keep the useful separation of tools and clothes using the
available lid bag.
The rubber seals have proven to be water-tight, complete
with the whoosh sound of an airtight seal when closing the
lid. I have pressure washed the panniers and there were
no leaks to be found. The rubber latches on either side of which hasn’t shown any noticeable markings. Acmemoto2
will even repair or replace components to return pannier
operation (does not include aesthetics) if there is any crash
damage within the first 12 months of purchase; something
I’ve never seen another manufacturer promise.
Overall Acmemoto2 have created a wonderful product
the panniers are functional and allowed me to open and
close the panniers without removing my gloves.
Made of “virtually indestructible” polypropylene
copolymer and individually replaceable components, I am
convinced that I will get many years of enjoyment from the
panniers. During my use I’ve done the normal kick of the
panniers when mounting the bike, taken them on and off
and moved them around on the concrete and even bumped
the gate when going down the side of the house, all of that brings thoughtful, game changing features into
an overcrowded luggage market. With their practical
features, robust construction and universal fitment, I
highly recommend you give them a try if you’re in the
market.
The Acmemoto2 panniers start from around AU$940.00
