SW-Mototech PEAX debuts as new rackless luggage system for adventurous types
The German bike accessory brand showcased its new PEAX reckless system at EICMA 2026
If you’re off on a particularly adventurous tour that is likely to involve trail riding shenanigans, a reckless soft luggage system is definitely the way to go for bringing your pants, socks, and tyre levers along with you. And now, there’s a new option in the form of the SW-Mototech PEAX, which was recently showcased at EICMA in Milan.
The main part is an impact-resistant mid plate made from SRPP (self-reinforced polypropylene - we had to Google that), to which side plates with “pre-mounted holsters” are attached. These are made from a mix of Hypalon and ballistic nylon, and each can hold a 20-litre PEAX waterproof roll-top side bag.
Mounting straps keep the system held snugly on the bike, so there’s no need for an ugly rack to keep them in place, and it should be easy to take everything off when not needed. You can also get a centre plate with a cutout for bikes with a filler cap on the rear.
Two optional ‘Beaver Tail’ top bags with 10 and 25-litre capacities are available, giving three potential configurations of 40, 50 or 65 litres. On SW-Mototech’s site, there’s a configurator showing the different configurations, which cost €570 (roughly £475) in the 40-litre setup, €670 (£560) for the 50, and €700 (£585) for the 65. The version with the fuel filler cutout is charged at the same price, but was out of stock at the time of writing. Shipping to the UK costs €20.
In Spring 2027 the range will expand to include a one-litre tank bag for the essentials, plus an eight-litre tail bag to bump storage capacity at the rear a little. SW-Mototech is promising developments beyond these additions, too.
Rival setups worth cross-shopping the SW-Mototech PEAX with include the Lone Rider ADVBags system, and Kreiga’s OS-Base range.
