Storage concept for solo travellers
With the TMACS quick-release mounting system, Touratech opens up completely new possibilities for attaching soft luggage to motorcycles. TMACS marks a real technological leap forward and meets the highest standards of ease of use, safety and off-road capability. Initially, selected tank bag models will be equipped with the innovative system.
Centralising the masses – that's the key when it comes to agile yet stable handling on a motorcycle. Admittedly, a fully loaded adventure bike is not exactly the ideal example of this rule. But even motorcycle travellers can do a lot to achieve a favourable centre of gravity. Especially when travelling solo. For example, by using the Touratech luggage rack instead of a pillion seat for the BMW R 1300 GS.
Centrally located storage for heavy luggage
Developed on the basis of extensive practical testing, this component replaces the original pillion seat and creates an optimally positioned, central mount for luggage. Thanks to its precise design, the seat area is covered without any gaps. This gives the rear of the R 1300 GS a tidy appearance and a sporty, striking adventure look. At the same time, the luggage area's proximity to the rider contributes to a favourable centre of gravity, thereby supporting stable, neutral handling – especially when heavily loaded on long journeys or off-road.

Secure installation by using the standard seat lock
The structure consists of a robust plastic base plate and a four-millimetre-thick aluminium luggage plate mounted on top of it with an elegant black anodised surface. Numerous lashing points allow flexible and secure attachment of bags, rack packs or soft luggage of various sizes. Installation is just as easy as with the original BMW pillion seat and uses the standard seat lock, making the luggage plate lockable and thus reliably secured against theft.
The Touratech luggage rack is specifically designed for riders who mainly use their BMW R 1300 GS solo and value a highly durable, sophisticated and seamlessly integrated transport concept.
Technical specifications:
The base plate is made of fibre-reinforced, black-coated plastic with an embossed Touratech logo, while the luggage plate is made of 4 mm thick, black anodised aluminium. The overall dimensions are 35.5 × 31 cm, with a loading area measuring 29 × 31 cm. It weighs around 1.2 kilograms.
