Oxford ATLAS - 'strength and five-star honour'
British motorcycle paper MCN (Motorcycle News) has recognized Oxford Product's robust, modular ATLAS soft luggage system after a year (9,500 miles/15,000 km) for its city commute and touring versatility.
Teamed up with a pair of advanced ATLAS T-10 Tour Packs, the durable B-30 backpack was used as the core of a touring setup on several models, ranging from a tiny Honda ST125 Dax to Yamaha Yamaha TRX850 and Harley's 1,250 cc CVO Pan America ADV model.
The main construction is 420D ripstop and 1000D PU-backed polyester, which feels tough and flexible without being heavy. Waterproofing is with an internal roll top dry sack, held in place with Velcro type strips that are arranged in such a way that multiple inner bags can be used together.
The B-30 can also be used as a base pack which attaches to the subframe or luggage rack with four tensionable tethers. It also comes with a wide strap that goes around the seat for security.
With the central pack mounted, additional bags can be secured to build-out a modular, secure, bespoke luggage solution. The two Tour Packs provide a total capacity of 50 litres. Every bag comes with an identical set of straps so they can be easily hooked together, then tightened down for a compressed and stable load.
So simple it makes you wonder what all luggage hasn't always been made this way. MCN awarded the ATLAS range a coveted Five Star rating.
