Kriega OS-Base Universal Fit | Rackless Adventure Motorcycle Luggage System
Transform your ride with the Kriega OS-Base Universal Fit. This innovative, lightweight, and durable over-the-seat harness allows you to securely mount Kriega OS-Adventure Packs without traditional pannier frames. Perfect for trail, enduro, and dual-sport bikes.
The Kriega Overlander-S OS-Base Universal Fit is a revolutionary "over the seat harness" designed to provide a super-tough, lightweight, and easy-to-fit luggage solution for virtually any trail, enduro, or dual-sport motorcycle. Unlike traditional pannier systems, the OS-Base eliminates the need for heavy and cumbersome metal pannier frames, offering unparalleled versatility and freedom for off-road and adventure riding.
Constructed from heavy-duty Hypalon™ with a semi-rigid polypropylene core, the OS-Base boasts exceptional durability and stability, even in the most demanding environments. Its flexible, modular design allows riders to customize their luggage setup to suit any trip, from a short day on single track to extended multi-day adventures.
The OS-Base serves as the foundation for Kriega's OS-Adventure Pack range (OS-6, OS-12, OS-18), allowing them to be mounted securely as panniers. Furthermore, its intelligent design enables the attachment of additional OS-Adventure Packs or US-Drypacks as a center top bag, expanding the carrying capacity up to a potential 54 liters (with 2 x OS-18 on sides + 1 x OS-18 on top). Integrated 'Loop Mounts' also provide convenient attachment points for tents, sleeping mats, or other gear using Kriega OS-Cam Straps.
Once the initial setup is complete, which involves securing two OS-RACK LOOPS to the rear fender (requiring two 6mm holes drilled), the entire system is remarkably quick and easy to put on and take off. The robust aircraft-grade alloy hooks and non-slip cam buckles ensure your luggage remains firmly in place, even over rough terrain. Kriega's commitment to quality is further reinforced by a 10-year guarantee on materials and manufacturing.
