The Euromount frame option replaces our standard frame and wedge mounting system with a laser-cut stainless steel frame that mounts directly to BMW OEM rack frame ramps. Once mounted, the Euromount latches and locks into place using a glass-reinforced nylon cam lever equipped with a keyed lock for added security. 

BACKCOUNTRY PANNIER (V2.5) UPDATES

  • 5L Aux Pox attach to 35L
  • 4L Aux Pox attach to 25L

We created the Backcountry Pannier because we were tired of over-the-seat soft panniers that flop around in rough terrain, have no external pockets or stash spots, disintegrate after a couple of crashes, and are a total pain in the ass to get on and off the bike. We wanted something like a backpacking frame pack that mounts on your bike, stays connected to the bike, and stays waterproof no matter how many times you lay the bike down.

The Backcountry's are super easy to click on and off the bike, and because the waterproofing is accomplished inside the bag (thanks to the two-bag system), minor external crashes and scuffs won’t faze your panniers at all. Thanks to the thick, welded seam internal liner, you’re also protected from internal abrasion: for example, tools, a camp stove, or some other hard piece of gear vibrating and rubbing against the inner surface over a long period of time.

The Backcountry is heavier than a traditional over-the-seat saddlebag. What you get for that weight is bomb-proof construction and materials, a completely stable mounting system (no flopping), and lots of stash spots. Lighter is not always better if it comes at the price of functionality or durability. If you’re really serious about weight, we recommend our lighter, minimalist Alpine Pannier Kit; or, take off your racks (shaving 8-10 pounds off the bike) and get a Reckless 80L or Reckless 40L.
