Many People Say We Went Too Far Torture Testing Our Aluminum Panniers The 2nd Time

Just the thumbnail of the video alone will support that claim. In our defence we really wanted to destroy the hard cases. Here’s how it went down.

Test #1 was done and posted a few weeks ago. We had fun as we explored various ways to test (and damage) the panniers, fairly successfully to be frank, but after some extreme measures only. Some of the tests from the first attempt aren’t scenarios you’ll encounter as a rider. Here it is anyway: 1st Test

Onto the next one! We decided to keep testing the panniers on our 2nd heaviest bike, a Suzuki Vstrom 800DE. The heaviest would be the 1300GS, but due to the boxer engine we would not be able to put nearly as much impact on the pannier.

Blog posts can be interesting to some folks, but most want to see proof. No need to carry on with words and sentences. Grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show below.
