The motorcycle trunk is the gospel of the Iron Knight, because it can solve your troubles, whether it is a helmet, raincoat, money-making tools, etc., can be put in one by one, and even after shopping spree, your spoils can be easily carried away. However, on the Internet, we often see some dangerous situations where the tail box is flying off, and many people say that the size of the tail box will affect the stability of driving.

Considerations for choosing a tail box

1. Capacity

The function of the tail box is to put things, and it is correct to buy big and big. But in fact, everyone’s needs are different.

Thinking about your needs carefully is better than buying big. more important. For example, if you are a knight purely for transportation, you only need to put the helmet and raincoat, so you only need to buy a smaller tail box; but if it is for work, of course, the larger the capacity, the better, then a large aluminum alloy box may be the best Good choice.

2. Weight

The weight of the tail box varies from size to material, some are made of plastic, some are made of aluminum alloy, and the weight can vary greatly depending on the load. Many people intuitively think that a metal tail box must be better, but in fact, high-quality engineering plastics have inherent advantages such as lightness, waterproof, easy to make, and low cost; for small-horsepower motorcycles, it can avoid the center of gravity shifting and affect driving stability. In addition, the price is affordable, like Kappa's K43, you can buy the tail box with the bottom plate for only 1,000 yuan, which is absolutely economical.

While considering the weight of the trunk, it is also necessary to choose a suitable bracket. If you choose a weak bracket, the entire trunk may fall to the road at any time, which will not only cause property loss, but also cause serious traffic accidents. Be careful to avoid it.

The hardness of the tail box is often what you pay for, but if it is for work, sometimes when it is used in rainy days, the tail box is stronger and will not be easily damaged by the sun and rain, and even Into the water. Coupled with the shortage of parking spaces for motorcycles in Hong Kong, a large trunk can easily be damaged when someone moves the motorcycle. Therefore, no matter what capacity of the tail box you buy, you must pay attention to its firmness.

After all, there are various appearances of motorcycles, and it is reasonable to choose a tail box that matches your own motorcycle. The most popular in recent years should be the metal tail box. In addition to the tough feeling, the metal texture and appearance make people love it.

5. MONOLOCK and MONOKEY

The most frightening thing about the tail box is that its lock is not stable. Whether it is the lock of the tail box or the lock connected to the bottom plate, as long as there is a problem with any one of them, it will be a very tragic end.

The most reliable systems on the market should be MONOLOCK and MONOKEY, which are general patents of KAPPA and GIVI.
