The Xtravel Top Bag is the rear luggage option for the Xtravel line up from Hepco & Becker. The Xtravel line can be described as soft yet durable luggage designed for everybody; from the everyday commuter to the end-of-the-world traveler!

The reason we chose to describe the bag as such is the form and function it provides.For the everyday commuter or those without a rear rack, you can use the bag as a motorcycle backpack. And for those who pack a heavy lunch, it can be used as a rear bag. The bag mounts to the rear of your bike with 4 straps with one for each corner of the bag. All you need to do is loop the straps to suitable tie down points and then take the other end where the hooks are and hook them onto the top of the bag pulling each one tight to install.

Hepco & Becker have really thought of everything for this motorcycle bag. The black shell you see on top is a top loading storage pocket that comes undone with one clip for quick access. The main storage area features a waterproof roll top and clip enclosure to keep your belongings dry. Space can be increased from 20 to 30 liters by unzipping the bottom like that of an expandable suitcase. The backpack straps are stowed out of sight when not in use and the back portion is padded to ensure comfort while using as a backpack. The form is without a doubt just as impressive as the function. That outer shell mentioned earlier is made of abrasion-resistant tarpaulin that provides stability and facilitates cleaning. The tie down hooks all come in black to remain discrete and then one large clip on top for strength and style. You can see this bag was made with the best quality materials possible in order to last you a lifetime.

Great quality, design doesn't work well though.

I purchased this to go with my H&B Xtravel side bags, but I just couldn't it to work. First, the quality is excellent! Thick soft bag, very well made, waterproof design, everything you'd expect from H&B! But... the design needs rethinking. First, the little top compartment, where they suggest storing a wallet or small items, is only attached to the bag on one end, there's no zipper or velcro around the sides or other end. Yes the straps do keep it closed, but unless the bag is fully packed with enough tension to keep it really tight, things in here can slide out. My wallet is somewhere along a 100 mile stretch of road because of that. Secondly, the main bag is not designed to provide easy access to what's inside. It's more pack for the trip, unpack when you arrive. That's because the straps which secure it to the bike fasten to the top. So if they're good and tight, you can't open the end and reach in to find anything. You have to disconnect the straps from the top, and that's a pain to do. This could be solved with one set of straps to hold it to the bike, and another method for quickly collapsing or expanding the bag to reach in. Bottom line is I tried really hard to get this to work, it was just more frustrating than useful. Which is a shame, because it's such a nice piece of gear. I'll keep the great side bags, but go with another style top bag.

This bag complements the side

This bag complements the side bags of my Bobber and doubles up as a backpack. Very clever indeed. Great materials and looks. Waterproof too is a bonus.
