High-strength aluminium alloy. Aluminium is strong for its weight and does not rust, so it copes with rain, mud and road spray.
It is designed around the BMW R 1250 GSA's pillion seat area, so it fits with basic hand tools. If you'd rather not do it yourself, any mechanic can fit it, and Machina can guide you over WhatsApp.
Yes. Solo touring in India usually means carrying luggage for days at a time. It turns the pillion seat of your BMW R 1250 GSA into a flat, secure base for bags over potholes and broken roads.
Stay within the BMW R 1250 GSA's own maximum payload from the owner's manual, and pack heavy items low and close to the bike. Check the mounting bolts after the first few hundred kilometres.
