- Over view and buying guide for the Sw-Motech Evo tank bag range. I get a lot of questions on the channel with regards to my tank bags, hopefully this answers your question, but feel free to drop me a comment below, if you have any further questions.
Take a look at the Evo Tank bag range:

I have the Sport and the adapter plate that puts a tank ring on the alu-rack--that lets me use the bag as a rear bag instead of a tank bag. It looks sleek and functions really well. I"m glad you did this review as they didn't include in the instructions what that little black lanyard with the popper was for--I had noticed how hard it was to reach the wire for disconnect :) Thanks so much!
Got all the new one coming for review, have you seen them? Real game changer😜
Thanks so much TLR, an excellent review which helps a lot. Cheers from Australia.
Beautiful exposition of the SW tank bags .
Always intresting things on your channel !
nice job . Greetings
Marc Wouters
thanks Marc, loads more to come
Loving your channel, every time I see your garage/man cave it pleases my OCD no end as it's so organised. Keep up the great work and I really hope my new channel will be as well put together as yours once I get to grips with everything . 👍🏻
Thanks very much!! the garage is probably the only area of the house were I only go, so I can't get destroyed by my kids!! lol Keep with you channel, it is frustrating at the start, and these days it's much harder to get your stuff out there. Just be you and make videos, and let the channel build itself
Just bought the engage bag for my S1000xr through watching your review. I agree it looks very nice on the BMW more so than the others. I Had to buy mine through a UK company as SW-Motech didn't allow for me to purchase through them for some reason. Thanks for the good review my friend

great stuff! hope you enjoy your new purchase, happy to be of help
Nice to see the range all in a row like that, thanks. Sw-motech should sort you and your viewers out with a discount link due to exposure that you give them!
ImaginaryGarage
I'll look into that for you👍
TheLikeableRider quick follow-up question if that's ok - which model would you recommend to be big enough for a DSLR plus a couple of lenses. Just big enough but not overly so. I'm looking for the minimal size I can get away with.
ImaginaryGarage
I can get my DLSR and one spare lens in the Engage, not sure you'd get two it, depends on the lens size I suppose. The City would he the next size up, you'd comfortably get it in that with room to spare, but with the City you're on the road to a large tank bag. Just checked the Day pack, that's a better shape, you'd probably get everything in there with a squeeze
Many thanks for the reply! I'll take a look at those that you mention.
Found this extremely helpful, I also have bmw s1000xr like yourself. I already have sw motech accessories for the beast and did not know which one to order the engage looks right as you say and suits the bike. Many thanks.

you're welcome! glad it helped
Hi I did not realise it only comes in German so I have gone with John Henmann book on the Alps but many thanks Mike
I have the city bag on my MT10 and the mrs has a daypack and sport on her Street Triple. They are great bags. The first time I fitted the base plate to the first bag I made the mistake of not undoing the velcro cover inside the base of the bag before I drilled!!!!
Banditmanuk
ooops! I've done it too lol
Nice to hear you and your Mrs have a few
Awesome video, Helped me choose the tankbag for my XR
+Thomas Rikkerink
Thank you Thomas glad it helped
Very good video mate, I think these Tank bags are the best on the market, they were well brought over from your side. RSM8
+Bulldog Gaz
Thanks Gaz, they have great kit! Got more products coming soon for review.
These bags look really nice as well as good quality, but none have a phone holder clear panel on top. I remain dubious of mounting my phone on bars. Have seen phones fall out of mounts as well as phones cameras being damaged by vibration. For me, a tank bag would solve both those issues. Phones doubling as GPS is another consideration as well. Other bags that have phone slots are again not accomodating current phone sizes.
Im not a fan of tank bags with phone slots, most of the time you cant operate the phone through the clear plastic. I've been mount cameras and phones on the bars for years, never had n issue. There's some really good reliable mounts out there!
Great content 👍🏼 de
Why wouldn't they make the tank bags out of a waterproof material so you don't have to stop and put a little plastic cover over it.
