Turkana Hippohips Hybrid Strap Mount Kit

Why we will always offer over-the-seat motorbike saddlebags

Simplicity Works: Our over-the-seat soft luggage pannier mount system stands out for its effective, straightforward design. Its simplicity is a favourite among seasoned offroad overlanders, adventure travelers, and hardcore adv-enduro riders who prioritise lightweight luggage over traditional aluminium panniers.

The load-carrying cross-over straps redefine weight and load distribution. Keeping the total width of your bike to a minimum, with compression, these straps maintain centralised weight, preventing sagging on the outside and eliminating swaying into the rear wheel.

Weight Matters: With a mere 4kg total weight with the over-the-seat strap, it’s gentle on motorcycle subframes and pannier racks, adhering to the timeless “keep it simple stupid” philosophy that many riders cherish for their soft motorbike baggage.

On-the-Go Reliability: Despite its featherweight construction, HippoHips™ remains remarkably durable—a true testament to the marriage of lightweight and bulletproof functionality. The simple design promotes easy repairs on the go, keeping your journey hassle-free.

Comfort for all riders: For weekend riders or daily commuters, the HippoHips™ soft luggage is comfortable and versatile.

With the wide over-the-seat support strap, secured by hook & loop fasteners, the bags secured to your motorcycle without sacrificing a comfortable pillion ride. Depending on your bike’s specifications, this strap can also be installed beneath the seat.
