Tankbags are some of the most useful pieces of kit you can add to a motorcycle, offering streamlined cargo capacity that’s quickly accessible. The trouble is, many of them use magnets or other attachment options that just don’t work for aggressive dual sport riding. Speaking from personal experience, both my Yamaha WR250R and Suzuki DR650SE have plastic high-capacity fuel tanks, and my streetbike tank bags won’t stay in place. Most tankbags won’t physically fit these bikes, either, as they have sloping fuel tanks that differ greatly from street bike designs.

There are a few companies that offer solutions for dual sport riders, though, including well-known names like Kriega and Wolfman, both of which I’ve tested in the past. Over the past year, I’ve run two Giant Loop tankbags. Before I left for拉布拉多犬last year, Giant Loop sent me a暗黑破坏子tankbag，而这个春天，他们给我发了更新巴林的卷坦克袋。它们是相似的，但它们设计用于略微不同的角色。两个袋子通过三带线束连接;背面的两个带连接到框架（每侧的一个，在座位前面）。在摩托车的转向杆周围的前圆圈中的带子。然后坦克袋子将拉链进入这些线束。

Giant Loop Diablo tankbag($255)

Looking at its profile, it’s easy to see the Diablo tankbag is designed to fit dual sport fuel tanks. Once you handle the bag in person, you can also see it’s well-put-together kit that’s made to last a lifetime of riding. Like everything else from Giant Loop, the Diablo is made from heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester, reinforced with foam in key areas. The main part of the bag is water-resistant, including the zipper, but not waterproof. Giant Loop includes a waterproof rolltop bag that you can use to keep electronics, notebooks or maps from getting soggy. The internal main pocket features Velcro on the sides; you can use camera bag dividers to sub-divide this compartment.

暗黑破坏神桶袋确实在顶部的透视袋是防水的，后面的卡扣盖。这里有一个7×9英寸清晰的面板，所以你可以阅读地图或电子，甚至是;巨型循环包括在坦克袋上的一条通过端口，因此您可以在此透视口袋中放置GPS或智能手机，并从自行车上电。

There’s also a mesh rear pocket on the back of the tankbag.

暗黑破坏神桶袋具有四升容量。这听起来可能太笨重，对于径友好的自行车来说太笨重，但是三表格的线束系统使其保持良好的工作，即使在崎岖的地形上也是如此。

How well does it work?

Installation was quick and easy, and after a year of use on-road and off-road, this tankbag looks none the worse for wear. Giant Loop uses quality components, and it shows. I definitely would have liked it if this bag was waterproof, but it isn’t, and at least Giant Loop doesn’t pretend that it is. I did have condensation build up inside on a humid day, but generally speaking, that wasn’t a problem (can hardly blame the tankbag anyway, if you’re riding in a fog bank). I’d just advise anyone using this tankbag to make sure you have secondary waterproofing, either via the included rolltop bag, or your own Ziplocs, if you’re riding in the rain. Get lazy, and you just might ruin some expensive gear.

Obviously, the mesh pocket on the back of the tankbag is completely open to the weather, and I only used it to store things like waterproof cameras.

I will say that $255 sounds like a lot of money, but at least this tankbag comes with a lifetime warranty

巨大的环路暗黑破坏神修剪足够的冒险风格骑马（砾石道，轻型双重运动动作）。新利18苹果但是，我确实发现线束会随着时间的推移而变得有点松散 - 它并没有影响任何东西，实际上是说话的，但是一个OCD骑手可能不喜欢它。

The zipper closure wraps 3/4 of the way around the tankbag, so it’s easy to access all the contents, unlike some tankbags that are simply rolltops strapped into a harness. Those bags are waterproof, but if you want something at the bottom of the bag, you’ve got to empty the whole thing out.

Overall, it’s obvious this product is designed by dual sport enthusiasts, and I feel this bag is a good compromise for riders who need a bit of carrying capacity (say, they want to haul a camera and a GoPro). It’s got “just enough” room for a couple of gadgets, without being too bulky.

巨圈叶蛋白'滚动袋($99)

Buckin'Lock Tankbag只有1.5升容量。与缝合的斗斗帽不同，Buckin'卷具有防水RF焊缝，防水拉链。它仍然拉到一个三表格的线束，就像暗黑破坏神一样，但它旨在坐在燃料填充帽后面，而不是在它的顶部。

像暗黑破坏神一样，在Buckin'滚动袋上面有一个透视口袋。它要小得多，所以你无法在那里逼真地放置太多地图，但你可以用基本的旋转指令或手机/ GPS进行一个注释。我怀疑大多数人都在使用它作为手机架。有一个通过的端口，让您为您的电子设备运行充电线。在暗黑破坏神，您可以访问地图口袋而不打开主坦克袋，但在Buckin'卷上，您必须先打开主袋，然后从下面接入地图口袋。

您可以在坦克袋内获得冷凝堆积，但我只能看到一次或两次。考虑到我生活在加拿大东海岸的福音湾，这是不成熟的。在世界其他地区，我认为这与你要得到的风雨如此。

I’d used borrowed Giant Loop tankbags before they sent up the Diablo, so I was familiar with them—but I’d never run one as small as the 1.5-litre Buckin’ Roll tankbag. I’ve seen them advertised and was always a bit skeptical, since that’s a pretty small space. But Giant Loop has kept it in the lineup for years, and just updated it for 2020, so someone must like them, I guess? They offered to send me one, and I was keen to see if it really was usable, or just a gimmick.

I was surprised to find the Buckin’ Roll actually seems to be the “just enough” tankbag for most everyday dual sport riding purposes. I can jam my phone, a pocketknife and some other small hand tools, a wallet and a half-litre water bottle in there. For a day’s ride around gravel roads, that’s really all I need. I even took it on a recent tour around Atlantic Canada, figuring it would prove insufficient for longer rides. Turns out, it’s actually nice riding with something so small. It keeps everything you need handy, nothing more, nothing less. It basically allows you to take everything you’d normally accumulate in a jacket pocket and store it on the bike, so you don’t have gadgets and your wallet digging into you when you’re hunched over the tank.

As for tighter dual sport riding, the Diablo is fairly easy to work around, but can get in the way eventually. Not so with the Buckin’ Roll. I never notice it’s there.

Which would I buy?

I liked having the extra capacity in the Diablo tankbag while I rode Labrador on my WR250R—it does fit camera with a smallish lens quite handily.

I don’t like its price—$255 is a lot to only add four litres of capacity. I don’t like that it’s not waterproof, especially at its price point, but it sheds most weather, and the rolltop liner will cover you in a real downpour. However, if you absolutely需要能力，这是双重运动自行车的好选择。如果你有一个塑料罐，这是一个很好的选择。虽然它是昂贵的，但这是一块装备，它将适合任何双重运动摩托车，并且应该持续骑马的职业生涯，只要你定期维护拉链。

如果您不需要容量，我认为Buckin的卷包可能是一个更好的选择。它比暗黑破坏神少155美元，防水更好。你有很多空间，但至少可以将所有垃圾从夹克口袋中取出。如果您喜欢在越野裤子和泽西岛去散步，这是携带套件的好方法，甚至让您将手机用作GPS。即使您在较大的摩托车上，也允许您保持必需品，而不会在坦克上添加太多散装。它也适用于更多的摩托车。虽然只需1.5升的储存量为99美元，但该包是防水，寿命保修，并用作手机安装。你会在一生中经历多少个便宜的30美元的手机安装？看着长期来看，咖啡卷看起来不太昂贵。
