SW-Motech Pro Tank Bags - Full Range Guide - Which one is right for you?

SW-Motech has a huge collection of tank bags in their range, the most popular being the 'Pro' bags, which mount onto a magnetic tank ring. There's a bag for every bike, in numerous capacities with fully waterproof options too. In this video, I show you all of the Pro tank bags that fit with the Pro tank ring lock. To keep things as concise as possible I'll look at the capacity, key features and how it sits on the tank.

A big thanks to my channel partners for their support;

Perfect, this is exactly what I'd been looking for. Short and to the point.

This video was a great idea, wish I had this video about a year ago, I also had to pick kind of 'blind' for my AT myself. In the end I went with a pro city bag and I am very happy with it. Not so big that its in the way with normal riding, and can just throw all electronics (including camera) and important documents in there when traveling, plus some snacks on the go. The side bags are great to just put some coins in so you can quickly grab it if you need to pay toll or some drinks. Also like the passthrough cable for USB. Makes it possible to charge battery banks/cameras and all stuff in the bag whilst riding.
I dont like the waterproof cover very much. It doesn't fit on the bag very nicely, and if its not on their solid you risk it coming off from riding wind (happened once whilst riding, kind of a dangerous situation).
If I would choose again, I probably would go for the WP, as I havent used the expandable functionality much, and dislike the waterproof cover of the non-WP. Although I dont like how the side pocket zip goes all the way around. Makes it easy to lose stuff that you put inside.

Mrs & I have used SW Motech kit for years. The quick release tank bags are excellent. We have the old mini to use on a day ride, then the bigger bags for tours.
We are also long-time users of Blaze panniers on both our bikes.

Extremely helpful to see them all in one place like this, Tony, thanks. I’ve gone with the Yukon for my 1250GS.

Nice job Tony! I have the standard Pro Micro on my GS and it's a brilliant piece of gear. The Pro-Tank ring system is well thought out. I beieve this is the best system on the market. The molle system on the top lid is excellent for mounting a phone in a holder or sleeve in a vibration free mounting solution. And all of these bags look handsome on the bike!

Have got 3 motech bags in total, and am very impressed with the quality of them Tony. Great video on the range, nuff said!! Thank you👍

[AdamForeman]

These are essential for going on tours across Europe. Driving licence, passport etc, wallet, sunglasses and a 2nd pair of gloves ie waterproof/lightweight. I heartedly recommend them

[jonhay]

Nice review seeing them all together, good job.

I currently have 4 pro tank bags, micro, daypack & engage plus the Yukon WP. Absolutely love them.

Great vid as always . Love SW Motech stuff . Had the Pro GS and now got the Pro City WP and Pro Mini WP.
Brilliant kit.

[verdonrocksphotography]

nice overview, love mine specially the locking mechanism, wish they will come out with some locking mechanism for rear top bag, just hate the straps and soft luggage sells would go off the charts thank you, V!

[jjnewman]

Nice one Tony. Probably the best tank bags in the World.

They are all nice while you keep on the tarmac. A few hundred km in dirt and the release mechanism gets stuck. Mine got stuck in a offroad trip and couldn’t get the bag off the bike… Had to force it.

Vielen Dank für die Vorstellung der verschiedenen Tankrucksäcke! Grüße auf die Insel !

Nice info on the range Tony. Love the finish on the wp bags. The tank bags aren't for me (BMW 1200 RS)-gets in the way with the riding position but i'm definitley looking at the SW Motech tail bags. 👍🏼

[tonystark-ghcw]

Perfect video!!!I have the pro city…same problem with the dct😢…when I drive in the city and I need to make a tricky right turn I press the N..

[robchisholm]

Great review of their range. Do you know the differences/advantages of the Pro range over the older Evo range?

[teneretraveller]

I've not seen tank bags that big before!
Maybe too big, but interesting.
Good kit.
If they made the tank ring on a bracket or strap you could put on your seat or pannier/top box, you could clip it in more than one place..
Ride safe 👍

[Desmo]

Some nice bags there, and not bad prices either. (Do you get to keep them all?) hehehe. Love the quick snap, release features. Great review video!

Another great video. I hope you get some commission from SW. Two questions from me.
1. Are the bags secure enough when riding on gravel and fire trails?
2. Do they have a USB cable hole so the phone can be stored in the bag and connected to the USB port.
