Why this gift works

The Nelson-Rigg Commuter Lite Tank Bag holds 5.8 liters, expanding to 8.4, and measures 10.5 by 7.5 by 4.5 inches. It mounts with four shielded magnets or a four-point strap system stowed under its non-slip base, so it works on steel, aluminum and plastic tanks. The clear top panel works with a touchscreen, there is a pass-through for a charging cable, and a waterproof rain cover is included. Nelson-Rigg gives it a lifetime warranty.

A tank bag keeps the day's essentials in reach without a backpack on the rider's shoulders, and the clear panel keeps a phone's map in view. It suits commuters and day riders.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A commuter
  • A weekend day rider
  • Pairing with a phone mount

Think twice if

  • They need touring luggage
  • They dislike bags on the tank

The catch

The magnets hold only on steel tanks - aluminum and plastic need the straps - its 5.8-to-8.4-liter size suits day rides rather than touring, and it is pricey for its size.

Skip if they already ride with a tank bag, or need touring-size luggage.

What to look for in a motorcycle tank bag

  • Mount. Magnets need a steel tank; straps fit any tank.
  • Size. Small bags suit commutes; touring needs more.
