Kappa is touting its new K5600 top box as a greener and more sustainable option than the opposition. It’s made from recycled technopolymers and has been designed in such a way that it doesn’t need painting, which not only reduces the amount of chemicals but also reduces water consumption and energy use. Beyond the eco credentials, the K5600 is a commodious piece of luggage, with a capacity of 56 litres, big enough to stash a pair of modular helmets. Despite being unpainted, looks haven’t been ignored – the lid has gloss black polycarbonate inserts and a brushed aluminium effect centre section. The K5600 has an SRP of £262.95, with optional extras including an inner bag, an elasticated storage net and even a faux leather passenger backrest available.
