Rok Straps Review & How-To | Product Review | Motorcyclenews.com

[@Lessdeth14]

Nice, fastened and secure, with two great flaps that aren't secured and could very easily make it into the rear wheel, much like they did to a friend of mine who subsequently crashed and died. Make sure to secure EVERY flap when you're fastening your luggage like this. It may save your life.

[@philmcclenaghan7056]

All you need to do is tie the loose end into a bowl or knot. They obviously can't do that when they sell it as they don't know how much length you need. It's not hard.

[@newfjuice6691]

@@philmcclenaghan7056 Common sense clearly isn't that common unfortunately lol

[@MrTaliz]

I'm just using regular cheap straps around my weather protected 80l bag, attached through the passenger handles on my ER6. Has worked fine for years.

[@BJMoorhouse]

I have some and they're amazingly easy to use. Actually make it look quite difficult and unsafe in this video, definitely worth spending some pennies on. I use one to strap a heavy rucksack to the back seat for my commute, never budges.

[@BJMoorhouse]

Nah, it doesn't. Remember that the footpegs move with the seat, not the wheel. Also, one of the beauties of this strap is the elastic. Where normal straps do loosen through vibrations, this absorbs them in the elastic... allowing it to move very slightly and pulling it back. Trust me, they're ace - I use them daily :)

[@NaudanX]

rOK straps are awesome. I would recommend to everyone.

[@BJMoorhouse]

How would the weight of the rider loosen the straps? Agree it's a bad review though; he didn't tuck the loose ends into the elastic, and trust me (I know from experience), not doing so will bring you to a skidding halt with strap around your back wheel! The straps are amazing though :)

[@BrewCityRider]

What do you do with the loose ends? You cant just leave them flapping around in the wind or they could get caught in the wheel or rub paint off or something.

[@mattybt400]

Jesus - do you need someone to tell you everything?

[@montanawhite5699]

Maybe stick to walking. Less to think about.

[@The77Game]

Yes i see a problem there. When i use something similar on my trailer i tie the loose ends up but somehow they work themselves loose again. Not something i wan't happening on a motorcycle. The web dominators Martin suggested actually look like they would be useful.

[@johnjacob688]

@@The77Game You should try different knots. I never have a problem with the loose ends on any of my straps, on a trailer or on the bike.

[@shiftyshamsk]

Get yourself an Oxford T30 dry stash and a couple of sets of these. Job done.

[@richardsimpson3792]

My experience is they work loose in bumpy conditions unless you tie them.

[@DarkAristocrat]

I love these straps. I have the medium and large sizes. So useful

[@steher]

Is that Edward Norton? One more thing, when the rear wheel shock compresses, will he lose that bag?

[@kiwikobber1718]

I think it's attached to the frame not the swingarm

[@paulbunyun-xi9by]

whats in the bag?

[@duwaynegoddard112]

Awesome video! i have that exact bike and need to do a 2 day trip on my bike and looking for a cheap and easy solution to carry my luggage without having to buy saddle bags. can you please tell me what size or model number straps you used?

[@shiftyshamsk]

No good if your carrying a birthday cake...

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

BUNGE NET

[@rockyp3917]

Get a scooter

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

I guess there's no built in provision for dealing with all that extra strap flapping about?

[@jrmcosta]

What is the length of those straps on the video? There are 2 models: 1 Meter, and 1,5 meters...

[@waltermh111]

With the amount of strap left over, I assume they are 1.5m

[@JLUnlimited]

The straps would loosen up because the straps would move around from the foot pegs to the bag around the to the back .. The weight of the rider would cause the bag to bounce and shift around if you are in a corner . .

[@kiwikobber1718]

I think it's attached to the frame not the swingarm

[@TheFelanoma]

Yes.

[@redrider736]

Have them, GREAT product !!

[@Majorvideonut2]

The problem I see is that rear wheel is going to move when the uneven ground is encountered.

[@brianlarkin5246]

But the footpeg is not attached to the swingarm! So no worries 👍

[@willbrum9180]

Nice bit of free kit if i give it a plug? New model test fantastic great responsive engine and handling then a year on the mk2 comes out they have sorted the fuelling ho hum and uprated the crap suspension. Are Journos salesman we know how the kissed Murdochs backside.

[@Anaszi]

Ah yes, of course.

[@henkdevries]

Z800?

[@RH-vd3yu]

Instead of showing the bike, show the exact details of where you mount it. Godddd damn it

[@backandforthupanddow]

Can’t see what you’re doing with the straps.

[@macsporran]

CLOse up shots of attaching the straps to the various points on the bike would have been better rather than a single shot - or perhaps this was a shoe string budget

[@richard1717]

Hmmm lets investigate rok prices now after seeing that...

[@TheMrB]

You video there, I mean there!@

[@StephenElliott-z4k]

Thanks, as clear as mud, could have had the camera closer up and on opposite side when he was attaching and showed a bit slower. Usually the Americans do videos like that. Maybe try again lads . Tks 4/10 🇬🇧

[@richardbrooks4549]

Americans vote for Donald Trump. Not sure you can claim any intellectual superiority Steve 😂

[@primomotorcycles3996]

no homo ..... but what kind of pants are those? they look like riding pants so that's why I'm asking. I need some

[@markterstege3894]

there is a luggage hook behind the rear footpeg, you mist it

[@JLUnlimited]

I need to get another bike I am so used to racing and testing product for the race track . . LOL . . Now I sound like a noob . . LOL . .

[@Anaszi]

What, what? Won't this just toss the bag off when the springs compress?

[@arranbell22]

They still rub the plastic and will ruin the pain!!!??? Get some proper soft luggage

[@dh-flies]

Simple Pimple...

[@baccas66]

Been using for ages. Great product. Bodywork friendly.

[@JLUnlimited]

I don't think that is a good review, for this fact alone. . . He did not show how the weight of the rider will loosen up the straps. And some action shots would be good and useful .. I think they should look at another host for testing . . ME ! !

[@mekawasp]

Is this a joke?

[@JimmySlacksack]

make sure everyone knows the brand of your duffel bag why dont you.
