I'm absolutely stoked with my Reckless 40L-V 4.0.
Installed the Gnoblin, "a must", and the whole system become rock sollid one with the motorcycle.
You see the passion to deliver in such a good well over engineerd product. Keep it up Mosko Moto, don't out grow your shoes to fast.

Reckless 40L

I’ve been very happy with the Reckless 40L luggage. I hate carrying more items than I really need on my adventure rides and have found that the R40 is the perfect size for that long weekend camping trip! It fits my 890 very well and doesn’t flop around when I loft/jump the bike. It’s easy to take on and off the bike. My favorite feature is the beaver tail! I always find I have that one extra item I’ve accumulated on the road (extra food, water, etc.) and the beaver tail is perfect for that last minute storage solution!

Reckless 40 V4.0

I've only used it for a few short trips but looks to be incredibly well put together and well thought out. I wish they would include the gnoblin in the kit with the rig as it makes a premium product appear even better.

good but to many buckles and straps

Hello Mosko,

I just complerted a 900 mile off road ride in Northern Baja. I chose the Mosko Reckles thinking it would be a sturdy simple and well thought out equioment for the rough conditions of riding in Baja.

I thimk your products have a lot of thinking into them but my experience is they have too many bells and whistles that eventually fail. I have a beaver tail snap fail and had to replace it with a never failing cam strap that made packing and un packing a hard job at the endo of the day.
My fingers hurt after each time I finished securing everything on my bike after having to close more that ten snaps.

I found the new additional side pockets on the R 40 are too wide and loose all the streamlining of the initial idea of the R40.

On a posistive note, I founf them really sturdy and strong, but just felt you a re using too much material en maybe “overthinking” a bit.

In my avdenture moto experience, simple is better and less prone to fail after long days with dust, vibration and packing and unpacking over and over again.

I have been a Mosko costumer for years now, I really enjoy some of your gear. I own riding pants, tank bags and have very good opinion of most everything except for this last experience with the R40

Reckless 40L (V4.0)

Color
Black
High Desert
Woodland
AUX POX (AUXILIARY POCKETS)

The Reckless 40L is a rackless luggage system that easily mounts on almost any motorcycle. We designed this bag for long day trips, motel-hopping, and minimalist camping off your bike. The Reckless 40L is 100% waterproof, with five separate removable welded-seam drybags that slide/strap into a protective outer harness.

The R40 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 on the bike, adding more stability for technical offroad 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.

Other updates include multi-directional Molle on the beavertail and leg holsters, low-profile no-slip cam buckles on the leg straps, two settings for leg strap locations, and secure integration for the optional Stinger 22 bigger tail bag. In line with other products this season, we upgraded the 1680D Ballistic nylon fabric to be 100% recycled with eco-friendly PVC backing and UV treatment.

The updated luggage system is now optimized for the optional Gnoblin r
ear mounting accessory, and provides the ability to add two 4L Aux Pox external pockets for extra storage, Fuel Bottles, Water Storage, or Mosko First Aid Kit

MORE DESIGN DETAILS

The Reckless 40 includes five waterproof roll-top drybags, that can be easily accessed throughout the day. You don't have to mess with the holster attachment straps to get to food, clothes, or tools. The side drybags have clear panels on the front, so you can tell which bag has what you need, and they have stiffeners in the back to reduce movement while riding and make it easier to slide into the holster. They also have webbing handles at the bottom, so they can be pulled into the holster from the bottom.

On smaller enduros, the R40 is an awesome way to pack light and turn your motorcycle into a mini adventure bike to ride more technical terrain and access hard-to-reach backcountry spots. For Baja motel-hoppers, you can easily fit a change of clothes, shoes, tools, tubes, a warm jacket, and your dopp kit. The R40 also works as an excellent day ride bag that can live on your bike full time.