Anyone on a FJR1300es trying to decide witch of the smaller ones to get? Cheers
Both the Pro Micro or Daypack would work fine😜
Thanks for your great review on these tank bags. Can you give opinion as to whether the Engage would be a suitable choice for the Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200--2017 Cheers
Peter Magnay
I couldn't say for sure, as the explorers tank does fall away a fair bit, towards the rider. I think that it may hang over too much. You'd be better off with the Micro or Daypack. The city also fits well on your bike, my m8 has one on his.
Hi I was viewing one of your vlogs about the French Alps and you mentioned you git the route from a book I think you called Kerbs, I have searched and cannot find, I could have got the name wrong, can you please let me know and would like to purchase one. Great job mate keep it up Mike.
Hi Mike! Here you go
www.amazon.de/dp/3667118996/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cR0aFbGH41WB1
They do show where the passes are on some small maps, but with these books you can really see the spectacular scenery, as all the photos are taken from the air. That gives you a much better feel for which ones to ride!
thanks for everything.
Dany Brancato
No worries👍😜
Thanks
Couldn’t make my mind up what make or size was best suited to my needs and bike
Just ordered the 7l evo engage
Is it possible to place order from india
Great video m8. Seems easy enough. 😃
Thomas Hanson
ta very much!
Just wondered what sw motech evo tank ring did you use on your superduke gt please as I can't find 1 listed.
Spot on fella. Cracking vid. Liked & Subbed....
+Jason G
Ta very much!
saw some questions/comments regarding dslr's. That's one of the uses I need to get a bag for so I can take some camera gear out with me and my '16 SuperDuke. What bag do you typically use for camera gear, and what do you fill it with? I'm a little nervous about weight. I'd typically probably want my DSLR, 70-200 2.8, and a wide angle lens.
I'm debating between the SW-Motec system and the Givi system, and a bag in the 15-20L range
You can get everything comfortably in the City, with a squeeze on a short ride the Engage will work, but only room for a camera with lens removed, but it is a squeeze!
Do they make mounting kit for Indian FTR1200 ?
I couldn't tell you, you'd have to look on their website! Link is on the description.
Hi! I'm looking for one of those, but I need one that could get in it an A4 size notebook. Could you tell me which one I would need?
You'd have to go with the largest GS tank bag I'm sure
I also really enjoyed your vid. I've got an S1000XR as well, and was about to get the Daypack for it, as the Micro was too small, and the City too big I thought. I hadn't come across the Engage. I like it though... The Daypack seems to fit another 4 liters when expanded, so I'm torn... When the Daypack is installed, is there a big gap under the front of it (closest to you)? Or can you put it forward enough, so there's not much?
ItsLotus99
They all fit great on the XR! And the engage looks best for sure. There is plenty of adjustability to ensure you get the correct position.
I've bought Daypack, that is claimed 5-9liters. But it's so small, I'm a bit disappointed. How they measured the volume, no idea
All depends on what you'd like to put in them, hopefully the video helped you to see the size of them.
Great! I'm thinking about buying a small SW bag to have my Camera always in reach when needed. But the space on my GSA is limited because of the handle bar. Do you think there's enough space inside the Micro bag for a DSLR camera?
Kradmelder24
not even sure if you'll get a DSLR in the micro bag, I'll check later. Yeah the GS is a difficult one because of how the tank is shaped. The City, and GS definitely fit! I'll check the micro later for you
Heading to Italy at the start of June and want to get one of these bags for a Triumph Tiger 1050. The main aim is to hold Gopro's and accessories,also battery power pack and the few essentials like a passport and maybe a small bottle of water. Which bag do you recommend?
It would be the engage for me, although with a water bottle you'd have to go up to the City. The City will do you all you neef comfortably, but a bit more towards a touring tank bag
Any idea which bag can be mounted forward the most with minimum projection towards the back of the bike?
I've tried one of the small Givi bags on my ZX-10r and it hits my chest because the fuel cap is so far back. The bag projects back about 70 mm from the back of the fuel cap ring. The SW-Motech bags look more promising, but it's hard to tell. The Daypack and the Micro look like they have the most potential.
Martin Thompson
the larger bags have the most amount of adjustability, but obviously fill up most of the tank space. The Micro or daypack would probably be the best option for your bike.
