NEWS always ahead
LS2, a brand long known for helmets and rider gear, is making a notable push into motorcycle luggage with the launch of its new Move Ahead soft luggage range— a collection designed to deliver rugged, waterproof storage without the premium price tag traditionally associated with touring bags. The series includes a variety of luggage options aimed at both weekend riders and long‐distance travellers, combining functional design with materials built to stand up to the elements.
At the heart of the lineup is the LS2 Move Ahead Waterproof Motorcycle Backpack, a 20‐litre pack that merges everyday practicality with ride‐ready features. Fully waterproof with IPX5‐rated construction, this backpack includes a padded laptop compartment for modern commuters and adventure riders alike, as well as a fold‐out helmet holder, chest strap and removable waist belt to keep it secure on the move.
For riders who want modular storage that adapts to different mounting points, the LS2 Move Ahead Waterproof Tail Bag offers around 10 L of space and can transform from a tail bag to a tank bag or even a backpack thanks to its versatile strap system. Built with welded seams, a robust aluminium buckle and a bright interior for easy visibility, it’ s aimed at those who value adaptability on both short rides and extended trips.
Smaller yet equally weather‐resistant options round out the range. The LS2 Move Ahead Waterproof Roll Bag is a compact 3 L pack that can attach to panniers, racks or handlebars— or be used as an internal organiser inside larger luggage— while the LS2 Move Ahead Waterproof Leg Bag is a lightweight 1.7 L solution for essentials riders want easy access to without the bulk.
All pieces in the Move Ahead range are constructed from high‐tenacity 500D tarpaulin with PVC coatings both inside and out, ensuring IPX5 water resistance through welded seams and roll‐top closures. Duraflex ® fastening components and UV‐resistant fabrics further strengthen their durability, while universal strap systems mean they can be fitted to a wide variety of motorcycles— from naked bikes to touring rigs— without the need for dedicated pannier racks.
The launch of the Move Ahead collection marks a strategic broadening of LS2’ s product portfolio into soft luggage, offering riders a cost‐conscious yet functional alternative to existing luggage solutions. By covering needs from minimalist storage to more substantial capacity, LS2’ s entry into this space acknowledges a growing demand for flexible, reliable gear that performs as well on daily commutes as it does on longer journeys.
