Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
So, here are the pics of Rynox bags on and off Impulse.
My short review of the smaller bag is as follows:
Pros- small yet handy bag with few compartments for documents, clothes and electronics. Water resistant zippers and also comes with dust/rain cover. Front pocket with clear plastic for phone/GPS/etc, works well with touchscreens. Converts to a shoulder bag by attaching a strap. Very well made and very good value for money. Perfect bag for overnight trips or as secondary bag for documents and electronics.
Cons- the front clear pocket is located at such a place, that when mounted on Impulse tank, one really needs to take eyes off the road to look at the phone/GPS/etc that's in that pocket. Also whatever you place in that pocket becomes extremely hot on sunny rides as it acts as a greenhouse
My iPod actually shut down coz of overheating on my last trip! The bag attaches to the tank via 3 magnets, two on flaps and one in the lower center of the bag, however due to Impulse's tank design, the middle magnet falls on the seat, thus not attaching to anything (I've tried turning the bag around so that magnet is on the tank, but it did not help much). When the bag is converted to shoulder bag, its a little weird looking, but I personally can deal with that.
Now as for the larger one, I can't say much as it is my friends bag, but it is much larger, many more compartments and mounts on Impulse with four magnets on the flaps. It converts into a backpack by unzipping the flaps with magnets (I think its too much hassle) and it also expands by abt 2-3 inches if needed.
It also has a front pocket with clear touchscreen friendly plastic that also unfortunately acts as a green house thus overheating anything you put in there.
This tank bag is big enough to hold all you need for a medium length trip, my friend took it on one week holiday to Puri (700km one way). It comes with some extra straps to secure it on the tank or on the backseat (as you like).
I personally would not have this big one on my tank, but its doable and it does not affect the steering.
Oh, my friend just told me that it's big enough to fit a helmet!
If you have anymore questions don't be shy to ask.
