TRAVEL IN JETSET STYLE
The latest member of the EVO luggage family, the EVO-60 Jet-
Stream is made specifically to work with Ventura’s EVO Pack
Racks, it is designed in NZ and manufactured using only the
finest materials available, including durable and water-resistant
fabrics plus padlock-ready zippers.
The Evo 60 features an expandable gusset, to ensure it’ll swallow
everything you need, for a couple of days up to all the essentials
for a major expedition.
The pack slips easily onto Ventura’s rack system, and its solid
base means it can safely store even a full-sized helmet. The
bright red lining guarantees you’ll no longer lose small items in
the dark depths of your bag.
The rack system is highly adaptable with lots of options, and
you can move the rack fore or aft by up to 50mm, rotate it 180
degrees, or move the pack forward 500mm. It all depends on
whether you want to carry a pillion or are riding solo, and prefer
to have the bag on the seat closer to the bike’s centre of gravity.
Either way you simply slip the bag on, fasten the retaining straps,
and go. On arrival, simply unfasten, lift off, and use the bag as
you would any holdall.

COMMANDING CRUISER
The Michelin Commander2 cruiser tyre promises unrivalled
tyre life thanks to a specially developed rubber compound.
Independent US tests using a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide
Classic proved a rear Michelin Commander II can cover up to
40,000km, nearly twice the distance of its direct competitors,
while the front tyre lasts even longer.
Yet that durability doesn’t compromise wet weather grip,
manoeuvrability or stability – Michelin’s philosophy is that no
performance gain can be achieved to the detriment of another.
