Too much weight at the back makes the front light and nervous. You feel it immediately in tight hairpins. If you distribute the weight wisely, you ride more calmly and relaxed.
Luggage in balance
- Heavy items low and forward: Heavy things go in the tank bag or panniers, not the top box.
- Pack symmetrically: Keep the left and right sides as even as possible.
- Adjust the suspension: Set preload and tyre pressure for the load.
Your bike will thank you in the hairpins. In the Adventure Blueprint we check your setup directly on your packed bike.
