German engineering specialists SW-Motech have launched a complete alloy luggage system that combines European manufacturing integrity and styling with their acclaimed Quick Lock EVO side carrier system, at a surprisingly affordable price for the quality.
TraX alloy cases are manufactured from 1.5mm AlMg3 grade alloy sheet, which is highly corrosion-resistant, with waterproof seams. In addition to this resilient material, fibre-reinforced hinges and corners and generous use of pierce-rivets ensure durability in the toughest conditions. The lids have a waterproof sealing profile and are fitted with tie-down points for extra carrying capacity.
Two sizes of side case are produced – the 37L model measures 49 cm x 23 cm x 37 cm and weighs 3.9 kg. Prices start at £175.00 for the alloy/black finish (£194.00 in all-black). The larger 45L version is 2” wider at 49 cm x 28 cm x 37 cm and weighs marginally more at 4.5 kg, priced at £182.50 (£199.90 in black).
