I've been using the Rhinowalk medium saddle bags for offroad ADV on my DR650. They are great for the price. So far they have performed amazingly well. Having said that, the quality is miles away from mosko (as well as the price). While the bags are fine, Rhinowalk's straps feels very thin and cheap. I am pretty sure they will end up breaking. I've found that the best balance are the Tusk. I own the traverse panniers, a 30l duffel and a tank bag and they really are much better quality than Rhinowalk without breaking the bank.

Never underestimate the power of waterproofing spray. I bought some SW Motech stuff in a sale when I was a new rider 6 years ago. I didn’t realise it wasn’t waterproof until it arrived and both the tail bag and tank bag came with water proof liners. That seemed annoying so I used the waterproof spray that you use on clothes. I reapply it twice a year, I’ve literally never had a leak despite hours in torrential rain. If you want water proof water proof you need a dry bag tbh. You can’t relay on any waterproof motorcycle gear that isn’t brand new. Anything you use daily or often will spring a leak in the end and you’ll find out when it’s raining heaviest. Rubberised roll tops are best. But tbh you can probably avoid spending a lot of money and use what you have. I have a cheap Amazon motorcycle back pack I use for commuting. It’s made more than waterproof enough by a cheap Amazon back pack rain cover and a cargo net on the back seat. I’m not saying water proof gear is a waste of money, it’s just that if you ride in rain a lot you realise cheap hacks are actually often better than that storm proof do it all thousand dollar gear. I’ve never spring a leak on the SW Motech gear, but I always put my cloths inside a carrier bag if it’s a rainy day because it’s just common sense, and you know what? I still did the same with my old kreiga. Which was good because it sprung a leak after 2.5 years. Incidentally that could be fixed with a bicycle puncture repair kit lol. Look at it this way - we buy adventure suits with water proof liners and such, but when it’s actually a rainy day that’s stupid, you just put the $100 rain overalls over the top and get to work with bone dry gear not a soggy adventure suit to hang somewhere

Rocky Mountain ATVMC also make the Tusk Highland X2 bags which are the best budget friendly option in my opinion. They're similar to the Musko Moto at half the price. I've done the Wyoming BDR with them, and ridden from South Dakota to Florida and back with them and it's a great system. With the large duffel bag and the 4 added 2L bags, you can get upwards of 90 liters of space. And the duffel bag comes off with just a couple clips so having all your clothes in that bag is handy for taking it into the tent or hotel room.

Mosko bags all day long. Fantastic design and customer service. It’s been years since I’ve bought product(s) from them- they keep performing as stated. I sold a VStrom stocked w/Mosko. Talk about replies w/no haggle.

I LOVE how your bags have dirt on them. I never thought to check another reviewers stuff before but that dirt shows that you actually used these things. 45 FOR PRESIDENT!

I've been using Mosko bags for years and they've held up incredibly well. Currently run the Kriega OS for day rides and a Mosko Reckless 80 for longer trips. Love both systems.

The good thing about kriega, and why I went for it is I can use a single bag as a daily comuter as a "backpack" to go to university when I installed the shoulder strap. Attach it to the bike without the base just the lops and ready to go no luggage straped to me. And as an extra I can use it as a system with another bag to go adv riding on weekends.

Yes, Wolfman is a terrific, high quality product. Also, if you care, made in the USA.

My only issue with most of the bags reviewed is that they mount very high - which is (usually) necessary if you want to go 'rackless'. However, if you are willing to put racks on your bike I think getting the weight down lower is a real benefit to off road handling. I have been using a pair of adventure spec Magadan's for years now and really like them - similar features to the Mosko moto's, but they mount much lower. Great video as always - love it when ever a new Fort9 vid pops up! Kudo's to you guys for not just selling what you sell, but actually reviewing all kinds of products. Very Canadian of you!

If you don’t have the money for the mosko moto pack, try the alternative from 21 Brothers. I bought them for a two months off-road trip around east Europe and I love them. They’re a lot simpler than the mosko moto ones but I can tell you they can take a beating. I’ve fallen multible times off-road and even once at 50km/h on the road. Only scratches and the outer pocket got scuffed. The inner bag is still 100% waterproof.

Nice - rare honesty from a retailer!

