Excellent review mate...answered all my questions with zero "ummms"!!!!. Finally, someone who actually rides and uses the item for its intended purpose. Mate I have owned them all....Giant Loop, Andy Straps, Kriega, Enduristan and Mosko Moto...In my opinion, all are way overpriced for what I consider to be a disposable item in the event of a fall. You are a well-spoken, funny guy, who doesn't take himself too seriously, but has obviously made the effort and spent a lot of time figuring out how to present your review professionally. Hopefully I will meet you out on the dirt one day.
Yeah mate I edited out a fair amount of umms lol, just a bad habit of mine. Yeah I 100% agree a lot of the panniers on the market today are super overpriced. Definitely don’t take myself too seriously and love a good laugh even if it’s at my expense. Thanks for the kind words mate, glad you enjoyed the vid👍
I have the same panniers and some 10L Rhinowalks mounted on the front crash bars. Just rode 4500km with them. Dropped the bike slightly damaged one of the front 10L but was amazed didn’t cause more damage. Would buy again. To avoid the plastics scratches from dust, apply duct tape to the plastics prior.
Hey mate! Just a guy from Singapore here. Just wanna say GREAT review! You’ve helped me made the decision to get them, especially loved the pros & cons mentioned as well as the details you’ve put into talking about the lock systems & what fits inside them. Two thumbs up mate! 👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to review these. Stumbled upon the brand after searching for cheaper options. I'm looking into getting an ADV bike and starting motocamping after many years on sport bikes. Been doing a few overnighters in hotels but want to get into the back country and these look like they'll easily do the job!
I had also purchased a similar product Rhinowalk saddlebags 28L MT1448XL but used it with Rhinowalk universal saddle base MT002A as the base rack. Both work well on my African Twin Adventure Sport model 2018. Last December I travel about 6000km from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia to Phonsavan Laos without any problem. Even with speeds around 150-170 kph. The maximum speed I achieved was 200 kph. You may need to tie the bag with some cable tie to secure it. The product is waterproof so far. The cons for the saddlebag is it may take some time for you to fit the bag to your bike. But the price is reasonable for the quality you get. I like using this saddlebag because it snugly fits to my bike so it will balance the weight. There are no worries that the saddlebag may catch an object or car as the outline is narrow.
Great way to start a Sunday morning Great review on the bags mate and bloopers gold 😂 nice morning for a ride here in wa firing up the drz shortly keep the awesome content up dude 🤙👌
Loved the review mate, thanks. I have decided to pull the trigger on these after seeing your review. Number one reason is I dont know really what to get and the price is great. So, if I like them great if not then not a big financial loss. Many thanks....the bloopers were awesome, cheers
Exactly why I grabbed a pair, Low cost, let's see what I need, it don't matter if I ditch them, or they might work on the DRz and something else on the bigger rig. Great entry point. Cheers my friend.
A solid, useful review thanks mate. Am contemplating a set of these and a tail bag for myself, and have already ordered a set of their crash-bar bags for a total of $90, delivered. Pricing alone is a huge factor for me. I simply can't justify spending top dollar if a system like this will be adequate for my needs. They look good too. Loved the outtakes. Can relate completely 🤣😂🤣Cheers, David
Yeah mate I totally agree, no need for top shelf panniers when you can get the same use out of ones a third of the price. Haha yep there’s always plenty of outtakes😂thanks for watching David👍
Great vid and I want a set of these for later this year. But I can’t seem to see any mounted on an F850GS Exhaust rub is my concern. Have you seen any??
Ha ha 10 points for the blooper reel, we all do it and sometimes you just can’t get out what you want to say ha ha. Top stuff. But yeah I’d hate to go out and drop a bike on a $1000 set of panniers. And with all the punishment you’ve already dished out to these ones it’s proof the cheaper option isn’t the bad one like it once was. The cheaper stuff on the market now is a lot better quality then it was 10 years ago. And with soo many different brands on the market as someone looking to get a set it’s reviews like this that help alot in the decision making. Thanks for the review man
100% agree mate cheaper brands these days aren’t necessarily bad, just wanted to give some honest feedback for others based off my experience with them to hopefully help. The good ol bloopers I had more of them then I care to admit😂good fun👍
Some people are naturals in front of a camera and there’s never a disconnect between the brain and mouth, but for most of us if a video wasn’t edited it would be twice as long and we’d never get to the point lol
Hey mate, thanks for the great review! Going on a 20,000km / 9 month trip through the silk road on a CRF 300 - would you recommend these or do you think they'd hold on?
Hey Tony that’s awesome mate I can’t see why not, mine are still going strong after now having for 10,000kms unless you fall off pretty bad they should be sweet. Enjoy your adventure mate👍
good little review mate, don’t be so hard on yourself. The realism of speaking like a human where you say umm or other random words isn’t an issue. Just keep on doing what you’re doing.
Great review. I have a set of 28 ltr Rhino’s they’re excellent. Those straps on the bottom I use to carry my camp chair that’s in a bag and the other side I strap my bike cover that’s in a bag as well. 👍
You'll be happy to know they honour the warranty. I put a tear in one of my bags, sent them an email saying there is a fault and included a pic. They replied with an email and then sent out new bag set the following week. I purchased the bags through Off Track Moto.
Ive been consideing these myself, was thinking about the 14 l ones but the bigger ones like yours dont seem too big at all.are you still using them or have you upgraded now?
Hey mate I still have these ones and just used them in my latest Simpson desert crossing. Both the other guys I traveled with had them as well and tore theirs along as seam however the were falling off on them a fair bit so with the all the bikes weight landing on them first while the bikes still moving forward I’m assuming that’s why they tore along the seam. Iv probably put about 15,000 kms through mine so fare👍
I’m in the process of researching what system I want for my T7 World Raid. These are on the list. A good point you made is about the bag rubbing on the side covers, which is a negative for me so I’m leaning towards a rack system. Very good presentation mate, and the bloopers section just tops it off. Well done.
All soft panniers will do that. Or rather dust and all the dirt that gets in between the plastic covers and the luggage. You need to protect the side covers somehow. Either with some ducktape, car wrap or light side rack (adventure spec or bulldozer have those for T7).
❤❤ gold mate!! This has made my mind up, like a lot of riders, budget comes into play. As much as I’d like a set of “branded” ones, these look like they’ll do the trick just fine 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Just decided against them because they’re a rackless system which appealed to me for a few reasons one being I like the more streamlined style for tighter bush adventures and didn’t want to spend the money for something that I didn’t think was necessary.
good infos, thanks. would be perfect to have rear view to see thickness of bags when full filled, to see how we could catch or not obstacles on tights tracks ;)
Yeah mate I should have put some footage in there. It definitely gets hung up on trees in the single trail luckily they’re a soft pannier and have a little bit of flexibility.
Yeah maybe man it needs to be like a belt buckle design not a plastic buckle so there’s a pin going through stopping movement just my thoughts anyway🤷♂️
@@anotherguyonabike4726thanks for the great review as I am looking for some soft bags for my DR650. I have used large safety pins through webbing to keep buckles from slipping on other things like this. Also, check out Tri-slide buckles. Another method is to put a few stitches of heavy thread through the straps.
Hey mate I have the O’Neal sierra 2, it’s considered an entry level helmet but I just love the fit and features it has, for example quick release chin strap and internal sun visor👌
That's awesome. @@anotherguyonabike4726 I keep reading all these reviews about the Arai XD4 and Klim Krios Pro, but its very big money.. went into a local shop - tried on an Airoh Commander, didn't like the fit, but tried on a relatively cheap $400 LS2 Explorer and really liked it on my head. I think a lot of the riding I'll end up doing will be similar to yours (brother in law got a DRZ recently, so I'm about to start shopping for one too!). Maybe one day we'll catch you for a ride (we're out Toowoomba way).
@@agro1942 yeah mate there’s definitely plenty to choose from that’s for sure, my dad just got the LS2 explorer and loves it. Awesome mate great bike you’ll love it definitely have to meet for a ride one day👍
I took two trips, totaling 8000 miles over 27 days with these. Still in great shape. - Frank