The width of the harness is adjustable, with one setting for enduro / trail bikes, and a second setting for wider dualsport and adventure bikes. The beavertail on the center harness is removable, plus we added an expansion panel on the beavertail to accommodate a larger tail bag like the Stinger 22L Tailbag.  Also, the three-piece design makes the harness much easier to repair, plus you can replace components individually. We also changed the design of the mounting straps and most major buckles, to make them easier to replace/repair in the field.

The default center tailbag on the Reckless 40 is our Stinger 8L Tailbag. It turns into a backpack with mesh straps that unfold from inside the bag, in case you want to go for a day hike or run into town for errands. The Stinger 8 also has 4 sewn-on connection straps with matching ladder locks, so it can be rigged as a standalone fender bag, tail bag, or pannier topper. To expand the capacity of your Reckless 40, you can replace the Stinger 8L Tailbag with a Stinger 22L Tailbag

The R40’s removable beavertail is a great spot to tuck a motorcycle jacket when it’s not in use, or to store wet or dirty things - like a tent fly, towel, or campsite garbage. The beavertail is removable, so you can take it off when you don’t need it, and it can be rotated to run either parallel or perpendicular to the bike. On the top of the beavertail and front of the leg holsters, there are MOLLE panels so you can customize the harness with various MOLLE accessories.

The Reckless 40 includes one Cleat Kit, which can be bolted to the rear fender of the bike, providing a convenient lash point for the rear connection straps, or consider adding the optional Gnoblin rear mounting accessory for rock-solid attachment and easy on-and-off functionality.


IMPORTANT NOTES

Every Reckless 40 comes with an included heat shield.  Please use the heat shield! Exhaust and exhaust heat burns are not covered by your warranty. Before you leave for your trip, we recommend checking and double-checking that no part of the bag or your bike's plastics are contacting the exhaust. On dual-exhaust bikes or bikes with especially high/exposed pipes, you will need a second heat shield, which is available for purchase in the 'Hardware & Parts" section of our website. When installing the Reckless system on your bike, please make sure the exhaust is not blowing directly on the bag. In general, make sure the bag is not touching or close to extreme heat; go physically around the bag daily, cinch it tight, and make any necessary adjustments.

The Reckless 40 was designed for rugged riding. It features durable Hypalon and ballistic nylon backing that can rub against the plastic parts of the bike, resulting in minor abrasion. Please take precautions if you do not want your bike parts marred by placing a clear adhesive sheet where abrasion may occur on your motorcycle. We suggest taking a short test ride with protection applied and with a loaded Reckless installed on the bike to ensure satisfactory results. Some examples of protective products are listed below:

There are many wear points on the Reckless system that are different on every bike. These could be on the bottom of the bag - where the harness touches the bike or luggage rack - or on the drybags themselves, where they contact the harness, tent poles, or other items. After your first day or two of riding, please inspect the bags carefully, identify high-friction wear points, and either remedy the friction or apply a sacrificial 'patch' that can be periodically replaced before the bag itself is damaged. In particular, it is normal for the fabric on the bottom of the harness to show wear, and this does not affect the structural integrity of the bag nor its waterproofing.

  • If friction causes the fabric on the bottom of your bag to wear through, this is not a big deal. There is a hard plastic plate inside the Reckless harness that will prevent friction from reaching your drybags and thereby affecting the functionality of the system. Fabric, vibrating under pressure between the hard plastic inside the harness and a hard metal bike part, will eventually wear out. To prevent this, apply a sacrificial patch to the wear point, or apply some padding on the bike.
  • If your connection straps are wrapping around a sharp metal edge, for example on a bag mounting cleat, foot peg, or luggage rack, and the straps begin to show signs of wear, it is critical to address the wear before the strap is too far worn to use. Either file/grind the sharp edge, or apply (and maintain) a sacrificial 'sleeve' for the webbing made from fabric, additional webbing, or duct tape. A sharp metal edge vibrating under pressure will eventually wear through webbing, sometimes quickly. If this occurs, take some extra webbing to a local sewing shop and they should be able to easily repair the damage.
