Updates to Version 4.0

• CURV® composite harness
• Gnoblin compatible
• Two-directional Molle panels on beavertail & leg holsters
• Two settings for leg strap location
• Low-profile cam buckles
• Helmet Clip

The updated Reckless 80L V4.0 offers a stiffer, more durable, and lighter-weight design featuring CURV® composite harness material. The stiffness of the CURV® material significantly reduces movement of the bag, adding more stability for technical off-road riding. CURV® has a unique high-impact strength that will not fatigue or crack, even when riding on very hot days or in freezing temperatures.

Additional updates include multi-directional Molle on the beavertail and leg holsters, two settings for leg strap mounting, low-profile non-slip cam buckles, a helmet clip, and optimized integration for the optional Gnoblin rear mounting accessory. The R80 is also now built with 100% recycled 1680D Ballistic nylon with eco-friendly PVC backing and UV treatment.

With the Reckless 80L we replicated the traditional three-bag organization and packing system of a touring bike (two side panniers and a rear duffle) for bikes that don’t have pannier racks. The Reckless system saves you the added weight and expense of metal side pannier racks.

It’s 100% waterproof and easy to get into, so you don’t have to unstrap everything to get at your lunch or pull out a jacket. The side bags slide and strap into the leg holster which stays attached to the bike. All three main compartments are welded-seam roll-top drybags for total waterproofness. The center top bag is our Stinger 22L Tailbag, which has stashable backpack straps and works great as an airline carry-on or a day pack for short hikes. The side bags are interchangeable and include a clear panel on the front so you can easily find your gear.

In addition to the three main compartments, the optional 4L drybag auxiliary pocket (aka Aux Pox) are perfect for storing smaller items that you might need quick access to throughout the day. The Aux Pox holsters can be used with or without their roll-top drybags, making them a great place for extra fuel bottles, water, tool roll, or spare tubes.

The rear beavertail creates a convenient spot to tuck a motorcycle jacket or to store wet things – like a tent rainfly, towel, or campsite garbage – that you don't want inside your dry bag. The inside panels of the beavertail include a tent pole bag, a removable map pocket, and two reinforced clear pockets for small items like toothbrush/toothpaste. The entire beavertail assembly is removable, giving you the option to ditch the Stinger 22L, therby reducing weight and total capacity.

Adding additional storage is easy if you need more than 80L of space. The beavertail straps extend to accommodate a second or larger top bag. The outside of the beavertail includes a 3-column MOLLE webbing panel, and each leg includes a 2-column panel on the front, with a 3-column panel on the rear. Add Mosko MOLLE Pouches, or choose from a wide array of 3rd party MOLLE accessories.

The R80 harness is a 3-piece system, which can be disassembled for an international fly-to-ride trip. The entire system fits conveniently in a roller luggage system, like our Mule Gear Hauler.

If you have a crash on a long trip, the various components can be repaired or replaced individually, saving cost and hassle. A foam pad reduces chafe between the harness and the bike, and the harness is armored with Hypalon for abrasion resistance. All R80 drybags are made from 840D TPU (PVC free), to stand up to UV and cold weather.

• Exhaust heat damage is not covered under warranty. Please use the included heat shield, and follow the installation instructions carefully.
• KTM 690, Husqvarna 701, and GasGas 700 customers: The stock exhaust on these bikes runs VERY hot. Even with careful heat shield use, melting of the bike's plastics and the luggage can occur on these bikes specifically. Consider the Arrow brand aftermarket exhausts, available from Rottweiler Performance.
• Africa Twin customers, please note that the passenger grab handles found on the 2016-19 Africa Twin models may inhibit the fit of the Reckless 80L on the tail of the bike.
• On dual-exhaust bikes or bikes with especially high/exposed pipes, you will need a second heat shield, available for purchase in our website's Hardware & Parts section.
• Contact between soft luggage (no matter how soft) and your bike's plastics or painted surfaces will cause cosmetic wear to the bike over time because accumulated dirt is abrasive. If that is important, try applying a clear protective film (like Allstar Performance Tape or 3M Polymask Protective Tape) to your bike.
• Different bikes and installation approaches present different wear points to the Reckless 80 harness. After installation, go for a short test ride, then check for wear points. Adjust the harness position, file down sharp rack edges, or apply a sacrificial wear patch as needed. Continue to check for high-wear points over time, but remember that the harness is made to take a lot of abuse. Some visible wear is normal, and in no way does it affect the strength or waterproofness of the luggage.

The Reckless 80L is designed to fit a wide variety of motorcycles – from small enduro-style bikes up to larger adventure bikes.
