Nelson Rigg Hurricane Dual Sport Saddlebags Review SE-4014

[@adamj1337]

Just put these on my '21 KLX 300. First bags on my first bike so I'm pretty pumped to even just get groceries!

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Super!!! Please send pics to [e-mail]

[@Jason_MotoPhotoAdventures]

Great to see new gear coming out!

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Yes Sir! We are stoked for this new gear and to see the Hurricane line grow with some more great pieces.

[@OneOldManRiding]

If I can securely attach my 11L NR Dry Bags to these, you may see them in August. Trying to keep the weight down on the 790. - Frank

[@WOODZMAN]

These are great! The Rigg Geat Trails End dual sport saddle bags are very nice and this is a nice improvement with them being waterproof!

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Different needs for different riders. Having abused them this past year, they work really well.

[@sausagesandwichSA]

Ive been using the Rg020 for 7 years and have been brilliant. The specs would suggest they are similar sized but in the video the new se4014 look bigger. Any idea which one would fit more inside ?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your inquiry. The RG-020 Trails End saddlebags do look smaller on the bike than the SE-4014 Hurricane saddlebags but when expanded fully, they do hold nearly the same amount of gear. The Hurricane bags hold the gear vertically and closer to the bike where as the Trails End when expanded hold the gear further out and away from the bike making the load much wider. The Hurricane bags also allow the addition of RiggPak's to the top and bottom increasing the storage capacity 5L at a time. Pretty neat set-up.

[@JustLaineADV]

Would the 10L dry bags (SE-4010) work the same as the 5L Riggpak and n top of these saddle bags?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your inquiry. Sorry for the delayed response. We were out in VA at the BMW MOA 50th Anniversary Rally. Technically the SE-4010 could attache to the top of these bags via the straps top straps. However, the SE-4010 is longer than the top of these saddlebags and might interfere with you seating position on the bike. It all depends on how much room you have between your butt and the saddlebags. If you have any further questions, call the office and Kyle can walk you through it.

[@kevinh8338]

Hey Kyle waiting for these (currently on back order). Priced nicely, the ‘big 3’ GL, WM and MM) have gone nuts on pricing (and all manufactured oversees). Nelson Rigg is doing their homework, without over-engineering and extra weight. Straps are brilliant. (And thanks for the coupon! - KevinVG)

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thanks for watching Kevin! They are NEW and are not really on "backorder" but we did not want to take "pre-orders" until they are here in March. Double edged sword. If you click the link in the video you can be notified when they arrive! Heck... click here: www.nelsonrigg.com/motorcycle-luggage/dry-bags/se-4014-hurricane-dual-sport-saddlebags-detail then the blue box. We will email you when they are available. Thanks again for your support. - Kyle and the Nelson Rigg Team

[@JasonMoon111]

I bought these and they are very unique and we'll made. 100% waterproof, unlike mosko or giant loop products. I also got wp hurricane tail bag, wp hurricane tank bag. Also that rigg gear 10litre roll bag for a tent, mattress and sleeping bag (2,5kg/5,5lb). Also, I mounted two 5litre crashbar bags under the saddlebags for all of the heavy gear, if needed. For example 1 gallon fuel/water bladder in the opposite side of the muffler to balance it's weight and Tools and cooking hardware to other side. You can barely feel the weight of the gear, because weight is now so down low. What a difference compared to my old adv-bike with aluminium cases. Those empty cases (with mounts) weights the same than all of my current rigg gear luggage with full gear. For a week.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your feedback Jason. Soft luggage is the way to go when looking to pair back a bit. Same amount of gear can be taken at a fraction of the weight and girth. Thanks for choosing Nelson Rigg, we appreciate you.

[@useless274]

it looks like a great product and remarkable that these are just slightly more expensive than the tail bags, albeit it seems like slightly less convenient access. wish the video included some of the "routine access" example.. like, do i need to faff with every strap to get them open and grab my snack real quick? also love the expandable rigg-pack features

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and for your suggestion. We will do an out in the wild video here shortly that will show how we use the bags, what we pack where and how we access it. Stay tuned!

