The elegant and rugged Xplorer cases have become one of Hepco & Becker’s top selling products since being introduced only a couple years ago. They are made of 1.5 mm thick anodized aluminum and ABS plastic to combine the best of both worlds. The aluminum has been anodized to prevent corrosion especially when putting wet items in the case. The plastic has been designed to absorb impacts. The angled structure of the cases provide for enhanced strength and durability. A clever lid hinge makes it so that you can remove the lid completely if needed making this is a top loader case that folds up to 90° for maximum access. Tie down points are molded into the top of the case allowing for additional attachment of H&B top bags or other luggage.

The Xplorer range of cases is available in natural anodized aluminum or black anodized aluminum. The construction includes impact-resistant moldings, which are riveted to the aluminum with a generous feed of sealant to ensure a watertight seal. All the Xplorer bags come with integrated carrying handles. Side cases are available in 30 and 40 liter sizes and are purchased individually. Most choose to make an Enduro set where one side is sized differently from the other to offset the muffler. The Xplorer line offers a top case in a 45-liter version that will accept one full-faced helmet. Several accessories for the Xplorer side cases include carrying handle straps, shoulder straps, tool kit, inner bags, and a two liter canister complete with a holding plate which can be used for additional gasoline or water according to the riders needs. Water bottles are available, however, they do not come with the actual water bottle shown. These water bottle holders and canisters will require drilling by the customer. Expandable top bags are available which mount to the lids of side cases through the tie down points molded into the case for additional storage. Accessories for the top cases include a backrest and top railing that can be mounted from left to right or front to back, available in black or silver.

External Dimensions: 13 x 19.5 x 15in / Internal Dimensions: 12 x 15.5 x 13.5in / Weight: 13.2lb

Customers praised this lightweight aluminum top case for its "stylish" design, ample space, and quality construction. The side-opening feature is appreciated when bikes are loaded. However, shoppers noted concerns about thin wall material that dents easily and low weight capacity relative to interior space.

Space to Weight Mismatch

Well the cases goes together well, plenty of space. What I don't like is too much plastic and low weight capacity. It would be easy to fill bag half way and hit weight capacity. So what can I pack clothes only? My plan is to add mounting to go along with plastic mounting to boost weight capacity so I can fill bag, I'm not talking a lot of additional weight but I'll be over. I have a long trip planned and can't risk breakage halfway through.

Stylish, Lightweight, Roomy

This is a very sturdy yet lightweight topcase. Seemingly quite well made and more interior room than I was expecting. Very pleased with this case and it is a great fit on the Pan America 1250S.

Very well engendered and manufactured product

Very well engendered and manufactured, its a joy to use. The material on walls of the box is very thin. It appears that a buckle from my back pack placed in the box permanently dented or dimpled the material, very visible from the outside.

Install 2015 f800gs

I hadnt used it yet, but the mounts and hardware is good quality and ample space. Odd that the open from the right and not from the back, but Ill survive.

I have BmW Vario on my gs1200 and I think I will like these better due to aluminum shell and strap mounts.

Looks the part

This top case is easy to put on and take off. It has two locks on the top and really feel like quality. The black version looks good on our black bike.

Great box

This is a great top box. Perfect size to fit everything needed without being too bulky or big. Light weight and good looks, doesn't look as boxy as other brands.

Hepco & Becker Top Case 45

Very pleased with this top case. The adapter mount was very good quality and spot on regarding all mounting holes lining up with the motorcycle mount. The case opens to the side and that is a great feature when bike is fully loaded. Highly recommend this top case.

Nice looking case

I decided to go with this case after researching several adventure bike forums for input and recommendations. One reason I did not go with the standard OEM case was the argument that if I ever switch to another brand of bike, I could use the case on the other brand of bike. Installation was easy, once I had the Rear Alurack in place. Looks great on my bike! Material seems durable and of a high quality and I liked the all black look. Looking forward to purchasing the side panniers in the near future!
