Longride Reviews 25

Brackets and Superpatriot SK bags for a Guzzi V7 Spcial. The delivery to Mexico was incredibly fast (five days between purchase and arrival). The brackets fitted perfectly; the bags look great and are vwery well manufactured with quality materials; the installation was easy, perhaps not as easy as the videos but just an hour and a half. I couldn't be more happier with the puchase and the results.

Pannier brackets for 2022 indian scout bobber. Major weld failures at several locations on both brackets for sidekick claw mounts. Observable fractures on other welds after 18 months and less than 2000 miles riding since installation. Tried to reach out to Longride via email 3 attempts with no response.
These can be fixed for $300+ when the brackets only cost $150-ish new 18 months ago.
I am sure their bags are top quality but their mounting brackets are definitely not.
UPDATE: Longride returned emails and explained the situation and has informed me new brackets have been mailed to fix this issue. While still an inconvenience, Longride is making good on their promise.

Is Longride bags a luxury brand? Maybe.
Is Longride build for a purpose? Most definitively.

The first 3 days on my motorcycle trip they endured 14 hours of rain and my clothes were still dry. The bags have been with me to the beach, in the sun, in the cold and no matter what they just do the job.

The click system of the side bags is so fast and the attachment of the dufflebag just takes a few seconds.

They are pricy but worth every penny.

Excellent customer service, and the bags are wonderful. Just tried the bags yesterday for the first time. My 16" laptop, workbag, and water bottle fit with room to spare in one, and the other had gym clothes as well as rain trousers, rain jacket, a spare shirt, spare gloves, and a cloth. Wow. And all while looking fantastic. These are the best bags ever!

High quality product and great service - thanks Aymeric.
The Mini Patriot SB bags are perfect, although I'd definitely get the Extender straps too. Saves having to pack everything very tight, even with a light load.

I didn't need the extra nuts & bolts that came with the Spacers, but thanks anyway. The Spacers fit my 2018 Triumph Thruxton 1200 R perfectly.

Even without the claw attachment, the bags are very easy to attach and remove but also secure enough to leave parked for a while. Plenty of leather straps that will confuse any thief !

Thank you Aymeric!

I'm happy to wait for my order...not an issue at all.
Also, you and your company have been great to work with!

I purchased the SK system and installed it on my Triumph T120. As I faced some issues specific to the already existing modifications on my bike I turned to Longride for support - what a great experience. Their support was quick and with sufficient technical support to make it work.
For those purchasing for the same bike: If you have shocks installed with gas cylinders, you can still make this work by using the additional parts supplied.

I purchased the Racer SK pannier in khaki from Longride to fit on my Triumph Bonneville T120. It’s great! Not the cheapest but it’s quality and will last a long time and I expect age well. The Racer is by lucky chance the perfect size for my laptop, a 14” Dell Latitude 5480, when placed in a laptop padded sleeve cover it fits snugly in the pannier and there’s no moving about. Perfect for commuting, especially with the Sidekick system which is so easy to use and feels very secure and lockable too, what’s not to like!? The little elasticated pocket is perfect for my glasses case or a small bottle. At 15L it’s not that big but it’s big enough, I can get a pair of size 11 Converse in there, so for a weekend trip I reckon I can get all my clothes and spare lightweight shoes in one, and locks, tools, spare gloves, waterproofs etc in the other. If I was going on a big long trip I’d probably go for the Patriots, but with a roll bag on the seat as well you might not need to.

For info I live in the UK so I emailed Longride directly and they sent me a personalised quote to order with. All very helpful. This ensures that VAT is only paid once at customs entry (since BREXIT) which was easy to do.

Great product and great service. I’m now ordering a second one so I have a pair.

Cheers!

