A light, streamlined, expandable rackless bag providing additional gear storage for trail riders looking for a minimalist luggage setup.
A light, low-profile, and expandable rackless bag. Constructed from DWR-treated 420D nylon ripstop and designed for universal bike fitment, the Trail 16L is purpose-built for singletrack missions, providing extra space for layers, first aid kit, food, and fuel.
We recommend adding the optional Gnoblin rear mounting accessory for riders wanting the ability to quickly mount and dismount their rackless bags. The Gnoblin provides simple, rock-solid attachment, and easy on-off functionality.
The Trail 16L features two five liter side bags, expandable to eight liter, made from DWR-coated 420D nylon 66 ripstop fabric mounted to a custom CURV® composite harness.
With the capacity to fit two 1L MSR fuel bottles in each five liter bag in the standard low-profile configuration, the bags quickly expand by an additional three liters via a DWR-coated YKK zipper expander panel with glove-friendly zipper pulls to accommodate additional items like a tow strap, hand saw, jacket, and tubes.
At just three inches high in standard configuration and five inches high when expanded, the low-profile construction of the Trail 16 keeps the bags hugged close-in to the bike and allows riders to slide over the bag for pivot turns when terrain gets techy.
This bag can handle some light rain showers and splashes from stream crossings but is not waterproof. The DWR-coated coil zippers are covered by storm flaps, and the DWR-coated nylon ripstop fabric sheds droplets, though this bag is not seam-sealed. If you're planning on riding in the rain and need to keep items totally dry, we suggest putting them in a small dry bag inside the Trail 16L bag or checking out our 100% waterproof Reckless 10 system.
The CURV® composite harness material provides a rigid, rackless, universal mounting system that attaches to the bike with four cam straps, allowing the Trail 16L to easily transfer between different bikes. The rear of the harness has multiple mounting options: choose from the included webbing cam straps that wrap around the fender or tail rack, or use the included aluminum Cleat Kit tie-downs to attach webbing straps to rear fender top. The harness also comes Gnoblin-ready for those choosing to upgrade from the standard rear webbing straps to our stainless steel quick-mount system.
The Trail 16L has two width settings, narrow and wide, providing fit options for small enduros up to larger ADV bikes. The center of the harness comes with pre-cut slots for Voile straps, providing the option to stash a jacket, small dry bag, or additional fuel bottles.
The two-piece harness is backed with removable closed-cell EVA foam, which provides a replaceable wear layer to help protect the bike and harness.
If you have a bike whose tail pipe gets super hot, we've included a laser-cut anodized aluminum exhaust Heat Shield with band clamp attachment to protect the bag and exhaust.
Weighing in at just over 3 lbs, Mosko's lightest luggage system is a streamlined trail bag designed for all-day singletrack rides that require additional gear-carrying capacity.

Trail 16L is designed to fit a wide variety of motorcycles – from small enduro-style bikes up to larger adventure bikes.



Constructed from lightweight ripstop nylon and CURV® composite, the Trail 16 has a low profile fit on dirtbike and ADV rear fenders.

Zippered expansion panel adds 3L of volume on each leg bag, allowing riders to expand or compress the bag as needed, based on gear loadout. When expanded, total capacity increases from 10L to 16L.

The Trail 16 mounts without any racks, providing simple mounting/dismounting, and the ability to easily switch between different bikes. Two CURV® harness settings – narrow and wide – provide fit options for small enduro bikes up to larger ADV bikes. The included cam straps allow mounting to rear fender with or without the included cleats.

CURV® composite harness comes with pre-cut slots for Voile / Moto Straps straps (sold separately), allowing additional storage for a jacket, small dry bag, or fuel bottles.

Add the optional Gnoblin upgrade to replace the rear cam straps for fast and simple on/off mounting. The button easily mounts to tail rack platforms or straight through your rear fender plastic.

Fit the bill perfectly. I mounted on my Honda CRF450RL. Perfect size for that class of bike, love the expansion capacity. The build is high quality. I'm only in my first month using them but so far, they're everything that I could ask for in this size. A+
I’ll admit that I’m a Mosko Fanboy with a collection that includes Reckless 40L V3, Gnoblin mount, multiple Molle pouches, Stinger 22L tailbag and Alpine 30L duffle. When compared with my other Mosko gear, the Trail 16L seems like it is not Mosko’s best effort. My disappointment is with the bags themselves for several reasons. The material is the same as the Alpine duffel and it feels a bit delicate for use as a saddle bag. The bags have zero internal features for organizing the contents and there are no external features for attaching Molle accessories to the bags. The bag material is waterproof but the zippers are not. The zipper cover flaps are fiddly and I suspect the velcro closure won’t last long. My bags are new so I can’t comment on actual durability.
The Trail 16 a good size for day trips, the mounting system is Mosko robust and the Gnoblin mount allows instant off/on from the bike. In fact, I bought the Trail 16 over cheaper alternatives because of the Gnoblin mount.
For reference, I’m using the gear on a BMW F900GS with Perunmoto rack. The Trail 16 and Reckless bags needed different Gnoblin stud locations on the Perunmoto rack for optimum placement.
Best bags Ive ever seen. Quality material, cool style and fit my bike perfectly. These bags are unreal!!!
I swap my mosko bags a lot between bikes. KTM 350, 690, 1190, Tenere 700, KLR 650, GS1250, RnineT…
It seems they all fit somewhat easy (except the KLR with its big booty 🙄)
i have a Reckless 70, 40, amd now the 16 which is my favorite. I use the 49 mostly on the ranch for maintenance amd water projects and It lets me carry a folded AR Pistol as a scabbard., works great. I recently used the 16 on the 690 amd i was surprised by the extension zipper (as we all know men can’t read instruction manuals, its a genetic disorder🙄).
Super happy with all your stuff, highest quality possible i would say. I also birned a strap the other day but wa sable to melt the pieces together with a heat gun, works great
JK
PS. Just had the idea to use the 40 behind my my saddle on horseback 🤨… have you tried?
