Important Note - These pannier racks will fit directly to the Adventure Sports model.  If you have a standard Africa Twin (non-Adventure Sports), you will need the Honda OEM Rear Carrier Kit (#08L88-MKS-E00ZA) to be able to install the BUMOT pannier rack.

The Defender EVO series of luggage from BUMOT builds on their reputation for durability and quality and is designed to be the best adventure-grade luggage available .  Starting with 2mm aluminum, BUMOT Defender EVO panniers are made with strengthening flanges at the opening and a fully welded case floor to provide an incredibly strong structure.  The cases are powdercoated inside and out in your choice of gray or black, or a new uncoated bare aluminum finish option available (by special order).  The EVO cases are equipped with stainless steel latches with keyed locks (included), zinc passivated friction hinges, and heavy duty weatherstripping for waterproofness.  Additional features of the Defender EVO system include:

• Stainless steel quick release mechanism that allows the case to be removed or installed on the rack in seconds
  
• Low profile polyamide nylon lid strap brackets integrated into the corner guards for a more streamlined look with no loss of functionality
• Beveled corners to visually minimize the size of the cases on the bike
• A new embossed outer panel with the BUMOT logo
