International travellers are usually spending extended time on the road and require a few creature comforts.
So where do you compromise? Do you want the lightest bike with the lightest (most expensive) luggage so you can get the farthest off the beaten track in the shortest possible time, or do you want some creature comforts and are prepared to pay the price - going a little slower and taking a little more time?
Hmm, then again maybe I'm just getting old.  |
Ahhhh my good man ! I'm not sure which luggage you prefer but one of the main advantages of soft, is that it's also WAAAAAY cheaper !
And because it's soft, doesn't mean it has to be small. My soft bags must be about 80L combined. There is no luxury lost there.
They weigh 20kg less than my old M-Mules and fit the same stuff.
