Gen3 Panniers / saddlebags tested for high speeds
Hi,
Where I live, roads are long, straight, boring, and mostly empty, so cruising at 160–200 km/h between cities is pretty normal.
I’m looking for panniers or saddlebags that are actually tested for sustained high-speed riding. Unfortunately, Hepco & Becker rates its luggage for a maximum of 130 km/h. I can’t tell whether that’s just a liability disclaimer or an actual limitation.
Has anyone tested panniers or saddlebags at 160-200 km/h for extended periods? I’m particularly interested in how well they hold up and whether the mounting system stays secure at those speeds.
Any real-world experience would be appreciated!
