Rating: Fits your toddler and your gear for a weekend away!
just so much space! With plenty of pockets in
the lid, as well as the ability to create a space
just for your helmet, it is versatile too.
In fact, I’ve found there is room for a full week
away with the usual faff in the main pocket, plus
a curious toddler will also fit in the lid pocket to
boot (no toddlers were harmed in the writing of
this review).
That translates to a capacity of 123 litres which
is huge. It’ll swallow the full complement of
trackday gear, or all your dirt gear, with room to
spare. The only issue is when you’re packing to
get on a plane and need to keep the weight
down, that extra toddler you packed on top
of your riding kit and undies might just tip you
over the weight limit...
Build quality is what you’d expect from a premium
brand, with the Structural Load Equalising Deck (SLED)
base ensuring that you can chuck this bad boy in and out
of the car with no worries that the baggage handlers
are going to wreck it. The Rig 9800 is built tough!
With the future of moto travel overseas looking a bit
gloomy at the moment I’m still glad to have this Ogio
in my arsenal. Its ability to swallow a big heap of stuff
is astounding. With our “Zombie Apocalypse”
plan seemingly closer to being enacted, I’m glad I
can fit enough gear for the family for our next
escape whenever it may be.
