The brand new Touratech ‘Sport’ tail rack bag from the EXTREME Edition series is the perfect piece of luggage for this. Developed in response to many customer requests, this new rear bag is a highly functional addition to this successful soft luggage range.
    

   Ultra-rugged three-layer laminate
   The ‘Sport’ tail rack bag is made from an advanced three-layer laminate that combines waterproofness with abrasion and tear resistance. In combination with the sturdy base plate the robust material also gives the bag the necessary rigidity. The textile material is fully welded, making the bag completely dust and waterproof. As with all EXTREME Edition by Touratech Waterproof bags, the interior is bright yellow, making it easy to find even smaller items thanks to the bright contrasting colour. The technical surface of the robust material has an exceptional haptic that emphasises the high quality standards. The Sport rear bag is closed with an extra-robust waterproof zip.

   Practice-orientated features
   Based on the robust concept of the EXTREME Edition, the ‘Sport’ tail rack bag offers numerous practical features. It starts with the universal fit. The rear bag has been specially developed for small luggage racks and fits the large majority of motorcycles thanks to the clever strap fastening. 
   The volume of approximately five litres is sufficient for short trips or offers a welcome addition to the luggage system on longer adventures. The interior stores everything from essential items to a small set of tools that need to be within easy reach. There is a mesh pocket with Velcro fasteners on the inside of the lid to ensure that fragile or small items stay exactly in place. There is also a practical pen holder. Other items of equipment that are not sensitive to moisture can be securely fastened to the outside of the lid with an adjustable, elastic cord system.
    

   Distinctive look for the adventure lifestyle
   The unique robustness and functionality of the EXTREME Edition by Touratech Waterproof series is also reflected in its attractive rugged look. These products, imbued with the spirit of great adventure, not only do a great job in challenging off-road activities, they also set a clear lifestyle statement in everyday use.

2. Touratech Endurance side bag now also available in blue and red

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 9th Oct 2024

   The Endurance side bag is the casual companion for everyday life and travelling. The tried-and-tested soft bag is now a real eye-catcher: it is optionally available in sporty red and fresh blue.

   Simply click on the bike and ride off. Or the other way round: detach it with a flick of the wrist, hang it over your shoulder and off you go to the hotel or office. The Touratech Endurance side bag is the casual alternative to the rigid pannier system. But for all its coolness, the soft bag also impresses with plenty of hard facts.

   For adventure and city: the Endurance side bag
   Welded from ultra-rugged 660 g/m2 laminated fabric, the Endurance combines enormous durability with soft handling. Internal reinforcements keep the bag in perfect shape even when only partially filled. The roll-top fastener, with which the volume can be varied continuously, does the rest. As a member of the Waterproof by Touratech product family, it goes without saying that the Endurance is waterproof. The Endurance side bag is manufactured in Germany in collaboration with textile specialist Vaude using non-toxic materials, most of which are made from sustainably sourced raw materials.

   Easy handling thanks to quick-release fastener
   The Endurance has Touratech's tried-and-tested docking panel for attachment. The quick-release fastener snaps into place when the bag is attached and can be unlocked again with a flick of the wrist. The ingenious mechanism fixes the side bag to the carrier without play and is bombproof. The optionally available locks supplement the range of functions and enable identical locking with other lockable Touratech products.
   With a sensationally low weight of just 2.16 kilograms, the Endurance offers an impressive volume of 30 litres. Suitable for Touratech pannier racks and stainless steel racks from the original BMW Motorrad accessories programme.

   Stylish appearance in casual colours
   The Endurance side bag is now available in two new strong colours. In Pacific Blue or Lava Red, the cool soft bag is a real eye-catcher. And by the way, the classic motorsport colours perfectly match the design of numerous current adventure bikes.

4. Touratech crash bars for the BMW R 1300 GS

   Posted on 9:00am Thursday 26th Sep 2024

   Touratech has developed a comprehensive range of crash bars to protect the BMW R 1300 GS from damages. The stainless steel constructions blend harmoniously into the appearance of the machine and are designed to withstand even the toughest conditions.

   Engine crash bar Street with slider

   Touratech has taken a completely new approach in the design of the Sport engine crash bar developed especially for the R 1300 GS. The core of the robust protector is the integrated slider. The contour of this is 100% customised to the valve cover of the 1300 Boxer and positioned in exactly the right position. In the event of an impact, the bar absorbs the resulting forces and distributes them effectively. In an accident, the slider can be supported flat against the valve cover. The bar is positioned close to the engine to maintain full ground clearance.

