FAQs

What are the dimensions of the tail bag when expanded?

When expanded, the tail bag measures approximately 35.5 cm (length) x 28.0 cm (width) x 28.0 cm (height), offering a capacity of 27.7 liters.

Is the bag completely waterproof?

The bag features water-resistant zippers to help keep dust and dirt out, but it is not rated as fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use internal dry bags or an external cover.

How do I clean the tail bag?

Clean the bag using a damp cloth and a mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Can this bag be mounted on any motorcycle?

The bag is designed to mount on most racks or seats, particularly suited for dual-sport and enduro motorcycles. Ensure you have suitable anchor points for the webbing straps.

What is UltraMax® fabric?

UltraMax® fabric is a high-performance material used by Nelson Rigg that offers maximum UV protection, ensuring excellent resistance to sun fading and degradation.

Does the bag hold its shape when empty?

Yes, the bag is designed to hold its shape even when it is not fully packed.

What is the purpose of the MOLLE panel?

The MOLLE panel on the lid allows you to attach additional gear or accessories externally using compatible straps or pouches.

Troubleshooting

Bag is not secure on the motorcycle

Ensure all webbing straps are threaded correctly and buckles are tightened firmly. Check that the mounting points on the motorcycle are stable and suitable for the bag's straps.

Zippers are difficult to open or close

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the bag is not overstuffed, which can put pressure on the zippers.

Bag interior gets wet during heavy rain

While the zippers are water-resistant, the bag is not fully waterproof. For extended periods of heavy rain, consider using internal dry bags or a separate waterproof cover for maximum protection.

Reflective piping appears damaged

Gently clean the area with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can damage the reflective coating.
