THESE PANIERS ARE TOUGH
25 March 2008 - Bykebitz

Made of aluminium, they are light and secure

Specialist aluminium fabricators Alpos have moved into the motorcycle market with a range of superbly manufactured polished aluminium luggage cases at an amazing price.
Available exclusively from Bykebitz Accessories, Alpos are a Slovenian company specialising in the manufacture of robust aluminium cases for industrial and commercial use, so it was a natural progression to use their expertise in bringing a top quality, value for money product to the motorcycle market. Bykebitz have high expectations for the range of 32, 36 and 41 litre cases, which retail for half the price of leading European brands* – this is full metal luggage at plastic prices!

Alpos selected 1mm sheet aluminium with sectional aluminium components to construct their cases, which allows them to be both lightweight and robust. Their top-hinged lids open from the rear edge and close against a rubber seal to keep out water, dust and other elements, while the Alpos cases themselves are resistant against corrosion, weather conditions and temperatures. Owners can fit additional locks to enable greater security of valuables.

With strong, synthetic covered safety spring handles, Alpos cases simplify transport, make carrying easy and give a robust, go-anywhere appearance to any bike. Model specific mounting frames are available from Bykebitz, however Alpos adaptor kits may also be purchased, priced at £32.99 per side, which enable the DIY-user to adapt the boxes to most existing rack systems.

The 36-litre cases measure 365 x 490 x 270mm (H x L x D) and weigh in at a modest 3.4kg, selling for £150.00 (Pair) including VAT.

For those requiring extra capacity a pair of 41-litre cases cost only £170 and locks to suit the Alpos Alu Boxes are just £17.99 per pair.
