Description Crash bar bags for BMW R 1300 GS Adventure | pair of 5 L bags, rigid EVA shell and key lock

On the R 1300 GS Adventure, the space between the tank and the crash bars is wasted space. These two 5-liter hard bags fill it without adding frames, brackets, or straps.

Attention: they mount to the original mounting points, not the bars

Despite the commercial name “crash bar bag,” these bags do not attach to the crash bars on the R 1300 GS Adventure. They hook onto the two original mounting slots on the motorcycle’s side panels, above the radiator. Installation takes two steps and requires no tools.

Check your side panel before ordering: if the two slots are there, you’re all set. If your motorcycle doesn’t have them, the manufacturer offers a carbon-fiber radiator cover with a dedicated mounting kit as an alternative; it is a separate accessory, so contact us and we’ll check together which version your bike has.

Why choose these instead of a soft bag

  • Semirigid EVA shell: 58% nylon, 40% EVA, 2% polyester. It holds its shape and doesn’t flap in the wind.
  • Two-level anti-theft protection: the quick-release mechanism opens only from inside the bag, so it cannot be detached while the bag is closed; the zipper also has a keyed lock. The cylinder can be keyed alike with the same key as the LOBOO side cases by providing the key number when ordering.
  • Water resistance: water-repellent fabric and a YKK water-resistant zipper, plus an included waterproof inner bag made of nylon with sealing strips, for anything that really needs to stay dry.
  • External MOLLE panel and internal mesh pockets.
  • Reflective strip on the front of the bag, where it is visible to traffic approaching from the side.

Manufacturer’s stated specifications

  • Capacity: 5 liters per bag, sold as a pair
  • Dimensions: 310 × 305 × 120 mm per bag
  • Weight: 1.6 kg per pair
  • Compatibility: BMW R 1300 GS Adventure from 2024 onward

The package contains the two bags and the two waterproof inner bags. Removal takes two steps and leaves the motorcycle as it was.

Why choose it
  • Zipper: Custom YKK Water-Resistant Zipper
  • Internal Anti-Theft Latch: Features an ingenious quick-release mechanism accessible only from inside the bag, preventing thieves from removing bags while the motorcycle is parked.
  • Semi-Rigid EVA Shell: Made from 40% EVA and 58% Nylon to maintain a sleek aerodynamic shape that won't deform or flap in the wind like traditional soft bags.
  • 100% Waterproof: Includes a free removable waterproof inner bag and water-resistant exterior zippers, ensuring your electronics and documents remain completely dry even in the worst weathe
  • 5L of Organized Space: Offers 5 liters of capacity per bag with internal mesh pockets, perfect for organizing small essentials like tools, first aid kits, or snacks.
  • MOLLE Expansion Ready: Equipped with external MOLLE attachment points, allowing you to easily attach carabiners, multi-tools, or small additional pouches for quick access.
Who is it recommended for

Ideal for travel, adventure use, and light off-roading, where a low-speed fall can damage fairings and the engine.

How does it work, in detail?

They go on the original points, not on the bars

They go on the original points, not on the bars

The manufacturer is explicit: these bags are installed ONLY using the motorcycle’s original mounting points, namely the two slots built into the side panel above the radiator. The name “crash bar bag” refers to the location, not the attachment.

If your side panel does not have those slots, LOBOO offers the carbon-fiber radiator cover with a dedicated mounting kit as an alternative; this is a separate accessory. Check your motorcycle before ordering, or send us a photo.

Designed for the R 1300 GS Adventure

Designed for the R 1300 GS Adventure

The shape follows the side of the R 1300 GS Adventure: the bag fills the space between the tank and the bar without extending beyond the motorcycle’s existing footprint.

It is the only motorcycle specified by the manufacturer for this code: the R 1300 GS without Adventure has different side panels and is not compatible.

Two steps, no tools required

Two steps, no tools required

Insert the bag’s upper hook into the upper slot on the side panel, then press the lower hook into place until it clicks. Done.

No drilling, no brackets to buy separately, no strap that loosens halfway through the journey.

To take it apart, you must first open it.

To take it apart, you must first open it.

Disassembly is just as quick, but it’s done from the inside: open the bag, press the release button, and slide it downward.

It’s not just a convenience feature; it’s the core of the anti-theft system: from the outside, with the bag closed, no one can reach that button.

The latch opens only from the inside

The latch opens only from the inside

Most quick-release bags have the button on the outside: convenient for you, convenient for anyone walking past the parked motorcycle.

Here, the mechanism is reversed. The release is inside the bag, so as long as the bag is closed, it stays attached to the motorcycle.

And the zipper locks with a key

And the zipper locks with a key

The hinge has a keyed cylinder lock. Once it is locked, the bag cannot be opened, and since it cannot be opened, it cannot be detached: the two protections work together.

The cylinder can be keyed alike with the same key as the LOBOO side cases. If you already have them, provide us with the key number when placing your order and they will arrive keyed alike.

Inside, there is a second waterproof bag

Inside, there is a second waterproof bag

Every bag includes a removable inner pouch made of waterproof nylon with sealing straps. It’s included—it’s not an accessory you need to buy.

It’s designed to keep the things that truly need to stay dry separate: documents, phone, spare clothes. And it slides out so you can take it with you when you get off the motorcycle.

Water-repellent—and we say that precisely

Water-repellent—and we say that precisely

The outer fabric repels water and the YKK zipper is water-resistant: in the rain, the bag does its job.

But the manufacturer does not claim that it is waterproof, and we do not say that it is. For complete waterproofing, there is the included inner dry bag: that is exactly why LOBOO puts it in the box.

