Model: Ogio Rig 9800 Price: $429 Size: 34in H x 16.5in W x 15.25in D Distributor: Northern Accessories Info: www.roadguide.co.nz 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. KIWI RIDER 89
