Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Steve from Cape Town, South Africa

Pros: Good quality. Tough material. Looks durable. Light. Compact. Cute. Versatile as a little carrier bag at the mall, strapped over the shoulder.

Cons: Very small, even in "XL". Used Oxford Expandable Luggage in the past, but the JR Manta fits the B-King tank configuration VERY well. My very reason for its purchase. Would've liked to have had the exterior pouches expand upward/outward for more room though! Disappointing bang for the buck if space/room was the sole motive for the purchase.

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Anonymous from Georgia

Pros: Nice tank bag. Even though it says XL it's not very big but fits nicely on a sportbike. Large enough for an extra shield, wallet, some tools, jacket liner etc. Separate compartment for cell phone.

Comments: Very happy with the bag

 Just right

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Paul from Statesboro

Pros: Well made and stays where I put it on my GS500. Right size for a day-bag. Magnets tuck in for easy carry.

Cons: I wish it had a map pocket on the side.

Comments: There are 6 magnets in this bag, so that should hold it down on just about any steel tank. Cell phone pocket is big enough for any phone (even some really old ones!) You could easily put 2 modern flip phones in it. My gloves, ID badge and safety glasses fit in the round zippered part. That leaves the main compartment: I put my spare faceshield in there, which is pretty bulky. But I still had room for a foot-long sub! The profile is small enough that I don't notice it while I'm riding, and don't even see it unless I look down.

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Kevin from Las vegas, NV

Pros: Surprisingly small looking. I was shocked at first and wondered how much would it hold. I was able to stuff a bag of bagels, creme cheese, a jar of orange marmalade, my cell phone, my wallet, my disk lock, and a can of soda. There probably was a little more room to stuff some take out food too. Magnets are STRONG. Even on my CBR600 RR where there is very little metal, it stuck on pretty well.

Cons: I don't like the strap it comes with. It seems a little strange. Feels like a big camera bag or a medium size purse.

Comments: Overall I think it is a great investment. Wish it would be bigger though, hate to see how small the regular one is.

 Cool Looking Bag

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By San Man from Rhode Island

Pros: Nice looking bag on the bike, holds its form even when not loaded to capacity. Magnetic mounts fit perfectly on my K1 GSXR 750. Has a handle and strap attachments for carrying off the bike.

Cons: Not what you'd call "XL" by any means. Medium at best.

 Exactly What I Expected

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Alex from Berkeley, CA

Pros: Bag reliably stays on the tank even at high speeds. It fits all of of my gym gear (shorts, shirt, shoes, towel) with some extra smaller pockets for thinks like a cellphone, wallet, toll tags, etc. Comes with some alternative carrying straps which I don't use. Also comes with a waterproof bag for those rainy days.

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Comments: Definitely worth the money.

 All around perfect!

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By C/O Gaddy from Anytown, USA

Pros: It's the perfect size for an all around, every day, bag. The magnets hang on shockingly well, and you'd be surprized with the amount of stuff you can fit into it.

Cons: Reall no cons for me, but i'll keep you guys posted...

Joe Rocket Manta XL Tank Bag Reviewed By Reggie from Anytown, USA

Pros: Good quality fabric, magnets and rubberized material. Doesn't scratch up the tank. Pretty spacious and the pockets are in good locations throughout. I fit a pair of running shoes, shorts, t-shirt, and socks in it easily.

Cons: A bit smaller than I expected. Even though the dimensions are given, XL gives the impression of just that...well it's more like M to L. I wanted to use it as a mini-gym gag. While I could fit the essentials in it, there's no more room for a towel and toiletries. I guess I have to still wear a back pack. The zippers are decent quality but under stress, one started to kink. Did not break, though. The side wing magnets stick out over the tank sides on my 2007 GSXR 600 a bit (just like the picture) but it's not a big deal, I guess.

Comments: Overall, it's a good little bag that I will use for a long time to come. Go ahead and buy one! It's worth the money.
