Urban Tank Bag
$110.00
Icon’s main focus isn’t in the luggage department, but it’d be hard to tell judging by the Urban tank bag. Some features—or lack thereof—give it away though; the water resistant 420 Denier nylon, while plenty strong in its own right, feels outmatched when put next to the others in this company. The lack of a rain cover is also surprising, as is the lack of straps for non-metal gas tanks, just magnets. There are some redeeming qualities, however. Like the Squad II backpack, the tank bag is a versatile piece; it doubles as a helmet carrier and backpack when off the bike. On the bike the main storage area is deceivingly spacious, and the clear map pocket is always welcome.

Primer Tank Bag
$50.00
When only carrying the essentials, why take along a huge bag? The diminutive Primer tank bag secures with magnets (sorry plastic tank owners) and has just enough room for a wallet, keys, phone and a sack lunch. It is expandable, however, and even has a few internal pockets. Once at the destination, attach the backpack straps and your belongings can come along with you. Nice.

Hammerhead Tank Bag
$69.99
Just the basics. That’s all the Hammerhead has space for. But the magnets underneath have a strong grip on the tank (there are also strap provisions for plastic tanks, though the straps themselves aren’t included). Inside, the inner compartment has about enough space for lunch and a spare shirt. Two pockets on the inner panel are ideal for change or a wallet. Outside, two clear pockets have just enough room for a cell phone and GPS device. The bag is water and wind resistant, but there’s still a hidden rain cover inside.

CL300 Mini Magnetic Tank Bag
$94.49
The name may say mini, but don’t let that fool you. The CL300 holds over eight liters with additional side pockets to hold accessories. An inner organizer conveniently stores pens, wallets, keys and the like. The map pocket is detachable, while grommets and channels accommodate power cords or ear bud wires in or out of the bag. A convenient shoulder strap makes it easy to take your things with you once off the bike. While the magnets are strong with this mount, placement can be tricky as the natural lines of the gas tank may limit the magnet’s contact area, as seen with our Triumph Daytona 675.
