Summary of All Types of Popular Bags and Cases for Motorcycles [Latest Webike Ranking]

What kind of bags do you use for your motorcycle?

There are many types of bags that are used for motorcycles. You may have a bag or case that attaches directly to the motorcycle, or a bag that can be used on a daily basis like a backpack. Or you may not be using the bags that motorcycle manufacturers provide for their riders.

So, in this article, I'll show you how to choose a bag for your motorcycle and introduce you to all the popular bags and cases at Webike! This should give you an idea of the perspective from which riders choose their bags!

How to choose a motorcycle bag

There is no denying that bags that are used in daily life cannot be used for touring. The reason why bags for riders are good is that they are equipped with many features that support the rider while riding. They are designed to prevent flapping due to wind and are waterproof and water-repellent for a safe and comfortable ride.

However, you can use any bag that you normally use. However, keep in mind that a bag that takes into account your riding posture and the wind you are exposed to while riding will be safer for you. This will help you choose the right bag in the future.

Think about the amount of luggage you have.

First of all, you should choose the size of the bag according to what you are going to carry. If you usually carry a lot of things, you may want to choose a type of seat bag that attaches to the motorcycle rather than a bag that hangs on your shoulder to prevent fatigue. We recommend that you choose the type of bag that best suits your needs!

Consider stability and fatigue resistance.

It is important for riders to have a bag that is stable and does not cause fatigue when riding for long periods of time. Bags for riders are made for riders, so they have a variety of functions. In particular, seat bags and cases that are attached to the vehicle body can reduce stability and fatigue.

When using a backpack or day bag, I recommend the type with a waist belt that can be fastened around the waist. By securely fastening it around your waist, you can reduce the up and down swaying while riding, which can significantly reduce the burden on your body. A chest strap also increases the sense of stability.

Consider the functionality of the bag.

Make sure your bag is waterproof! You want to be able to ride without panicking when it suddenly rains while riding. In addition to the waterproofing of the fabric, it is also advisable to check the waterproofing of the opening!

So without further ado, here's the first place winner in each of the bag and case categories!
