Tank Bags – smart storage, quick access and stable mounting for all motorcycles
Tank bags are one of the most practical accessories you can have on a motorcycle. They give quick access to your phone, wallet, camera, keys and small essentials you want within reach – without getting off the bike or digging through side bags. For commuting, day rides and long trips, a good tank bag is often the difference between a smooth ride and a ride where you constantly miss what you need. This category includes all types of tank bags: magnetic, strap‑mounted, quick‑lock, waterproof models, GPS pockets and larger touring bags.
Tank bags are especially appreciated by riders who spend time in city traffic or on winding roads where quick access to navigation or payment is important. They are also ideal for riders who use GPS, as many models feature clear top windows or dedicated GPS pockets. For touring and adventure, larger tank bags offer multiple compartments, organised storage and weather‑resistant materials that handle rain, wind and long days in the saddle.
What makes tank bags unique is their mounting position. Unlike side bags or top cases, a tank bag sits in a place that doesn’t negatively affect the motorcycle’s balance. It stays close to the centre of gravity and doesn’t move side to side. When mounted correctly, a tank bag is completely stable even at high speeds. This makes it one of the most versatile luggage options for any motorcycle.
There are three main mounting types: magnetic, straps and quick‑lock. Magnetic bags are simple and fast but require a steel tank. Strap‑mounted bags work on all motorcycles and provide stable mounting even on uneven surfaces. Quick‑lock is the most modern solution, offering a scratch‑free, secure and extremely stable connection that clicks on and off in seconds. For modern bikes with plastic tanks or complex tank shapes, quick‑lock is often the best choice.
Tank bags come in many sizes. Smaller 3–5 litre bags are perfect for commuting and short rides. Medium 5–10 litre bags suit most riders and offer a good balance between volume and convenience. Larger 10–20 litre bags are popular for touring and adventure, giving space for cameras, chargers, snacks, maps, documents and extra gear.
All tank bags in this category are selected to work in real‑world conditions: rain, wind, vibration, temperature changes and daily use. We know how important it is that the bag sits securely, doesn’t scratch the tank and is easy to operate with gloves. That’s why we offer models tested by riders in both Sweden and Norway.
