When it comes to choosing between hard and soft panniers there are many factors to consider; advocates of hard panniers will cite extra protection for items stored within the panniers, durability and in most cases a superior level of protection from the elements, however in the event of a fall there is an elevated chance of injury to your legs and damage to your bike.

Soft motorcycle panniers, present greater flexibility when packing and with compression straps can hold everything securely in place even if your panniers are not full, and because of their flexibility rarely have any significant negative impact in the case of a fall, making them the stand out option for off road bikers. Furthermore, soft panniers are generally more affordable than hard panniers and at the Adventure Bike Shop, we have a selection of soft panniers to suit every need and budget.

At the lowest price point we have Nelson Rigg Saddle Bags in a choice of black or yellow that represent exceptional value for money, whilst at the other end of the scale the Bumot Xtremada Saddle Bags complete with rack, offer exceptional quality at what is still a very affordable price.

Whether you are looking for individual soft panniers, or pairs of panniers that can be attached without racks – or even soft panniers that can be attached to BMW OEM pannier racks we have got exactly what you need. For all of you soft motorcycle panniers and accessories turn to the Adventure Bike Shop.
