Perfect for off-road and short trips or when travelling with soft luggage: With the new mounting kit, the practical Touratech toolbox can now also be mounted directly on the frame tail of the BMW R 1300 GS - without the need for a pannier rack.
Slim yet spacious, positioned close to the vehicle and perfectly accessible: this is the Touratech tool box for the BMW R 1300 GS. With a volume of 4.2 litres, it offers enough space even for an excellently sorted professional tool set or holds a selection of important spare parts for long journeys. However, the splash-proof storage space is also very welcome on short trips or off-road excursions, for example to store first-aid materials or a breakdown kit within easy reach. Thanks to its well thought-out design and clever mix of stainless steel and plastic materials, the Touratech tool box is also extremely robust.
The extra-large opening is practical and allows easy loading and unloading. If required, the lid can also be removed completely. A safety catch ensures that it does not get lost. The lock, which is of course available with the same key as other Touratech products, is protected against dust and splash water by a cap, ensuring that it remains smooth-running even with frequent off-road use.
New mounting kit: mounting now also possible without luggage rack!
Previously only available for use on the stainless steel carrier of the Touratech ZEGA Evo aluminium pannier systems, the Touratech tool box is now also available for mounting directly on the rear of the frame. This is made possible by the new mounting kit. This is Touratech's response to a frequently expressed request from the community and allows the tool box to be used without a luggage rack. This makes the box even more versatile, which should please users of soft luggage systems or sporty adventure riders.
Precisely laser-cut from three-millimetre-strong stainless steel, the mounting kit allows the boxes to be fitted directly to the rear frame on the left and right with a precise fit and high strength. Thanks to the careful positioning of the boxes, there are no restrictions when getting on the bike or for comfort on the pillion seat.
This mounting kit is now available for the BMW R 1300 GS. There is also a variant for mounting on the left-hand side of the R 1200 GS (LC), the R 1250 GS and the corresponding Adventure models.

Universally suitable and yet competent in every facet of its wide range of uses: This is the new Touratech Destino Travel motorcycle boot. Specially designed for long distance riders, it combines comfort with outstanding protection and maximum practical benefits.
The expectations placed on a motorcycle touring boot are as varied as everyday travel. It has to be safe and comfortable to wear for a long day in the saddle, it needs to be comfy enough for a tour of the city, and the foot climate must be adequate in hot weather or constant rain.
A complex product for a simple purpose: motorcycle touring!
For the Touratech product developers, this extremely broad and diverse range of requirements is both a challenge and an incentive. The aim in developing the new Destino Travel was to create an all-round motorcycle boot that makes no compromises in any area. With this in mind, Touratech has combined state-of-the-art technologies and extensive practical experience in the Destino Travel.
Perfect climate regulation thanks to high-quality Sympatex membrane
The particularly high-performance Sympatex membrane is responsible for waterproofness and climate regulation. The membrane has a water column of over 45,000 millimetres. Hydrophilic molecular chains absorb water vapour and transport it to the outside. The effect increases dynamically with increasing temperature or humidity differences. Incidentally, the Sympatex membrane is a German product and 100% recyclable.
The 2.2 to 2.4 millimetre strong full-grain leather of the new Destino Travel is hydrophobic (water-phobic) treated in accordance with Sympatex specifications and therefore absorbs virtually no water. This supports the transport of moisture to the outside and is an important factor for the comfortable fit, even after long journeys in the rain.
Innovative buckles with double joint
The innovative, adjustable S-Lock buckles with an additional joint make handling even more convenient when opening. The buckles can be replaced if necessary.
360-degree protection concept
Based on many years of experience in the development of high-quality motorcycle boots and the systematic evaluation of customer feedback, Touratech has further optimised the Destino Travel's safety concept. An additional TPU protector on the inside provides 360-degree protection for the ankle. The side facing the vehicle is equipped with suede heat protection. A plastic gear lever protector rounds off the protective equipment.
Sole with clever double function
Intensive development work was put into optimising the sole. This offers excellent stability on the footrests, but rolls comfortably when walking. The footbed, which is made from antibacterial recycled PU, also has channels that support the circulation of air in the boot.
Touratech Destino Travel: The specialist for all purposes
With this integrated concept, the new Destino Travel is much more than the sum of its many features. It is the specialist for all purposes. The Touratech Destino Travel is now available in sizes 39 to 48. Item no.: 500-3939 ff.