[@royarnab22]

Kyle I'm using the Hurricane 40L duffle bag and one feedback from my experience is the PVC material is not thick enough to prevent punctures/cuts from roadside gravels/stones/concretes. Either a more durable material should be used or an extra layer of reinforcement (just like the bottom of the bags) should be given in the damage prone areas. I'm using heavy duty waterproof plumbing tapes and duct tapes to reinforce some parts. For this saddlebags , the side walls in case of a fall will get punctured in case of a fall on hard surface. Love the so well thought out mounting mechanism. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your comment and for your suggestions. Well... concrete tears up metal bags too ;). J/K ... We will take into consideration "thicker materials" or reinforced layers but that in most cases just leads to MORE WEIGHT which we tried to stay away from... With a single side replacement (in the case of a gnarly crash) at just about $100 we thought it best to make them durable and light as possible. We have done some extensive crash testing and have found them to be pretty darn tough. We will continue to refine them as we go though... THANK YOU for your suggestions!

[@royarnab22]

@@Nelsonriggusa Thanks for the quick response. I love the tail bag as it holds its boxy shape. Very few actually does that. Perfect for carrying laptop. And yes the bag is very very light weight. Here in India now almost whole hurricane range is available and I agree bang for the buck even after import taxes. How about an (may be optional) inner bag for the saddle bags so that we can take our stuffs to the hotel without dismounting the bags :)

[@Nelsonriggusa]

The 50L Hurricane Bags do come with a liner... but this 14L do not. GREAT suggestion! It has been added to the improvement / suggestion list. Thank you for your support.

[@beastbowen4492]

Just ordered these for my KLR, with the Klrs wide seat will these fit without modifications?

[@beastbowen4492]

Already received my hurricane tank bag and 40L duffel and love them both! Ready for big trips this summer!

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, these saddlebags will fit your KLR perfectly. We have not needed longer straps in any of our KLR installations, but we do have extension straps available if you do end up needing them. Thank you for your support.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

are these the same 24oz material weight as the dry bag?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Yes, all of the Hurricane line of products utilize the same materials.

[@Ripper41]

Order placed! These appear to be a lot nicer than the Tusk ones I was looking at.

[@exparrot9074]

Is a rear rack necessary for these to be properly secured?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

No rack at all is needed for these to work. They come with a rear fender clip and all the straps necessary for a rackless set-up.

[@totalglitch]

Can these be used with a rack?

[@kdonoghue]

Any issues on a KTM 500 EXC on their exhaust side with heat from the pipe? Does it come with a barrier of some sort?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

We recommend the use of a Heat Shield on the exhaust. That plus the back pad should be perfect. www.nelsonrigg.com/motorcycle-luggage/adventure/rg-hs-exhaust-heat-shield-detail on

[@jamesgaffney7591]

@@Nelsonriggusa would this heat protector being metal on metal score the exhaust? that metal fastener could put some nice scratches into the exhaust. What is your thoughts?

[@zerobucks9]

I have tried 4 different types of bags for my Tenere 700. I go on months long trip, but also use my bike for daily rider and grocery getter. The only system that met my needs for ease of use, versatility and storage, was the mosko moto rackless. My buddy uses it, WAY too expensive for me. Why cant anyone make a budget minded set up that uses a rackless cradle system like that? I would buy 4 - 6 dry bags to prepack, and then keep the cradle on my bike. You could have a dry bag rolled up inside your tank bag if you find an item you want on a trip. Unroll, stuff and BAM! you GTG. I would pay 60-80 for a cradle like that, 50-75 for bags. lets go Nelson Rigg! make this happen.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Send kyle a message to discuss... [e-mail]

[@DA-pb5yl]

If I have luggage racks, can I still use these?

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Great Question! Yes, but with a hint of modification. You will need our 1.5" Saddlebags Extensions which will extend the throw over strap length up to 6" for the perfect fit. You can find them here: www.nelsonrigg.com/support/accessories/miscellaneous/saddlebag-extension-strap-1-5-detail NOTE: they are sold each, so please order TWO. We have recently mounted these to the Harley Pan America with racks and it was AMAZING. Enjoy!

[@fuglbird]

Next time you may want to show us the exhaust side too.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

It's exactly the same, but we get the reason for your inquiry. We will shoot another one that has the exhaust side in it. Thanks for watching!

