SHAD gear for the BMW R 1300 GS
Barcelona based luggage brand SHAD (NAD, SL) has a "complete range" of luggage solutions for the Bavarian brand's Berlin made 'MaxiTrail' - with the emphasis on durability, versatility and capacity.
Options include top cases, side cases and tank bags, all adaptable to the needs of each particular user.
The SHAD Expandable luggage family is "focused on a demanding type of customer who travels by bike and seeks the extra capacity and convenience that expandability provides. It permits maximum versatility, thanks to three possible volumes in the top case and two in each of the side cases."
The expandable SH59X and SH58X cases offer a capacity for up to two helmets, while the innovative SH38X expandable side case (recently recognised for design excellence with a Red Dot award) "stands out for being the most compact side case on the market with a capacity for a modular helmet".
There are several variants for R 1300 GS use in SHAD's Click System tank bag range, but its primary recommendation is the 09CM, featuring an exclusive double security system, which keeps the tank bag secure while still providing access to the inside. "We chose this model for use with the R 1300 GS because of how it maintains the aesthetic appearance of the bike and its large 8-litre capacity".
The SHAD TERRA family is designed for travellers and adventurers, and the bags are primarily focused on off-road use.
For the top case, SHAD recommends its two largest capacity models: the aluminium TR55 (also available with a black finish) and the TR50 soft side bag. Both have a two-helmet capacity and are designed for long trips, off-road routes and adverse weather conditions.
As far as side cases go, SHAD offers the TR36 and TR47, the latter with a one-helmet capacity and an aluminium and black finish. As a heavy-duty soft side option, SHAD recommends the TR40, which is both lighter and more versatile. These models are designed to combine perfectly with the TERRA top cases that are available for the R 1300 GS.
"As an adventure tank bag that maintains the benefits of our Click System, the 13-litre capacity TR15 would be our choice. It is equipped with outside pockets for greater capacity and an expandable pocket to better adapt to the shape of the bike’s tank".
