Paid partnership with Oxford Products

Oxford’s latest Atlas Luggage range is built for serious adventures and its modular design means you can scale it up and down – use one, two, three, four or even five bags together.

So whether you’re commuting to the office, nipping to the shops, heading out for a long weekend or exploring far-flung parts of Europe, there’s a combination that’s right for you.

The universal Fast Fit attachment system lets you add and remove the bags you require in a matter of seconds and their main compartments are always accessible even whilst mounted to your bike. Built to last, Atlas Modular Luggage comes with a Lifetime Guarantee and is available in two colours – black and charcoal and black.

On this page, we’ll take a look at several different scenarios and let you know which Atlas kit we’d be reaching for if it were down to us.

Make your commute an adventure

You can ride into work whatever the weather, but it’s particularly tempting when the sun is out. Many of us steal a few extra hours in the saddle each week by ditching the car or train and wheeling the bike out instead.

If you’re packing light and only need space for a laptop, waterproof, lunchbox etc. then the B-20 Advanced Backpack will meet your needs. If not, look to the larger B-30 version or simply pair your Backpack with a T-10 or T-20 Tourpack. This will give you plenty of room if you need to fit in your gym gear, a change of clothes or pick up some dinner on the way home.

The weekend warrior

With busy lives a weekend adventure is the perfect way to ride-out and explore the best roads and scenic routes your locality has to offer.

You obviously don’t need the full Nick Sanders for a three-day blast around the Cotswolds, but for longer rides like this it’s more enjoyable to take the weight off your shoulders and let the bike do the work.

The T-30 Tourpack is ideal for a few days away as you can stuff it with everything you need, strap it quickly to the bike with the G-Hook Loops and then pretty much forget it’s there, leaving you to move freely on the bike and making sure you don’t tire yourself out prematurely.

If you need a little more capacity for your trip – maybe it’s a four day-er or you want to carry some camping stuff too – you can stack a T-20 or T-10 onto your T-30 in seconds.

The globetrotter

There’s no better feeling on two wheels than heading off on a fully-loaded bike with thousands of miles of road in front of you and time to enjoy it.

Here’s where the modular nature of the Atlas range really comes into its own because you can combine side-by-side and stacking techniques to build 70l volume/15kg combined maximum weight capacity.

Start with a T-30 strapped to the bike, then add a T-20 to each side and top it off with a T-10 on top. Or use the multi-purpose B-30 Backpack as a base and strap other combinations of the Atlas luggage range to it. All of the Atlas’s mounting straps are adjustable up and down the luggage, so you can make enough clearance to wear the Backpack on many models.
