Olympus fits on a tank, but it is made of a very thin fabric material, needs to be modified with some foam rubber and armoring with polycarbonate, Mosko Moto Nomax V3 looks, and priced mush more solidly)).

@PastthePavementwBrady

I agree! Less vibration, especially since the tank is usually mounted on rubber to some extent. And it’s the part on the bike with the least directional change when you go over bumps. 1. You definitely could fit a Sony Alpha series with a standard zoom lens the way you’re talking. I have done it with my Tamron 28-75, but there isn’t much room left when you do. If you were to expand the bag, it would be no problem at all. 2. I put it on my 250L at one point when I was considering non-camera options for a long trip. It fit, but it definitely feels like it takes up more space on that bike than it does on the Africa Twin. I ended up going a different route for that trip, but my buddy was in a pinch and needed something to carry water on that same trip, and he ended up rocking it on his KLX300 for about 750 miles. It didn’t seem to bug him even though we were doing a lot of off-road miles. Do note that I added some foam backing to mine to help protect the camera. Btw, I was using an A7-series in that bag. I now have a 6700 that I got almost exclusively to pack on the bike, and it fits in the bag even better. Anything bigger than the A7-series cameras, and you’d definitely have to expand the bag and get creative with how you pack it.

It does have both of those just like the V2. I have never used either feature, so I didn’t include them in my review, but they are there. Good call out!

Cut about 6-7” off of the hose or to where it’s about an inch from the second clip and remove the last clip off of the bottom of the bag. Huge upgrade as far as interference when standing.

That’s a great suggestion! I haven’t brought myself to actually modify the hose yet, but I do feel like as far as interference when standing goes, the hose is the main perpetrator.

It’s the Nelson Rigg Trails End Adventure tail bag. They have 3 sizes, and this one is the Adventure size. It’s been great, but after lots of dusty riding has led to the zippers malfunctioning a bit. Lots of miles on it before that happened though.

Doesn’t the bag scratch tank when bike is dusty or dirty?

@PastthePavementwBrady

8 ай бұрын

I haven’t experienced that on these bags, and I’ve put probably 5000 on them, most of those miles being in dusty dirty conditions. The bag stays put for the most part when riding, so it doesn’t move around enough or allow much dirt to get underneath it that it causes issues. I have noticed, however, that the straps that go to the frame in the back are scuffing up the finish on the tank a little. My bike has about 25000 miles on it not, so I’ve just come to accept that it’s not going to look perfect if I use it how I like to use it, but if I had the little grippy pads that go on the side of the tank, the finish scuffing wouldn’t be an issue at all, even with the straps.

I have an AT with a V1 Nomad (before the Nomax). My biggest complaint is the size- you can’t properly stand over the bike. I’ve been wearing as backpack more and more.

Its colour matches your bikes colour scheme

so is it worth the price?

Mosko makes nice stuff but pricey.. I like the color but that bag looks completely out-of-place on your AT, it doesn’t match the camel hump tank geometry and sits too far rearward. No map window is a deal breaker for a tank bag. I do like it double duties as a backpack..

@PastthePavementwBrady

6 ай бұрын

That’s an interesting observation, and I understand what you’re saying. I think the best fitting bag for the AT is the OEM Honda bag, but because it focuses so much on matching the exact shape, it compromises a lot on space. Regardless, fitment was definitely a concern of mine when ordering this bag, and from a practical standpoint, it seems to fit on the bike just fine. They do sell a map pocket that attaches to the top, but I have never found myself in need of a paper map, so I haven’t got it.

300+$ For a paint scratching strap nightmare like that? Its a HARD pass for me!

@PastthePavementwBrady

7 ай бұрын

To each their own! While it doesn’t really scratch up my paint or anything anyway, scratches from a bag are definitely not the worst thing I ask my bike to hold up to, so it’s not that big of a deal to me. The straps have started to scuff the finish on the tank, but I could have easily avoided that by having tank pads that most people put on their bikes anyway.

No not worth $ 550 here in Australia…. Yes looking at the bag it was perfect for what I’m looking for, but yeah no. $550 is criminal. For a bag design that’s been around for the last 10 years that they just put tank straps on to make it worse it’s not even waterproof/ weather proof. Even looking at using that $310 with exchange rate. It’s about $440 aus.

For me, that's an easy,,,, no. The Tusq $75 one holds your crap just fine, and puts crap ton more miles in your tank, beers in your belly, and a v-day gift for your gf,,,, yeah, that's coming right up. I bought a mm tank bag for the fit, and promptly returned it. It wasn't the size stated, way overengineered for a "bag", and so many pockets no way I could remember which one I put shit in. Yeah, very nicely made, and great people, but squarely marketing to the mosko moto gucci crowd.

Absolutely not way to large why do you top heavy the bike when you do not need too.

@PastthePavementwBrady

6 ай бұрын

It’s a good way to move stuff from a pannier rack or tail rack closer to the front of the bike. Sure, weighting the top of the bike is not ideal, but I prefer adding weight there than putting even more weight out back over the back tire. This keeps the weight of your daily carry and water between the axles.

I’ve got an early version of the nomax. Don’t use it much, too stiff, pockets don’t really work for me, not water proof, doesn’t fit the Africa twin tank shape very well.

@PastthePavementwBrady

8 ай бұрын

If it’s any consolation, I had the V2, and it didn’t fit as well on my Africa twin as the V3 does. At the end of my video, I discussed some of the differences between the versions, and I think they changed the harness location on the V3. That seemed to make it fit my bike much better than the V2! They also come with rain covers now, but I have heard that some early iterations of their bags don’t always come with things like that.

Oh man "Giant Loop" products look like crap. Oh I'm sure they function fine but they get no points for design or style. God-dam they are ugly. I have mosko moto gear on 3 of my bikes. I drove 5,000 miles from Beaumont, TX to Montana last summer with all Mosko gear. One word, perfect. I bought the tank bag he has and a whole 40L rackless system for my KTM500 EXCF with their pico tank bag. I like their shit and I like it a lot. Foock that ugly-ass giant loop crap.
