ROAD PRODUCTS 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.

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.
