2020 Motorcycle Riding Luggage from Nelson Rigg®
Posted by Damian Ercole on 14th Feb 2020
For years Nelson-Rigg® has flown under the radar as a major player in the motorcycle luggage scene. However, they are making a statement with their new lineup of 2020 products.
They put out really well-made and thought out gear at a very reasonable price. After your purchase, you can expect to get years of service out of their products. So let’s get down to it and talk about their new riding gear for 2020.
With adventure riding gaining in popularity like it has over the years, Nelson-Rigg® has stepped it up with two different sizes of the Dual Sport / Enduro Tail Bags.
Designed to mount to the tail of motorcycle or even a sissy bar, each bag is sized differently with the 1055 being more than double the size of the 1050. These bags have a lifetime warranty, are made from UV-protected material, and have a tactical style MOLLE panel on the lid for securing other items. These bags also come with a rubberized handle for easy transport when not mounted to your bike. If you’re a 2-UP rider, this bag won’t interfere with your passenger’s comfort. Installation is a breeze; simply position the bag on the seat or rack of the motorcycle and strap down with the four heavy duty mounting straps. Just make sure that the straps are out of the way of any moving parts and the bag is far enough from any hot parts on your engine or exhaust that may burn it.
Also for the adventure rider is a tank-mounted and waterproof Magnetic Phone Holder.
For under $50, this tank-mounted device holder features 100% waterproof materials and closures, is sized to fit all current plus size phones, and has a clear touch screen device with friendly inner sleeves to hold credit cards, license and small documents.
If you are a pet lover and enjoy riding with your little companion, Nelson-Rigg® has a great solution for you. New for 2020 is the Rover Pet Carrier.
This Pet Carrier can mount to tour trunk racks, sissy bars or seats using quick-release and self-fastening straps to safely transport pets up to 20 lbs. This bag has a large lid for easy access to and removal of your pet as well as a 2-stage zipper opening. The first stage zipper allows only flap to open with the mesh section closed for air flow, while the second stage zipper opens a mesh panel to allow your pet to look out while on an integrated leash. The wide front panel also has a two stage opening that allows access to a mesh porch. When open, this porch allows more room for your pet when NOT mounted to a vehicle.
And don’t forget the all-important Tool Roll.
The Nelson-Rigg® Gear Tool Roll is the perfect product to keep those tools tidy, accessible and stowed out of the way. If you are riding without tools, you are riding on borrowed time. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when you will break down, especially if you are a dual sport or adventure rider. Make it one of your priorities to put together some tools for basic roadside repairs.
One of the most inconvenient issues with riding motorcycles is the lack of storage to transport items. With some knowledge of available products and a little thought, this inconvenience can turn into a more enjoyable riding experience. The ability to carry things will give you more reasons to get out there and ride!
