Rynox Pod Saddlebags 52L WP
The Rynox Pod Saddlebags 52L WP come from the Pod Series, Rynox's luggage system tailored for sport touring. The contoured profile and semi-rigid construction are shaped around motorcycles with upswept silencers, so the bags sit clear of the exhaust and hold their shape over long hauls.
Two removable roll-top dry bags protect the load in wet weather, and built-in EVA foam panels stop the bags from sagging when empty, which makes packing and unpacking easier at every stop.
They sit alongside the rest of the Rynox range at Store4Riders, built with the same focus on Indian roads and Indian riding conditions.

What Stormproof Means for These Dry Bags
Rynox rates the internal roll-top dry bags as stormproof rather than waterproof. In practice, that means they keep your belongings dry through rain, but they are not designed to be submerged. Roll the top closure down at least 3 folds for the best result.
The outer bags also come with muck covers. Their job is to keep the shell free of muck, dust and grime, while the detachable dry bags inside do the work of keeping your things dry.
Fitting the Pod Saddlebags to Your Motorcycle
These bags are shaped for motorcycles with an upswept silencer, though they can also be used on a bike with a horizontal silencer. In both cases, a saddlestay is worth fitting. It holds the bags away from the silencer and rear tyre and keeps them from shifting, and it helps you avoid heat damage to the fabric or straps.

FAQs
Q1: Which motorcycles are the Pod Saddlebags 52L WP designed for?
A1: They are purpose-built for motorcycles with an upswept silencer, where the triangular shape makes the most of the available space. They can also be used on motorcycles with a horizontal silencer.
Q2: Do I need a saddlestay to mount the Pod Saddlebags?
A2: Rynox recommends a saddlestay with all of its saddlebags. It keeps the bags away from the silencer and the rear tyre and helps give a zero-displacement fit. After mounting, check that the bottom of the bags is not in the way of the exhaust fumes, because incorrect placement can lead to heat burns.
Q3: Are the Pod Saddlebags waterproof?
A3: The two removable internal dry bags are rated stormproof. They use a roll-top closure and heat-sealed seams to keep contents dry through rain, but they are not submersible, so items can get wet if the dry bags go under water. For the best result, roll the top closure down at least 3 folds. The outer shell has a water-resistant coating, and the included muck covers keep it free of dust and grime.
Q4: How much can the Pod Saddlebags 52L WP carry?
A4: Each side holds 23 litres, or 46 litres combined. The bags expand to 26 litres per side, for a combined 52 litres.
Q5: Can a pillion ride with the Pod Saddlebags mounted?
A5: Yes. The bags are designed so a pillion can sit on the motorcycle, and saddlebags that are correctly mounted on a saddle stay should not interfere with the footpeg placement.
Q6: Can I carry a laptop in the Pod Saddlebags?
A6: Check the product dimensions first. If you have to carry one, put it in a padded sleeve and place it in the main compartment on the inner edge, as close as possible to the rear tyre. Rynox does not recommend riding with a laptop in a saddlebag.
Q7: What does the semi-rigid construction do?
A7: Built-in EVA foam panels reinforce the side walls, so the bags hold their shape even when empty. That means less sagging, easier packing and unpacking, and better stability at higher speeds or over rough terrain.
Q8: What is included with the Pod Saddlebags 52L WP?
A8: Two saddlebags, two removable dry bags, two footpeg mount straps, two shoulder straps and two muck covers.
Q9: Can the bags be carried off the motorcycle?
A9: Yes. An easy-grab handle helps with short hauls, and each bag converts into a shoulder bag with the included strap.
