Kriega OS-Base for Yamaha Tenere 700 2021

Kriega OS-Base for Yamaha Tenere 700 (2021) | Rackless Luggage System

Maximize your Yamaha Tenere 700's adventure capacity with the Kriega OS-Base. This tough, lightweight, and drill-free harness allows quick mounting of OS-6, OS-12, or OS-18 Adventure Packs for versatile soft luggage solutions

The Kriega OS-Base for the Yamaha Tenere 700 (2021 model year) is an innovative and highly functional "over the seat harness" designed specifically for adventure riders seeking a robust and lightweight soft luggage solution without the need for traditional, heavy metal pannier frames. Engineered with precision for the Tenere 700, this system provides a secure and stable platform for Kriega's renowned OS-6, OS-12, or OS-18 Adventure Packs, transforming your bike into a capable long-distance touring machine or a nimble off-road explorer.

Constructed from heavy-duty Hypalon™, a highly durable and abrasion-resistant material, the OS-Base is built to withstand the rigors of off-road riding and diverse weather conditions. It features reinforced stitching at all stress points, aircraft-grade alloy hooks, and non-slip cam buckles, ensuring a firm and reliable fit.

The modular design is a key advantage, allowing riders to customize their luggage setup from a minimal day-trip configuration to a full moto-camping arrangement with up to 54 liters of carrying capacity (when paired with OS-18 packs). The system includes specific Tenere 700 bolt-on loops that attach discreetly to the subframe under the seat, providing four additional hook-on points. These, in conjunction with the loops on the OS-Base itself, offer multiple mounting options for a 2-bag or 3-bag setup, or even for using an OS-Pack as a standalone tail pack without the base.

Installation is incredibly quick and straightforward, taking less than a minute to mount the entire system to the bike after initial setup, and just seconds to remove it. The purpose-designed main body shape ensures a tight, secure fit with ample clearance from the exhaust, preventing potential heat damage to your luggage. While the majority of the OS-Base sits on the seat, it's recommended to apply a clear adhesive protective sheet to the bike's side plastics where minor abrasion might occur due to dirt and dust buildup during heavy off-road use.

The Kriega OS-Base is an essential upgrade for any Tenere 700 owner looking for a high-performance, durable, and adaptable luggage system for their adventures.