I wanted to ask you the third bag on your left with a capacity of seven liters, looking at the site, it is incompatible with the BMW S1000XR, as the video fits well! You can supply the bag code and ring code.
thats strange! they all fit the XR....give me minute
just had a look on their site, I don't why its not listed under the S1000Xr, but it is listed if you just look through their tank bag range. The Tank bag is called the engage, and you'll find it under Luggage Systems, Evo Tank Bags. The Ring is also under Luggage Sytems, Tank rings. I see there are two different ones for the Xr, depending on the year of your bike. Not sure why that is because they are the same. This tank bag and ring will fit the Xr, I use it on mine.
www.sw-motech.com
Ring product code TRT.00.640.12602/B
Bag code BC.TRS.00.107.20001
These article codes are compatible with yours?
yes thats it, and yes its compatible with my bike
Late to this video but very informative - thanks. One question - is the bag always held off the paintwork?
Yes it sits above the paintwork and doesn't touch it.
TheLikeableRider great - many thanks. I’ll get one for my Street Triple - just have to decide between micro and day...!
What is trhe main diference between the Pro and the Evo tank bags?
The pro version has the new tank ring attachment which includes a number of magnets, which helps it slot into place. Mounting them has really become much easier with the Pro bags.
Is it true the screws don't fit KTM 790??
Not heard that before, it's the same tank ring for all BMW, KTM and Ducati models, so can't see why the screws wouldn't fit.
Hi mate! I got Cbr650 F and I would like to have the engage one 7 L. Do you think this tank bag would fit my bike? The SW moteck website says It fits Cb 650 f and do not mention my bike.
Hey!
Not sure if it would fit tbh, just looked at a picture of your tank, and it's looks like it would fit okay to me. I bought the engage a while ago for my tiger 1050, and it wasn't on their website either, that it would fit. I ordered it anyway and it fitted fine. Maybe send them a quick email, who knows if they actually test the fit for every bike that they provide for. Could just gamble and send it back, if it doesn't fit.
@@thelikeablerider8800 I bought it yesterday online and once I get it home I'll see how it looks.i believe should be fine as I saw a picture of a cbr650f with that tank bag. I was trying to upload it here for you but there is no option for that. I apreciated your quick reply and the good video helping us to have a better view of things we wish to buy it.
Hope it all works out for you, as it would look great on your bike! There is a certain amount of adjustability with it, so hopefully you'll be okay. Let me know how you get on. If you go onto my Facebook page (link in the description) you can send me the photo that way.
@@thelikeablerider8800 Just send you the photos I have got from the cbr650f with the tank bag. I will let you know when I get the bike sorted with the tank bag. Thanks for the help.
👍😜
I noticed on the trail bag I couldn’t see your clocks ?
Was that just the way your camera was filming it or do you have a restricted view
Hi
Just looks that way with the camera, none of them restrict view when you're sat on the bike.
on their site, the EVO Engage tank bag is not suitable for the s1000xr any idea why?
+muli ron
That's strange, I think it's the best fitting
+muli ron
Think it's just not listed under the s1000xr items, but it fits great
you pay forgot but have to drill it?
+Michael Caton
Yes you have to drill the base plate when you have it in the correct position for your bike, it's very easy to do.
Klasse Review🖒 Wie stabilisierst du die Aufnahmen während der Fahrt? Nutzt du ein Gimbal-System am Helm?
Anonym Butler
i use the gopro karma grip when ridding, but can't attach that to my helmet as it's too big
Would love to see them flitted to the f750gs
Good review but christ its abit dull!
After 4 months of light use that bag fall apart. No replacement was given.Very bad customer service.Stay away.
Can't understand how it would just fall apart with light use, and if it had then replacements would be sent! I've used them for years (hard use) and nothing has failed. Your story sounds dodgy🤷♀️
Zipper was made from rotten treads.

Am I look like a jester?
@@TheACEIRA what was the reason they gave you for not replacing it, if you don't mind me asking?
the givi system is so much better than this.....drilling WTF
no its not , sw motech finish is better , tank ring is sleek compare to ugly one provided by givi , what a problem to drill 4 small holes - you are doing this just ones
Thank you for this upload. Sw-Motech it is.👍🏽
You're welcome! Glad it helped