I was looking for bags that didn't look out of place on my retro-looking Moto Guzzi Centennario. I looked at Longrides in late fall, but at the time the spacer for my bike was out of stock. Through the winter I examined a number of options, most of which left me indifferent. When I looked again in the spring, the spacers were in stock and I ordered them while I figured out which bags to choose. After seeing a pic of the Patriots in a FB group I was sold on the cosmetics. But I was even happier when they arrived, the quality, workmanship and material were absolutely superb. After they arrived, though, the more I considered it the more I felt like I'd be happier with the SK mounting system rather than the SB- so I inquired about returning/exchange, and a day after ordering these are on their way, and should be here end of week. They even have a US address for exchanges or returns to avoid the hassle of overseas shipping! I've had absolutely great service and communication from Aymeric, and would highly recommend these bags and Longride! I'd buy these again in a heartbeat. This is how a business should work - quality product, very fair pricing, and appreciative and communicative with their customers. I have nothing but good things to say about this whole experience!

Extremely accommodating people, fast delivery and most importantly...it is a great and easy to mount product.

Wrote to company after seeing these bags and got a fast response from Aymeric. He even sent a link to verify it was the same person.

Order was easy and delivery was very fast from Europe. I was not able to figure out how to use the straps provided for use (great idea, the YouTube poster had a bobber and therefore a different fender than mine) but was able to secure them easily to the rails from the seat rest.

The poster bought a 7 liter and a 12 liter bag and I wished I had now for the extra room. I just went for two 7 liters.

Quality is excellent. The waxed canvas and leather give the already distinct looking Scout a nice retro look. There already aren’t any other Scouts in my area but I expect to get a lot of comments on the saddlebags and will highly recommend them to everyone.

It was also a very fair price and shipping was inexpensive and was great with tracking.

If I ever get the new Chief, I will either take these bags or get new ones. Awesome look, great price and the most unique accessory I have seen on a motorcycle.

Very quick expedition, very nice saddlebag, look terrific on Triumph T100. Good communication with customer service. I recommend 100%.

These bags are the highest of quality and beautiful. They are extremely well made from the thick leather to the waxed canvas. I’ve ordered bags for both of my bikes and probably be buying more. Aymeric Was extremely helpful threw the emails. Even help me out with customizing two swing arm bags. If you need some quality bags rather then your run of the mill cheap revzi**a bags, you won’t be disappointed. Go to their Pinterest and look at some photos.

A few months later and an honest breakdown review.
I love this bag. It does everything I would expect and more. The way it mounts makes it easy for any bike. It has survived everything I have thrown at it including off road adventures, mind you my bike is named a street twin not a dirt twin. Rain, my gear stays dry. (I do live in Colorado USA so the rain doesn't last long, if you are in an area of lots of rain, get their bag liners.) Hail the bag said bring it bruh. Dirt, the bag is now dirty but my stuff isn't. Wind, drops, no worries. I have noticed no damage, degradation, or anything else. It holds all the things I need, and I am an unorganized fool that just throws things in. Has a first aid kit, bottles of water(yes multiple), battery pack, various wires, rain jacket, bike lock, and still has room for more. Now think if you are an organized person at how much it could hold. Next up a second bag, then their duffle, its time for some long distance trips.

Exquisitely crafted saddlebags! The materials and workmanship are top-notch. And they are absolutely beautiful!

I just purchased two saddlebags, supports and a large tail bag for a 2017 Triumph T120 and I couldn't be happier. They complement the bike perfectly. People have actually approached the bike just to comment on how pretty the bags are!

These bags will definitely last a long, long time and age beautifully.

Customer service at Longride has also been second to none.

I'd been in contact with Aymeric at Longride since last October when I started looking for retro saddlebags, with a plan to do some research first and buy them in the spring. Aymeric always responded within a day and answered every one of my questions thoroughly, giving advise on how best to mount the bags etc.

Once I purchased the bags, they arrived within three days very perfectly and neatly packed.

If you're looking for beautiful, quality retro saddlebags, these are them. I did my research and I honestly don't think there's anything out there that matches the quality and craftsmanship of the Longride retro bags.

And thank you, Aymeric, for the very efficient and friendly service.
