SW-MOTECH Releases Next Generation Motorcycle Drybags

[MotoNews]

Published in: News

Drybags have been a staple of the SW-MOTECH luggage range for years. The bags have consistently proven their value as added capacity or as a standalone solution for any motorcycle or trip. The completely waterproof bags can be attached to a passenger seat, rear rack, crash bar or other luggage. After such a long and successful run, it’s no surprise that SW-MOTECH is leveraging decades of experience with drybags to update the entire line.

Ready for the Next Adventure?

The fully waterproof PVC bags continue to be offered in the familiar six sizes, with several new features and design improvements over the previous drybag line.

Updated materials create a more supple bag, making them easier to handle, roll and unroll—whether they are empty or fully packed.

Speaking of handling, each of the full-size models now has a carry handle integrated into the side of the bag where it can be used to adjust your load. A new buckle and strap configuration makes the bags even easier to stack and connect to each other. Off the bike, the sold-separately shoulder strap adapts the drybag into a convenient travel bag for everyday use.

MOLLE panels have been added to several bags in the lineup to expand organization options by adding the ability to connect MOLLE-compatible accessory bags to the exterior.

Each of the new SW-MOTECH Drybags, with the exception of the smallest, the Drybag 80, features an exterior welded zipper pocket for smaller items.

Bold New Graphics!

With this list of new features and updates, it’s obvious this isn’t just a cosmetic design. However, there is a sleek new look for these drybags. The overall color of the bags is darker, which blends more naturally with the aesthetics of the latest SW-MOTECH designs such as the SysBag WP and the PRO line of tank and tail bags.

About SW-MOTECH

SW-MOTECH offers a wide variety of adventure, sport-touring, retro, and cruiser motorcycle accessories. Some of its most popular products include TRAX aluminum hard luggage, the patented QUICK-LOCK “tank ring” system, and premium crash bars.

The complete product line will be found under sw-motech.us where customers will be able to enter make and model information to find a tailored list of all products available for their specific motorcycles.

SW-MOTECH started in 1994 when a mechanical engineer built a tail tank for his Africa Twin for a motorcycle tour to Libya. Many motorcyclists were subsequently interested in the tank, and so a dream trip was made a reality and a business idea was born. The company was officially founded in 1999.

SW-MOTECH stood for competence in metalworking, for the first removable carrier in the world, for crash bars, for center stands. Later the company partnered with soft luggage specialist BAGS-CONNECTION, and quickly came up with the idea for the tank ring and attachment of hovering tank bags using the popular QUICK-LOCK feature.

Today more than 300 people bring their technical know-how and passion to the development, production, and distribution of premium accessories which are sold in 65 countries worldwide.
