As many of you may know, finding panniers/bags that fit directly on to GS’s that have Vario mounts is a pain in the butt, especially if you don’t want to fit extra racks and mounts.
I’ve found a Polish company online called Apduro. I’d never heard of them until a couple of weeks ago. They already produced rackless semi-rigid panniers for the R1300GS with Vario mounts but earlier this week they brought to market rackless semi rigid moto bags that mount directly onto the Vario mounts on the R1250GS AND various other GS models - they look very similar to the Lone rider bags, but approximately HALF the price! Full price is €916 plus shipping.
From today until the 30th November, in addition to the cheaper price they have an additional 20% off Black Friday event. They ship from Poland, but the discount covers the shipping (and no doubt) import tax. Even after those charges they still work out a lot cheaper than LoneRider. I like LoneRider and have one of their Overlander bags but could never justify spending the amount of money they want for their rackless moto-bags.
I’ve literally just ordered a set for my 1250GS so I haven’t seen them in the flesh, yet but they have lots of positive reviews from UK customers about their quality and service (so they don’t seem to be an Aliexpress operation!). MotoWales also sells their kit and has footage on YouTube promoting them (however the newest bags for the R1250Gs, etc are not yet on their website). I’ve just paid €793 (£662) including shipping, so I’ve saved €183
I’m not affiliated with this company at all, simply as there’s a time limit for the sale, and it seems to be bargain that ticks a lot of boxes, I thought it’d be helpful to give people who’re in the market for this type of luggage a heads up
