Top Case

Choose the right topcase for your motorbike

Many motorcyclists enjoy spending long periods on the road. In addition to shorter tours in the surrounding area, weekend trips are particularly popular with bikers. It is important to be properly prepared for every excursion. Whether it's just a mobile phone and wallet for a short trip or clothes for a whole weekend, motorcyclists always have luggage with them. Since not all the items you need usually fit in your jacket pockets, it's worth getting motorcycle luggage.

What are the advantages of topcases?

Topcases are a very common and popular way of storing luggage on a motorbike. Whether it's your everyday shopping, rainwear or a briefcase, the topcase offers you enough space for your luggage and has some key advantages. They allow you to distribute your weight evenly, which leads to improved stability and handling. This is particularly helpful if you like to go on long trips or don't have much experience yet.

At the same time, the material used to make top cases provides secure and waterproof storage for your belongings. You can usually lock them, giving you peace of mind when you take a break. In an emergency, you can also remove your top case in a few simple steps and take it with you. Some of the top cases have back cushions and can be used as a backrest for the passenger. Others offer you a luggage grill to combine additional bags with your topcase.

What should I look for when choosing a topcase?

The first thing to consider when choosing a topcase is the size. The topcase should offer enough storage space for your luggage and at the same time not be too bulky. If you are only going on a day trip, for example, a case for your helmet is often enough. However, if you want to travel longer, you should choose a case with a larger volume. The material of your topcase is also important. High-quality material is particularly useful to ensure durability and weather resistance. Aluminium topcases, for example, are waterproof and score points with their low weight. When buying, make sure that the seals are continuous so that your case is absolutely waterproof and dustproof. Above all, it is important to mount your topcase correctly. As a rule, Bagtecs cases come with a universal mounting plate. So you can mount the cases on almost any motorcycle with just a few adjustments.

How fast can you drive with a topcase?

The manufacturer Bagtecs states a maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h for riding a motorcycle with a topcase.
