A motorcycle tank bag is a useful piece of luggage when it comes to keeping to hand things such as sunglasses, travel documents, maps, phones, cameras and other bits when on the road. But there are tank bags and good tank bags. A good tank bag for a start is one that doesn’t scratch your tank! It can be securely fitted to your tank so that it doesn’t move while riding, provides the right amount of storage and is of the right shape so that it doesn’t affect your position while riding. Last but not least, it must be 100% waterproof!

How and why we have selected this tank bag?
We’ve selected only three tank bags out of hundreds of pieces of motorcycle luggage available in the market based on our experiences on the road. We have chosen this motorbike luggage as among the best for several reasons.

• No scratch guarantee – no magnets! Just four anchorage points to securely fix the tank bag on the tank cover. This bag will never damage your tank when fitted with the matching tank cover.
• Ergonomic size – this tank bag has a volume of 12 litres which can double when expanded to 21 litres. It means you can have a really compact bag which does not impact your position on the bike and expend it as needed for longer trips.
• 100% waterproof – it comes with a waterproof cover which is easily accessible and takes just seconds to slip on. The waterproof cover is see-through so that you can still read the map when it’s on!
• Backpack function – ergonomic straps to wear it as a backpack . It’s very handy to be able to carry the bag with you when you leave the bike as it usually contains your travel documents, wallets, cameras and other valuables. The straps are really confortable and you can also wear the tank bag as a rucksack while riding even on very long rides.
• Made to last – made of sturdy material, this motorcycle tank bag is built to last. Bagster is the leading French manufacturer and provides a one year guarantee just in case.

The Bagster Minea tank bag is designed to be fixed on a Bagster tank cover or universal fitter. You will need one of these to fit the tank bag to your bike. This tank bag doesn’t have any magnets but uses hooks and straps which are designed to fit perfectly to the anchorage points on the Bagster tank cover or the Bagster universal fitter. It just takes few seconds to clip the bag on the tank cover and a few seconds to remove. The adjustable straps allow you to tightly fix the bag against the tank cover so that it doesn’t move at any speed. You can rest assured that your tank will never get scratched and the bag will stay in place.

Many bikers have made the mistake of buying a magnetic tank bang. They may be cheap but will quickly scratch the paint work and fuel cap. In our personal experience, even magnetic tank bags with so-called anti-scratch materials cause damage after just a couple of weeks of touring. Dust will always get in and rub against the paintwork. This is why we do not sell magnetic tank bags.
