Kriega OS-Base for KTM 790 & 890 Adventure/R (2019+) | Rackless Luggage System
Unleash your KTM 790 or 890 Adventure's full potential with the Kriega OS-Base. This tough, lightweight, and frame-free harness allows quick mounting of OS-6, OS-12, or OS-18 Adventure Packs for ultimate adventure versatility.
The Kriega OS-Base for the 2019 onwards KTM 790 and 890 Adventure and Adventure R models is a highly specialized and robust "over the seat harness" engineered to provide a superior soft luggage solution without the bulk and weight of traditional metal pannier frames. This system is meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with the KTM Adventure platform, offering a secure and stable foundation for Kriega's renowned OS-6, OS-12, or OS-18 Adventure Packs.
Constructed from military-grade Hypalon™, a material celebrated for its extreme durability, abrasion resistance, and weatherproof properties, the OS-Base is built to endure the most demanding off-road conditions and varied climates. It features reinforced stitching at all critical stress points, aircraft-grade alloy hooks, and non-slip cam buckles, ensuring your luggage remains firmly in place, no matter how rough the terrain.
One of the standout features is its modular design, which allows riders to completely customize their carrying capacity from a compact 12-liter setup for day rides (using two OS-6 packs) to an expansive 54-liter configuration for extended moto-camping expeditions (using two OS-18 packs and a center-mounted OS-pack). The system includes specific KTM Rack Loops and 790/890 Strap Mounts that attach to the bike's existing baggage carrier/rear rack and replace the rear footpeg brackets, providing multiple secure hook-on points. These, along with the integrated loops on the OS-Base, facilitate various mounting options, including a 2-bag or 3-bag arrangement, or even allowing an OS-Pack to be mounted as a standalone tail pack without the full OS-Base harness.
Installation is remarkably quick and straightforward, typically taking less than a minute to mount the entire system to the bike after the initial setup of the hardware. Removal is even faster, often taking just seconds. The OS-Base is specifically shaped to provide a tight, secure fit with ample clearance from the exhaust system, minimizing the risk of heat damage to your luggage. While the majority of the OS-Base sits on the seat, it's recommended to apply clear adhesive protective film to the bike's side plastics where minor abrasion might occur due to dirt and dust buildup during aggressive riding.
The Kriega OS-Base is an indispensable accessory for any KTM 790 or 890 Adventure owner who demands a high-performance, durable, and exceptionally versatile luggage system for their adventures, be they epic cross-country journeys or challenging off-road escapades.
