SW-Motech has designed a new mounting system for panniers that promises to be quicker and easier, giving true one-handed operation. Set to debut on the Legend Gear and WP waterproof side bags later this year, the new V-LOC system uses a V-shaped plastic carrier that mounts to the motorcycle via a forged steel bracket, then integrated Fidlock magnetic technology guides the bag into position, where it locks with an audible click. Strong magnets ensure that th e panniers are secure, and an automatic locking system prevents unauthorised access once they are fitted on the bike. An optional lock set allows the bags to be locked to the bike for added security. V-LOC carriers will be available to suit a wide range of bikes, with applications being announced starting this spring.
