Hey,

does anyone know if the OEM Triumph panniers for the Rocket 3 R/Storm R have an official speed limit?
Can’t find anything in the manual and wondering if Triumph recommends a max speed with them fitted.
I’ve run with them loaded at 180 km/h and everything seemed fine.

Sorry if this was already discussed, could not find it...

thx

i would guess legal speed limit, all bets off beyond that. ensure they are correctly fitted and locked, from what i’ve read some have come off at speed/not properly locked. they are useful but not the great design IMO.

Mine have seen 130 MPH / 210 KPH, but I’m not sure what the official rating is.
