Following the significant upgrades announcement to its range of rigid cases, Kappa has launched into the thermo-formed bags segment with a pair of 17 litre saddlebags.
Their key-locked RA314 panniers are designed to replicate the structural performance associated with rigid cases as they retain their shape with or without load, and attach to the motorcycle frame by means of a specifically designed mounting system. However, the design is also said to exploit the light weight and compact features that are typical of soft bags.
With an internal capacity of 17 litres they are made of EVA, externally coated using 1000d polyester and PU. Although designed to complement naked and sportsbikes, these side panniers are versatile and will easily work well with other motorcycle styles. As standard they are equipped with studs along the base, a rain cover, a padlock that blocks the closed zipper on the lid, a carry handle, internal elastic straps to stabilise the load and a webbed compartment separating the inside of the lid from the rest of the case. Measurements are H 28.8 x W 44.3 x D 20.5 cm.
They feature Kappa's fast EasyLock mounting system where the bags simply attach to the separately sold model-specific metallic frame.