I went with rigid storage from Happy Trails and still love them after 15+ years. Requires a rack but the rack offers good bike protection when the side cases are off (which is most of the time). Almost like a rear crash bar. Hard mounted the trunk and wired it up for admore lighting as well as internal power for usb charging; perfect size for storing my helmet. Completely waterproof, been through many crashes with minimal damage (plus repairable by welding if damaged), and can strap on soft luggage if more space is needed. Plus, zero brand logos so I don't look like an advertisement rolling down the road. Heavier but insanely practical.

Recommending stuff you don't sell... that's some serious boost in trust!

Very concise and informative. Thanks!

Jeeeez bro that 4.0 trailer with the voice change and everything was just so cool and smooth. These videos are awesome I’m happy I stumbled upon this channel when I got my bike

Hands down that’s the best looking Dr 650 Suzuki has made.

I saw another FortNine video notification and didn't even wait for KZread to fully load before clicking on the link. I am never disappoint. 🤓

That $1200 price tag SHOULD give you heartburn. Instead, get a plastic footlocker, scrap plywood, a handful of fasteners, and a topbox rack that fits your bike. First, bolt a slab of plywood slightly larger than your footlocker onto your topbox rack, then fasten bolts through two skinny planks of wood slightly shorter than your locker arranged on both long edges of the locker, through the bottom of the locker, and finally through that plywood that's already affixed to your bike. It will cover your passenger seat, it will not be waterproof, but it won't cost $1200 either and it will be a superior product for most peoples' needs. Need to access it? Unclasp two latches and the whole lid swings open. There's enough room for a gallon of water, a sleeping bag, a hammock system, food, a backpack, and riding gear. Pick a bolt head size that can be undone with your factory toolkit for extra peace of mind when you're far from your garage.

Great video and good info. Thanks!

Loved the David Attenborough reference, he IS the Master! LOL

#45 has got THE PERFECT subway sandwich. Absolute GOAT. I look forward to these videos! Thanks for the entertainment!

Once again a thoughtful and well done review. 24 countries so far with 21 of those being 2up. The security and durability of locking metal side bags (Jesse) has kept our gear and electronics safe and . I can see the advantages of soft bags but the physical security and durablity of metal bags provides us some distinct and unique advantages. We still strap a small Ortlieb Duffel with the waterproof T-zip closure on the tail rack surrounded by a PacSafe Anti-Theft Backpack & Bag Protector and lock that to the bike. With metal bags you know exactly how much room you have to split lanes in busy cities because the bike's width never changes and you don't have to monitor loose straps. I am a tank bag user and really like my Enduristan Sandstorm Tank Bag, (and their accessory bits). W carrying a spare map sleeve in one of the saddlebags as a document case, as well as, an extra clip and strap. Nothing is more useless than a tank bag that has lost its ability to remain attached to your tank.

I've got Mosko's rack-mounted Back Country panniers on my 890... 0 issues after 6,000+ miles, hitting terrain on the northern CO BDR and many miles of double track and fire roads. They've been dragged through sand, gravel and mud, brushed against rock walls in tight trails... hell I don't even hesitate to get 2-3 feet of air with them fully loaded!

Concise and incredibly helpful? What?!

All the mosko stuff is so well designed. All those guys actually ride hard and use their shit, and you can tell in the design!!

This is great help with saddlebag selection. I really didn't realize the advantages of these new systems, as I only have experience with the horseshoe and classical designs.

I own the Reckless 80 v3.0 and it's quite possibly the most well built piece of luggage I've ever owned. It's nearly perfect. The bag almost withstood a 70mph slide down the asphalt in Montana, but it did break through both the shell and liner. I only had some minor damage to the contents. Their warranty is beyond and above others.

Just a few hours I was watching your 7-year-old videos on tank bags and panniers. Great timing!

There's also the super cheap option, two hello kitty backpacks, one gym bag, and a bunch of bungee cords and prayers to keep them attached to your bike

Dude, I only buy Mosko Moto luggage. It costs several fortunes, but is 100% worth it. Not just the quality and functionality of the gear, but their service is second to none.

I love the look of my 2nd generation Bandit 1200 S and I would never ruin it plastic hard luggage. To that end, I opted for the Kriega US. US means Universal System and that's exactly what it is. Only 4 small nylon loops and visible and I can strap on any combination from the 20l bag all the way up to the 40l bag and all the bags connect to each other. For my daily commute, I just use my 20l with the shoulder strap that it came with. There is also an optional universal tank bag adapter, but it has to be partially removed to fill the tank. Thanks for the detailed review Clone 45 and RF9.

Just ordered a mosko tank bag for Black Friday. Can’t wait for it.
