UPDATES TO VERSION 4.0

• Now built with 100% Recycled 1680D Ballistic Nylon and eco-friendly PVC backing (helps reduce the product's ecological footprint)
• Anodized aluminum Atlas buckle closures (the same system used in avalanche safety airbag packs)
• CURV® composite harness
• Gnoblin rear mounting upgrade compatible
• Stinger 22L compatible 
• 4L Aux Pox compatible
• Two-directional Molle panels on beavertail and leg holsters
• Two settings for leg strap location
• Low-profile cam buckles

The Reckless 40 V4.0 offers a stiffer, more durable, and lighter-weight design featuring CURV® composite harness material. The stiffness of the CURV® material significantly reduces movement of the bag, adding more stability for technical off-road riding. CURV® has a unique high-impact strength that will not fatigue or crack, even when riding on very hot days or in freezing temperatures. The new design of the harness is 0.5lb / 0.25kg lighter than our previous V3.0 harness.

The Reckless 40L over the leg strap and beavertail features premium anodized aluminum Atlas buckles, commonly found on avalanche airbag backpacks. This simple yet tough buckle design is easy to open, latch, and adjust with riding gloves on. The durable aluminum construction withstands the abuses of offroad travel, and is less likely to break and need repair like plastic buckles.

Additional updates include multi-directional Molle on the beavertail and leg holsters, two settings for leg strap mounting, low-profile non-slip cam buckles, and optimized integration for the optional Gnoblin rear mounting accessory. The R40 is also now built with 100% recycled 1680D Ballistic nylon, eco-friendly PVC backing, and UV treatment.

The Reckless 40 includes three 100% waterproof roll-top dry bags that can be easily accessed throughout the day. The side dry bags have clear panels on the front, so you can tell which bag has what you need. They also have webbing handles at the bottom so that they can be pulled into the holster from the bottom.

The Stinger 8L tail bag includes stashable backpack straps in case you want to go for a day hike or run into town for errands. It also has four sewn-on connection straps, making it easily rigged as a standalone tail bag. To increase the capacity of your Reckless 40, you can replace the Stinger 8L Tail Bag with a Stinger 22L Tail Bag.

The Reckless 40's removable beavertail is a great spot to tuck a motorcycle jacket when it’s not in use or to store wet or dirty things - like a tent fly, towel, or campsite garbage. The beavertail is removable and can be rotated to run either parallel or perpendicular to the bike. On the top of the beavertail and front of the leg holsters, there is two-directional MOLLE panels so you can customize the harness with various MOLLE accessories.

The Reckless 40 includes one Cleat Kit, which can be bolted to the bike's rear fender, providing a convenient lash point for the rear connection straps. We recommend adding the optional Gnoblin rear mounting accessory for rock-solid attachment and easy on-off functionality.

In tougher, more technical terrain with repetitive, bigger hits (such as whoops in Baja, or continuous rock), the effect of the terrain on rackless bags can be punishing and cause load shifting. For riding like this, we recommend two additional leg cam straps that mount mid-way on each leg bag, to provide an added lash point for heavily loaded rackless bags. These additional straps mount to existing R40 laser-cut holes in the CURV® harness, and provide the option for supplementary stabilizing straps connecting to the sub frame or a rear rack.

• Exhaust heat damage is not covered under warranty. Please use the included heat shield and follow the installation instructions carefully.
• On dual-exhaust bikes or bikes with especially high/exposed pipes, you will need a second heat shield, available for purchase in our website's Hardware & Parts section.
• Contact between soft luggage (no matter how soft) and your bike's plastics or painted surfaces will cause cosmetic wear to the bike over time because accumulated dirt is abrasive. If that is important, try applying a clear protective film (like Allstar Performance Tape or 3M Polymask Protective Tape) to your bike.
• Different bikes and installation approaches present different wear points to the Reckless 40 harness. After installation, go for a short test ride, then check for wear points. Adjust the harness position, file down sharp rack edges, or apply a sacrificial wear patch as needed. Continue to check for high-wear points over time, but remember that the harness is made to take a lot of abuse. Some visible wear is normal, and in no way does it affect the strength or waterproofness of the luggage.

The Reckless 40L is designed to fit a wide variety of motorcycles – from small enduro-style bikes up to larger adventure bikes.
