Hi Bill - In 2013, the Great Basin Stuff Sacks will be available as an optional accessory, not included with the Great Basin Saddlebag. Customers repeatedly asked us if we could reduce the Saddlebag price if we pulled the stuff sacks out. We couldn't do this before, because they were produced and sold as a single assembly and SKU. Now, by separating them, the 2013 Great Basin Saddlebag is actually cheaper than before (MSRP $399), and riders can choose how they wish to customized their kit (with Great Basin Dry Pods, Great Basin Stuff Sacks or their own inner packing bags). Here's an earlier post. Enjoy your new Coyote Saddelbag! Let us know who it's working out for you. Cheers, Harold

It also gets a bump in capacity from 10.5L to 13.5L...

On another note here's a crappy pic of the Moto Overland booth from the Vancouver Moto Show that shows the new reflective details on some of the new bags


The Coyote is on the left on the 525EXC (Zigzag on the handlebar) the Fort Rock top bag is on the floor by the F8 and you can even just see the new Great Basin shining behind the F8s back wheel. Bright!

that's intriguing. much higher quality than a tool tube for most any bike.
i could totally use that on my DR in raw alum!

sweet. nice work!

Any chance the Coyote dry pods will be available individually? I only use the center banana-shaped stuff sack now. I'd like to get the new dry pods, but $100 is too steep for the one bag I'd use. Thanks!

Goodbye 2012 . . . Hello 2013 Giant Loop Collection!

[Rainier_runner]

Does anyone have the actual outside dimensions of the Siskou panniers?

[Minsk99]

The Siskiyou look awesome! Nicely done. Is there a way of running a cable through the bags in order to lock them and secure them to the bike?

One idea for soft bags: I've used Pac-Safes on each side, with all the gear secured; then secure the cables to the frame. About as secure as you can get without going to hard bags. It does make access very slow.

I'll be down at Giant Loop today for a meeting. I will get dimensions of the Siskiyous for you then and post them up this evening. Any other questions I can get answered while I am there talking with the boys?

I don't think the dry pods will be available as single pieces, but you have a good suggestion. I will share it and see if there are options to separate the bags. A likely solution would be to network with someone here on ADVrider to share the cost of a Coyote dry pod kit. You could arrange to split the cost and get the center sack out of the deal.

Yes, please measure the same dimensions as the previous Great Basin was specified, but then on the new 2013 Great Basin:

Can you provide the dimensions of the new 2013 version compared to the dimensions of the previous version?
Dimensions (fully packed):
55" - bottom of pannier, across top to bottom of other pannier bucket
9" - height of bag in top center
7" - distance from inside to outside of pannier bucket bottom
12" - front to back in top center

And also the dimensions of the Siskiyou in a comparable way to the Great basin.

Thanks in advance.

Here measurements for the new 2013 Great Basin Saddlebag - they are approximate, as the amount of gear packed into the bag changes the shape of soft luggage.

• Dimensions (fully packed):

56" - bottom of pannier, across top to bottom of other pannier bucket
Basically the same as before, with a little more "doming" on top due to increased "front to back" distance.

10" - height of bag in top center
Again, the difference here is mostly a result of the "front to back" measurement below allowing the top to arc more when stuffed full.

6" - distance from inside to outside of pannier bucket bottom
This dimension didn't change - I think this is simply a more accurate measurement taken at very bottom of the "leg."

14" - front to back in top center
This is where/why we picked up an additional 10 liters of volume (60 vs. 50), by adding nearly 2" in this plane. No change in the way the bag mounts or rides, just a bit roomier for sleeping bags and other lightweight, bulky gear in the top.

Hope this helps!
