SW-Mototech has unveiled the PEAX at EICMA in Milan as a soft-luggage system that does away with a permanent rack. It is aimed at adventure motorcycles and trips that may move from paved roads onto trails, while the strap-mounted setup can be removed when the additional carrying space is no longer needed.

The foundation is a central plate moulded from SRPP, or self-reinforced polypropylene, with impact resistance as one of its stated properties. Side plates attach to it and carry pre-fitted holsters made from Hypalon and ballistic nylon. Each side accepts a waterproof 20-litre PEAX roll-top bag, with straps securing the complete arrangement to the motorcycle.

A version of the centre plate has a cutout for motorcycles whose fuel filler sits at the rear. Capacity can be increased with Beaver Tail top bags offered in 10- and 25-litre sizes. That creates three overall luggage layouts: 40, 50 or 65 litres.

The listed prices are €570 for the 40-litre configuration, €670 for the 50-litre version and €700 for the 65-litre setup. The fuel-filler-cutout version carries the same price as its equivalent configuration, although it was out of stock when the report was written. SW-Mototech plans to add a 1-litre tank bag and an 8-litre tail bag in spring 2027. The Lone Rider ADVBags system and Kriega OS-Base range are cited as comparable options for buyers considering the PEAX.
