Mosko Moto Reckless 80L (V3.0) Revolver
Adventure Motorcycle (ADVMoto)|September-October 2020
After completing a three-month, 10,000-mile off-road ride across western North America, I was convinced I’d found the ultimate luggage for hardcore adventure moto travel.

My dual-sport took a pounding day after day across rough wilderness trails in scorching heat and freezing blizzards, and through it all the Mosko Moto Reckless 80L System (V2.0) not only held up brilliantly but also proved to be the best and most versatile soft luggage I’d used in more than 40 years of riding the globe.

So, it came as a surprise when Mosko Moto announced the next-generation version of their largest rackless soft luggage system—smaller R40L (V2.0) and R10L systems are also available. If you own the R80 (V2.0), then you can hardly imagine Mosko Moto even attempting to improve upon their popular design.

With the all-new Reckless R80L (V3.0) Revolver, Andrew Bryden, Mosko Moto’s designer, has created a masterpiece. For those in the market for flexible, minimalist luggage that does not require side pannier racks, and which can cope with the most extreme off-road riding, this may be your Holy Grail. With it, Mosko has set the bar incredibly high. Given the unmistakable quality of its ultra-heavy-duty materials, its minimalistic design, and its myriad of innovative features, the Reckless 80L Revolver is the new gold standard for the rackless soft luggage market in terms of durability, adjustability, expandability, modularity and versatility.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
