What’s the first thing the typical BMW GS owner wants to do with their bike? Bolt a set of hard luggage to it, of course! Things may have moved on a bit since the Charley and Ewan era, but rigid aluminium panniers are still the default choice to show you have the adventurous spirit, so German accessory-monger Wunderlich has adapted its lightweight X-Case system to fit BMW’s latest adventure bike, the R1300 GS.
The cases come in a choice of black or silverThe cases come in a choice of black or natural anodised aluminium, with capacities of 36 litres each side for the panniers and 49 litres for the top box. They also come with a choice of standard locks or locks that can be coded to work with the bike’s key. Model-specific tubular steel racks fit to the bike and the cases fit to those via stainless-steel quick release catches which incorporate a handle for off-bike carrying duties.
The top boxes have an SRP of €399 in silver or €419 in black, and the cases are €719/€759 per pair, for models with standard locks. If you want the coded locks, simply add €20 to each of those SRPs.