   Engine crash bar Stainless
   The classic design of the crash bar made of 25 x 2 millimetre stainless steel tubes encloses the cylinders of the BMW R 1300 GS like a cage. Reinforcements made from 3D-formed elements provide additional strength. Numerous mounting points and plastic buffer elements relieve the frame. Mounted close to the vehicle, the crash bar has virtually no influence on the lean angle or ground clearance.

   Fairing crash bar for Touratech engine crash bar
   The fairing crash bar protects the sensitive radiator, the fairing and even the tank of the R 1300 GS. The electropolished stainless steel is not only functional, but also a real eye-catcher. For combination with the Touratech engine crash bar (item no. 035-5160). 

   Fairing crash bar for original BMW engine crash bar
   For mounting together with the engine guard from the BMW accessories programme, Touratech offers a variant of the fairing crash bar that offers the same high level of protection as its counterpart for combination with the in-house engine guard.

   Reinforcing strut for original BMW engine crash bar
   With the additional fourth support point, the Touratech reinforcement strut greatly enhances the functionality of the engine guard from the BMW accessories programme. Plastic buffer elements provide additional protection. Thanks to perfect adaptation to the OEM protection bar, the product made of 25 millimetre thick stainless steel tubing is easy to fit.

5. World premiere: The all-new Touratech Compañero Rambler PRO

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 13th Sep 2024

   With the Compañero Rambler PRO, Touratech presents a revolutionary all-season suit made of three-layer laminate with the currently highest safety standard AAA. High-quality materials and a functional concept make the Rambler PRO the first choice for comfort-orientated touring riders as well as demanding adventure riders.

   Outstanding safety, weather protection and first-class comfort - the new Compañero Rambler PRO combines the expertise Touratech has acquired over one and a half decades in the field of high-end textile suits, the competence of its development partner REV'IT! and the extensive feedback from customers around the globe.

   Wind and waterproof thanks to Gore-Tex PRO three-layer laminate
   The Touratech Compañero Rambler PRO is made from Gore-Tex PRO three-layer laminate. With a water column of 28,000 millimetres, this high-tech material is completely wind and waterproof and is also characterised by excellent breathability. The membrane is laminated between the sturdy outer layer and a robust inner material, guaranteeing a long product life.

   Patented ventilation system
   Thanks to a variable air intake, the patented VCS AQUADEFENSE ventilation system from REV'IT! ensures an optimum climate even under heavy physical exertion. If necessary, the flap openings on the chest and thighs allow air to flow in through the three-dimensional BALLISTIC MESH fabric. Thanks to the FIDLOCK magnetic fastener, the flaps remain reliably open even at high speeds.
   On the jacket, the VCS front ventilation opens up a three-centimetre-wide BALLISTIC MESH vent and allows air to flow in over the entire upper body. The mesh panel can be closed with a double zip to make it waterproof when it gets cold or rainy.
   
   Additional closable vents on the upper and lower arms, on the back and on the front and back of the legs maximise the air flow in high temperatures

   Removable mid layer
   To adapt to cooler temperatures, the Compañero Rambler PRO comes with a removable mid layer for the jacket and trousers. The inner jacket can also be used separately as a leisure jacket.
   Leisure fit for a comfortable feel
   The casual cut of the Compañero Rambler PRO is designed for comfortable touring even on the longest routes. In conjunction with generously dimensioned stretch zones at the knees, waist and seat, flutter-free comfort is guaranteed even at high speeds.
   Straps for width adjustment also allow individual customisation. Sophisticated details such as the zips on the jacket sleeves make it easier to put on and take off the jacket, while zips on the side jacket hem allow maximum freedom of movement when seated. 
   The equipment also includes a detachable kidney belt; a zip allows the jacket and trousers to be combined.

   AAA certification for maximum safety
   The Touratech Compañero Rambler PRO is one of the very few textile suits in the world to have the highest possible AAA certification for motorcycle clothing. Several advanced technologies are used to fulfil the requirements for this strict standard. Behind the name PWR Shield is a new type of knitting technology that dramatically improves the abrasion and tear resistance of the outer material. The extra-strong seams also play an important role. Areas that are particularly exposed in the event of a fall are also reinforced with ARMACOR, a highly abrasion-resistant textile material based on KEVLAR.
   The Compañero Rambler PRO's extensive range of protectors is one of the key contributors to its outstanding protective effect. The back, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees are fitted with level 2 and level 1 protectors respectively, while large areas of highly reflective 3M SCOTCHLITE ensure passive safety.

   The new Compañero Rambler PRO is available in seven sizes for women from XS to 3XL and in seven sizes for men from S to 4XL. The men's suit is available immediately, the women's version from January. The price for the jacket is 1,399 euros, the trousers cost 899 euros.
