New for 2022: Updated and upgraded Aluminium Mounting Plate refined from the help and feedback of our customers.

• Thicker Aluminum plate for added durability: 33% thicker, more than twice as strong!
• Improved shape and finish process: smooth edges and larger radius corners.

Streamlined, weight-efficient and minimalist, the Scout 25 pannier V2.0 is an entirely unique take on quick-release luggage. We designed it for weight and space-conscious riders who want the benefits of a hard-backed frame pannier - such as easy on/off mounting and a stable connection to the bike - without the extra pounds. The Scout weighs and costs about the same as an old-school saddlebag, with all the advantages of modern soft luggage.

Scout panniers will mount seamlessly on most OEM and aftermarket pannier rack systems. If you don't already have racks, we recommend Outback Motortek Standard Frame pannier racks, available in the Racks & Hardware section of our website.

For carrying tools and fluids, expanding capacity, or adding a quick-stash spot for snacks and tubes, we offer a separate MOLLE Panel attachment kit that gets sandwiched between the removable drybag and the mounting frame. This is a great place to store your water and extra fuel, or stash a MOLLE-compatible multi-tool, a fixed blade knife, a hatchet, or a spade.

CB500X Customers: We have encountered a few unfortunate heat damage and melting incidents with the Scout 25L Panniers due to the position and angle of the CB500X's exhaust. Aftermarket exhausts have not been proven to solve this issue and we do not recommend the use of Scout 25L Panniers on the CB500X with any pannier rack we know of.