Haha yeah mate some good bloopers in this one😅thanks Phil👍
Awesome.. ordered. Great video, Best Bloopers!! 😂
Thanks mate I’m sure you love em👍
Exactly the info I was looking for and the "who are they for" describes me perfectly - solid review, thanks.
Glad it helped Matt👍
Thanks for your info & opinions bud.👍Good review, loved the bloopers mate. Keep it real.
Thanks legend, glad you enjoyed it👍
Sweet as bro. The time has come for me to think about what I require. This vid was helpful as champ.
Glad it helped Ben. I love mine and actually use them daily commuting to and from work as well👌
Good review, thanks! I wonder if you could tape up the straps between the bags to keep them from loosening?
Yeah possibly could mate, thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it👍
I think putting a half hitch at the buckle will prevent the webbing from slipping. Great video.
Good idea Lee, thanks mate👍
I add extra strapping between the panniers - using the rectangular D rings - to keep them from slipping down.
Great review.
Yeah great idea, thanks Brian👌

No worries mate👍

Thanks mate. Sorry I’m not sure if they have racks for the f850gs yet.
Try running a single stitch in the straps. It will keep them from loosening.
Yeah mate I think I’ll have to, cheers for the tip🤙

Just seeing them covered in dirt on the back of a DR sells them for me.
Haha absolutely mate.
great review mate, I've been looking at these, destroyed my nelson rigs one not long ago.
Thanks mate yeah they’re surprisingly resilient👌
Great video and information 👍You might try a locking bite through the buckles or replacing with tri glides.
Yeah great tip mate👌thanks for watching👍
At 17:38 Honestly reminds me of Will Ferrell Stepbrothers they way you turn. Makes me laugh every time.
