Turkana Gear’s new luggage plates are designed to maximize both strength and flexibility.

The glass-filled reinforced nylon 6 material, together with the ribbed design, gives these plates optimal strength where they need it most. But what sets these plates apart is their ingenious ribbed design, which not only saves on unnecessary weight but also grants the plate additional flexibility without compromising on strength.

Advantages of a ribbed profile design

Compared to traditional flat plate designs, our ribbed approach offers several key advantages:

1. Enhanced Strength: Unlike flat plates, the ribbed design strategically reinforces critical areas, ensuring superior durability and structural integrity.
2. Weight Savings: The cleverly integrated cutouts reduce excess weight, enhancing overall performance and making your motorcycle ride even more efficient.
3. Flexibility: While maintaining exceptional strength, our ribbed design also provides an extra layer of flexibility. This means the plate can adapt to various luggage types and road conditions with ease.
4. The combination of these benefits is what makes Turkana Gear's plates both incredibly tough, durable and remarkably versatile. Experience the future of motorcycle luggage support with our cutting-edge plates
