    Here's the way I changed the strap & see how loose it got on the right side...



    The left side was intact



    Let's see how long it takes to unmount the taddle bag from the bike...



    Let's see how the 1.5 liter bottle accommodated after the ride...

    And how did the 2 X 1 liter bottles keep up?

      What could have been better
      • Minor manufacturing defect on velcro & zipper; I hope it doesn't interfere with the functionality in long terms
      • Having learnt the art of squeezing things & practicing to carry light, I find this bag huge. If there's another bag that is available between 35/40/45 liters of storage in future, I wouldn't mind to exchange
      • Instruction sheet or a Youtube video explaining how to mount Claw (I hope this will be easily taken care) were missing
      • I know they're just starting up, but I really prefer more colors; since I've a RED CBR 250R, I would've preferred as RED or BLACK color instead of Orange border. I hope with increase in demand & sales, Viaterra brings this option
      • Steel DClips instead of plastic DClips
      • Viaterra told me they did a torture test (not just stress test) on the bag & found the straps held good; but in real time, things are little different. Even Nelsonrigg gave up during my 4th trip, I wish the straps could've been a few mm wider. Let's wait & see how it holds.
      • The underneath of the taddle bag could have been supported with water proof material as it's quite a trade of between practical & engineering for the rain cover to wrap the bag completely. I'm sure the water from rear wheels will drench the bottom of Claw
      • Ofcourse, Viaterra doesn't have full control, but, the courier service could've done a better job instead of causing the unnecessary delay



      What impressed me
      • 15 days return policy - Purchase can be made through credit card & NEFT
      • ONE FULL YEAR OF WARRANTY on the workmanship & material
      • Life time repairs; this is one frigging thing that I love it. I know I might get it done at much lesser price (shipping + cost of fixing at Viaterra) at local bag repair shop, but, I'm looking at PERFECTION & a very long life. So I guess I don't mind the additional cost. Something that Viaterra OWNS responsibility for it
      • Absolutely great quality of work & material used; the raw materials are excellent quality; Claw exceeds in quality in the standards of Indian product
      • The inside of Claw, like I said is made up of little soft material for a motorcycle luggage which is really good
      • The D Clips that helps to fasten & unfasten way too quick
      • Free rain cover (seamless construction). That too it's easy to cover & takes only few seconds
      • Long shoulder strap to carry around
      • 2 big pockets on either side on outside are great welcome; I can probably carry additional fuel & save time on refueling
      • Outside & inside big zippered pockets are welcome
      • Though I'm yet to test real time, I believe, the mount system holds good on long journey; good engineering
      • Gives the best of the world between saddle & tail bag (that's why I call this TADDLE bag ) & can be sure that exhaust will not burn the bag
      • After the little test, I'm pretty confident that this 55 liter Claw is all I need even for a 30 day road trip

                  Thanks for your kind words; I really want to Thank all you guys because most come here, read, gain the knowledge & don't even bother to post a word or two or do the least, click a LIKE & start acting they "know it all". Anyway, I'm doing the review my way on my standards & glad you liked them.
