I had some new AV and audio kit I needed to test... what better way than by reviewing my new Kriega US20 tail pack. Couldn't have done it without mentioning the poor quality of the Givi panniers I had before. I hope this is helpful.

  • Can you fit your motorcycle jacket, trousers and boots in it?

  • @rgaufman I ride in top-of-the-line BMW gear, so no, the armour means that I struggle to fit my riding gear into even a 75l bag (!). But I did ride the length of New Zealand and back using only the Kriega20 carrying washbag, change of clothes, iPad, chargers and a few other bits with no problem. For a long trip like that again I'd add two US10s on either side, but I easily managed it and I usually pack heavy!

  • Nice review, thanks. I've been swinging between the US-20 and the new Oxford RT-30 but the Kriega wins out because of the much more convenient strap system.

  • @Sparkie57 Yep.... I'm pretty sure that Oxford have jumped on the Kriega bandwagon there. It's worth noting that since doing this video, Kriega have also released a larger US30. Oh, and I rode the length of New Zealand (and back) with my Kriega US20 as my only luggage. It was absolutely phenomenal.

  • Good plan @Titot182. Haven't tried an R20 but I like to keep the weight off me and on the bike. They are great kit if your preference is for a backpack though.

  • get any cooler mate yuo'll freeze.

  • Like to see you pack your lunch,your laptop and it's accessories etc etc in the beginning you spoke about. Without it getting in your way. Should of compared it with the givi tw01 or tw02.

  • Also the givi panniers and the kriega US20 are two different luggage types you can't compare the two, they are different products different purposes.

  • Why you British cunts blatantly bag other countries product and praise your own.blatantly! I know people with kriega stuff and they hate it and I have a givi and it's sweet. People dont want nationalistic $hit in reviews they want good honest reviews.

  • Great review, thanks!

  • This is a great review, I was looking to buy one! I have the same colour sv650s K8, and after watching this seeing exactly how it would fit have just ordered!! Many thanks
