Viaterra Crossbar Handlebar Trailpack Review

I’m the kind of rider who prefers to travel light. Usually, a backpack with the bare essentials gets the job done. But living with the Triumph Scrambler 400 X has thrown up one inconvenience. There’s no proper tool kit on board; just an Allen key and a spanner under the seat, which is not reassuring once you start riding longer distances.The Trailpack immediately appealed to me for its simple and neat design. 

Mounting and dismounting it is quick and hassle-free thanks to the integrated Velcro straps. On a bike like the Scrambler 400 X, the fit is secure, sitting snugly on the crossbar without interfering with steering movement or blocking the view of the instrument cluster. Additionally, what I appreciate is that it fits well with the crossbar foam protection. Once mounted, it was secured in place even when I hit a section of bad roads.

With a total capacity of 1.2 litres, it is perfectly sized for a basic tool kit, which was my primary use case, but its versatility goes beyond that. It can just as easily hold your wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, or even action cameras along with spare batteries and mounts. The mesh pocket at the back is a nice touch, offering quick access to smaller items without having to unzip the main compartment.

Easily holds a small tool kit along with some small daily essentials.

That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. This specific version is designed for motorcycles with crossbar handlebars, typically ADVs and scramblers, and is not waterproof. Viaterra also offers a standard handlebar bag and a fully waterproof variant, which are better suited to conventional handlebars, albeit they have a more time-consuming mounting process.

At Rs 999, the Viaterra Crossbar Handlebar Trailpack offers excellent value as it feels well built, is thoughtfully designed and genuinely useful. Overall, it is a compact and neat storage solution that blends seamlessly into daily riding as well as touring.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
