New Blaze panniers are hot stuff for sports bikes

Bikes like the BMW S1000RR and Kawasaki's ZX-10R feature race-inspired styling; great for aerodynamics and weight saving, but not so good for mounting luggage. The new Blaze Pannier concept from Germany's SW Motech combines aspects of both soft and hard luggage, so is perfectly suited to sports machines; offering serious carrying capacity, in a stable and secure package.

Unlike any other soft luggage available today, the SW Motech Blaze panniers use a clever, Quick-Lock rail system, which is discrete, lightweight and doesn’t add bulk to the machine, like hard luggage mounting systems. Simple to fit, it needs no drilling or cutting, or the addition of any extra tubing, brackets of fixings. Simply clamp the Quick Lock Mounts to the footrest hangers, push in the rails, slide on the panniers and clip in place.

The rails keep the load stable, secure and away from the wheel, chain and other moving parts, ensuring that the panniers don’t shift, even during hard riding. They also eliminate the need for fiddly, scratchy straps and bungee chords.

When the destination is reached, the rails can be removed in seconds, leaving only the discrete clamps behind, and the machine completely uncluttered.

Blaze Panniers are made from high quality 1680 Ballistic-Nylon, (originally developed for air crew flak jackets) and feature a stiff construction to help maintain shape and make packing easier. There is a zipper mechanism that allows them to expand from 28  to 42 litre capacity (per pair), and come complete with waterproof inner bags, reflective detailing and an optional cable lock for extra peace of mind.

A complete system costs just £201.64.
