Luggage
Knowing what fits, or knowing what it can hold?
Between these two you get the complete specification of a pannier — and neither gives it alone.

A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.
The one you can measure against your machine and your gear before ordering. Four dimensions, a material gauge, and a plain statement that the brackets are a separate purchase.
The one that publishes the figure nothing else here gives: how much weight the case and its mount were built to carry, hanging out at the side of a moving machine.
The outside decides clearance — exhaust, pillion pegs, the other case. The inside decides what goes in. Wall thickness and lid structure mean they differ by more than a buyer estimates.
This page cannot say. What it reports is that one listing in the whole of this catalogue's luggage publishes one, and that volume says what fits while weight says what the mounting was built to hold.

Nothing written into the text below is a current price. Where an amount appears in a sentence, it is the reading taken on the day that sentence was written; what a shop is asking at this moment loads beside the product itself, and that is the figure to go by.
