Pannier volume

[Ted]

Had a quick search but not the info i'm after.
Has any one got the approx volume for the standard Vario panniers and the alloy Adventure ones. Bm just to quote load/weight capacity but all the others seem to give a volume so difficult judge size if I get aftermarket ones.
Thanks.

Think outside the box, Ted.

Companies sell bags to fit in the panniers, what volume(s) are the bags advertised at?

Google is your friend.

Or, here is a taster from....Um, let me see, well I never, BuMW's very own website:

Good thinking..
unfortunatly just googled and only find that BM bags say the panniers they fit, not the volume of the bags
all the others, TT, Givi, Metal Mule, SW Motec etc give bag & pannier volume

All from Google: 'BMW inner bags 1200 GS'. Amazing, really.

According to an old copy of "Bike" from when the 12 was launched.

Right hand pannier 37 - 46 litres

Left hand pannier 28 - 37 litres

But only obtainable if you're packing marbles. The Varios really are quite small and the BMW bags best avoided too if you're after decent space.

Good choice Ted, looks like a good un.mine is indeed a Robens too. Similar size but traditional dome tent, greater headroom means you can just about stand up and put your trousers on . Can easily sit inside it in on a full size camping chair and make a brew, eat a meal etc whilst under cover but outside of the 'bedroom'. Good tents.

To help out, I thought I'd fill my panniers with water, measuring how much I put in. So far, one Vario pannier has taken 500 litres.










I think they might not be waterproof

Watertight is the word.

Proof keeps out

Tight keeps in (and in a sense out, too)

A fine investigation all the same. Keep it up