YKK zipper and mesh pockets

YKK zipper and mesh pockets

The zipper is a customized YKK version: it’s the component on a motorcycle bag that fails first, and no expense was spared here.

Inside, mesh pockets keep small items separate, so you don’t end up emptying the whole bag to find your keys.

MOLLE panel for what doesn’t fit

MOLLE panel for what doesn’t fit

On the outer side, there is an eight-loop MOLLE panel. Attach a pouch, a bottle holder, a tool roll, or a carabiner—even from other brands.

It’s the way to expand the five liters without changing bags.

A reflective strip where needed

A reflective strip where needed

On the front of the bag, facing forward, there is a highly visible reflective insert. It is positioned where it catches the light from anyone approaching from the side at an intersection.

A small detail, but on a motorcycle’s narrow silhouette at night, every additional reflective surface counts.

Everything there is, at a glance

Anti-theft structure, waterproof inner pouch included, water-repellent fabric, custom YKK zipper, reflective strip, and internal mesh pockets.

Six features that are usually found one at a time on different bags.

The figures, as reported by the manufacturer

The figures, as reported by the manufacturer

Model BHGB13BK, official name Crash Bar Bag. Fabric: 58% nylon, 40% EVA, 2% polyester. Capacity: 5 liters per bag; dimensions: 310 × 305 × 120 mm; weight: 1.6 kg per pair.

LOBOO notes that the dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight tolerances. It does not state the maximum load per bag: we do not have that information and will not make it up.

How do they fit on the motorcycle?

How do they fit on the motorcycle?

The bag fills the gap between the tank and the bar without making the bike wider: it stays within the Adventure’s existing footprint, and your knees have the same amount of room as before.

Once installed, it is worth checking that, with the handlebars turned fully, the bag does not touch the tank.

The quick-access compartment, not the main luggage compartment

The quick-access compartment, not the main luggage compartment

In the manufacturer’s photos, the motorcycle is equipped for touring: side cases, a top case, and these two bags at the front. This is how they are designed to be used.

The cases, top case, and frames shown in the images are NOT included: here you are buying only the pair of 5 L bags with the inner liners.

Ten extra liters you can't see

Ten extra liters you can't see

From the outside, the bike remains the same: the bags’ shape follows the side and doesn’t disrupt the Adventure’s lines.

Inside, though, there are ten liters you didn’t have before, accessible without getting off the bike or opening the cases.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Do they attach to the engine guard bars?

No, and it’s the most important thing to know before ordering. The manufacturer calls them crash bar bags because they sit in that area of the motorcycle, but on the R 1300 GS Adventure they attach to the original mounting points built into the side panel, above the radiator. The bars have nothing to do with it: if you have the bars but not the slots on the side panel, they cannot be installed.

How do I know if my motorcycle has mounting points?

Look at the side panel above the radiator, the one with the BMW logo. If you find two slots cut into the panel, one at the top and one lower down, you’re all set: those are the ones.

If in doubt, send us a photo of the side panel and we’ll confirm it for you before purchase.

What if my side panel doesn’t have slots?

The manufacturer offers an alternative: the carbon-fiber radiator cover with the dedicated mounting kit, which replaces the panel and includes the attachment points. It is a separate accessory, not included in this package.

Write to us and we’ll tell you how to obtain it and how much it will cost in your case.

Do they fit the standard R 1300 GS, not the Adventure?

No. The manufacturer only states the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure from 2024 onward. The R 1300 GS has different side panels and does not have the mounting points required for these bags.

How much goes into each bag?

Five liters per bag, ten in total, with dimensions of 310 × 305 × 120 mm. It’s just the right amount of space for a pair of gloves, rain gear, a puncture repair kit, documents, or tools: a quick-access compartment, not your main luggage.

Inside, there are mesh pockets to keep small items separate, while the outside features a MOLLE panel for attaching pouches or bottle holders.

Are they waterproof?

The outer bag is water-repellent, with treated fabric and a YKK water-resistant zipper: it withstands rain, but the manufacturer does not claim that it is waterproof.

That’s why the package includes one waterproof inner bag for each bag, made of nylon with sealing straps: put documents and electronics inside it and you won’t have to worry about them anymore.

Can someone take them while the motorcycle is parked?

There are two layers of protection. The button that releases the bag from the side panel is inside the bag, so you can’t reach it from outside when the bag is closed. And the zipper has its own keyed lock, so the closed bag can’t be opened and therefore can’t be detached.

It’s still a fabric accessory: it discourages a quick grab, but it doesn’t replace common sense about what you leave inside.

Can I have the same key for my side cases?

Yes. The cylinder is set up for unified coding with LOBOO side cases: simply provide us with the key number when placing your order, and they will arrive already coded.

If you do not request this, they will arrive with their own dedicated key.

How much do they weigh, and how much weight can I load onto them?

The two empty bags weigh 1.6 kg in total, according to the manufacturer’s stated specifications.

LOBOO does not state the maximum load for each bag, and we prefer to say so rather than invent a number. They hold five litres each and attach to the side panel: they are suitable for light, bulky items, not heavy tools.

Do you need tools to install them?

None. Two steps per side: insert the upper hook into the upper slot on the side panel and push the lower one into place until it clicks. No drilling or modifications required: once removed, the motorcycle returns to its original condition.

How does shipping work?

Tracked shipping, free for orders over €100 in Italy and over €250 in Europe. The product is checked and prepared before leaving our warehouse, in the manufacturer's original packaging.

Warranty and return options?

24-month legal warranty of conformity for consumers: in the event of a defect, we will handle the claim with the manufacturer.

You also have the right to return the product within 14 days of delivery: it must be intact and in its original packaging. Contact us and we will guide you through the process.
