OXFORD NOMAD: MODULAR LIGHTWEIGHT LUGGAGE

August 2025

What’s a motorcycle trip without luggage? Painful, is probably the truth, which is a word I'd also use to describe some soft luggage I’ve used on motorcycles over the years.

OXFORD NOMAD: MODULAR LIGHTWEIGHT LUGGAGE

From awkward-fitting systems to wayward loads, I've had the lot, with a low point being one such product that set on fire in the Swiss Alps because the thoughtless design meant it mounted too close to the exhaust can of my bike.

The point is, there are many different luggage systems out there, but some are much better than others. I'll admit, having never used Oxford’s Nomad range before this test, I was cautious to get too excited about it from the outset, but having quickly and easily mounted the provided adventure harness — which pulls tight to a bike’s mounting points, such as foot hangers, a subframe or looping under a seat - the fitment of luggage to it could not have been easier.
