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 Further details at www.acmemoto2.com Marcus Wiltshire TRAVERSE 121