@@Nelsonriggusa I have these being delivered today actually. This weekend I am planning to see how much of my camping gear will need to be trimmed to use them with my KTM 790 Adventure R I am hoping to avoid adding racks to. I will be sure to let Kyle know how well they work out for a Hurricane user. Painful cuts from the kit will need to be made for sure. I prefer to see what I can so with these before either going to a Chinese bag set, or paying the amounts asked by the other name brands. I have become used to the quality and value of Nelson Riff bags. - Frank

[@Nelsonriggusa]

@@OneOldManRiding This is fantastic. We look forward to learning your outcome. Please note that we have added the 2 straps on top and on the bottom of the saddlebags to hold things like our RiggPak OR... camp chairs, tri-pods, tent poles etc... that do not fit inside the saddlebags. Good luck in your tetris like project.

[@JoBrownFlow]

Wow... These are cheap and bad carbon copies of the Enduristan Blizzards. The shape is exact, the strap positions are exact, the mounting of the added storage is exact... What is different is the cheaper material, an over the saddle hook and loop system that works well when its new but once it get dusty is useless (hence most companies stop using it), a bunch of extra "compression" straps that don't serve much purpose other then extra straps, bunch of extra buckles.... Goof thing you did not make the interior yellow for ease of finding your stuff inside. The crash bar tail bags are also a copy and mix of the Enduristan Fender bags and XS Base Packs....

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for sharing your opinion Jonathan. We have actually based these off of our very popular 8 year old Dual Sport Saddlebags. When we launched our Hurricane Line of Large ADV luggage last year, we have had many of our customers ask for a smaller version, and that is what we have done. The side of a dirt bike / enduro bike only has so much real estate and the shape is pretty much dictated by that area we have to work with. Regarding the other features and benefits, we have made several iterations of the bag and this is what we have found to be most useful. Thanks for taking the time to comment. - NR

[@cky3396]

I have Enduristan Blizzards and these new Hurricane bags. I like the Nelson Rigg offering better. Is a Mercedes a carbon copy of BMW because it has 4 wheels? plz

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy!

[@MickStevens-xw1oq]

Lazy design by the Nelson Rigg team. Blatant ripoff of the shape and functionality of the Enduristan Blizzard. You can do better than copy others designs.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thanks for taking the time to comment Mick. Our design is based off our Dual Sport Saddlebags which have been in the line-up for years. No other set of bags mounts like ours. Thanks for watching. - Nelson Rigg

[@MickStevens-xw1oq]

@@Nelsonriggusa Yep big fan of the Dual sport bags, been using them for a long time on my 500EXC. However I stand by my comment, taking a competitors bag design and changing the mounts and calling it your design is lazy. If I wanted a cheap copy of a competitors product there's plenty on Amazon. Long term fan, hopefully the designers snap out of it and come up with something unique and innovative next time.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Thanks for your comment Mick and for sharing your feelings. We hear you sound and clear. Our Dual Sport Saddlebag customers have been asking for a waterproof set up for a long time... and after the ADV version of the Hurricane Saddlebags launched last year the requests intensified. This Waterproof Hurricane version is modeled after our already existing Trails End Dual Sport Saddlebag we have been selling for 8 Years! Yes, we looked at several bags in the marketplace and we wanted to make them Lighter, Stronger, Easier to Mount, more Versatile AND... we gave them a Lifetime Warranty! Several of our "technologies" from our other bags have been integrated with these bags. Our internal stiffeners which allow the bags to hold their shape even when empty, the Air Purge Valve, the ability to compress flat agains the bike. Anyhow... Not here to argue. We appreciate you and your feelings. We do hope that you continue to support our brand as we continue to march into the future making the best soft luggage we can. Sincerely, Kyle & the Nelson Rigg Team

[@cky3396]

I get a sense the "lazy" design team is going to make Nelson Rigg a decent amount of coin on these bags. I have Blizzard and Hurricane bags - I happen to like the different approach Nelson Rigg took for the Hurricanes (removable/replaceable inner fender protectors! compression straps. bags can be detached from one another, air valve). Willing to bet you already own many, many products that have "stolen" features and functionality from other companies.
