Alubox ABX-M32 review
A 32-litre solid aluminium side case in 1.2 mm material, published with both external and internal dimensions, a lid seal, a catch strap and a folding carry handle.
The bottom line Four measurements, a gauge, a country of manufacture and a plain statement that the brackets are not in the box. The most honest listing in this family.
What the seller commits to paper
32 litres, 1.2 mm solid aluminium, made in the EU. Outside 490 × 240 × 367 mm, inside 455 × 205 × 350 mm. A lid with a catch strap and a seal running right round, and a carry handle that folds automatically.
And: the mounting hardware is not included.
Both dimensions, which is the pair that matters
External dimensions decide clearance — exhaust, pillion pegs, the other case. Internal dimensions decide what goes in. Aluminium wall and lid structure mean they differ by more than a buyer estimates, and almost nothing on this shelf publishes both.
The sentence most listings would have left out
Stating that the brackets are a separate purchase makes the case look more expensive and the buyer better informed. It is the kind of line this site exists to repeat.

What riders ask about this one
Why publish both sets of dimensions?
The outside decides whether the case clears your panniers, exhaust and pillion. The inside decides whether your gear fits. Wall thickness and lid structure mean they are not the same measurement, and this listing gives both.
What do I still need to buy?
The mounting hardware. The maker states it is not included, which is a statement about the total cost and one most listings leave out.
Who this one is for
A rider who already has a carrier and wants a case measured inside and out.
Compared with its closest rivals
Same category, nearest prices. Only the specifications every one of them states are shown — a half-empty column compares nothing.

Pair · 22 L each · 5 kg load each · Monokey mounting · made in Italy
A pair of Monokey side cases of 22 litres each with a published load limit of 5 kg per case, made in Italy — the only luggage here that publishes a weight limit.
Best for: A cruiser already carrying Monokey mounts, where the load limit is the number that decides packing.
Side case · the listing publishes three bullets and no specification
A side case whose listing bullets read "Side cases", "High quality products for motorcycles" and "SHAD Side Cases" — no capacity, dimensions, material or mounting are published.
Best for: A rider who already knows the SHAD system and is re-ordering something they have handled.
