Kriega KS-40 Expandable Motorcycle Pannier Liner & Carry-On Travel Bag
Maximize your adventure storage with the Kriega KS-40. This rugged, expandable bag fits most aluminum motorcycle panniers (30-40L) and doubles as a convenient airline carry-on, offering padded protection and smart organization for your gear.
The Kriega KS-40 Side Case Bag is an incredibly versatile and durable storage solution designed for the discerning motorcycle adventurer. Engineered to seamlessly fit inside most standard aluminum motorcycle panniers (such as those from Touratech-ZEGA, BMW, and Metal Mule), it transforms rigid luggage into a highly organized and easily portable system.
Crafted from tough 420D polyester with Hypalon™ abrasion-resistant reinforcement, the KS-40 is built to withstand the rigors of long-distance touring and adventure travel, protecting your essentials from bumps and scrapes. Its innovative design features a two-stage expansion system, allowing the capacity to grow from a compact 30 liters to a generous 35 or 40 liters via full-perimeter zippers. This adaptability ensures you have just the right amount of space, whether packing for a quick weekend getaway or an extended overland expedition.
Beyond its primary role as a pannier liner, the KS-40 excels as an off-bike travel bag. It includes a rigid carry handle and a clip-on padded shoulder strap, making it comfortable and convenient to transport your gear from your bike to your tent, hotel room, or even through airport terminals. At its 30-liter setting, the KS-40 complies with most airline carry-on size regulations, offering unparalleled convenience for multi-modal travel.
Internal organization is well thought out, with a large zipped sleeve pocket perfect for tablets, maps, or documents, and two additional zipped coated-mesh pockets for smaller items like charging cables, toiletries, or tools. Both external and internal compression straps help to stabilize contents, preventing shifting and keeping your packed items secure. Backed by Kriega's renowned 10-year guarantee, the KS-40 is a testament to quality, functionality, and enduring performance.
