Cortech Super 2.0 18-Liter Tank Bag
Anyone got a Cortech Super 2.0 18-Liter Tank Bag? I've been eyeing the magnetic version and was wondering if anyone had any comments.

I've had one on mine for a couple months now, and I am beyond satisfied with it. I was originally worried that the magnets wouldn't be strong enough, but I was severely mistaken. If you're still on the fence about getting one pull that trigger! You won't regret it.

I have the original, not the 2.0 but my only complaint is the bulkyness-it's too square and is kind of annoying. that said, after a couple hundred mile trip it no longer bothered me one bit. The 2.0 is more rounded though and just from looking at it i'm fairly certain the new one doesn't have the same bulkiness issue.
Magnets are plenty strong for loads way above the rated load, never had mine budge even packed as full as I could get it with beer. |

Does it obstruct the road in front at all?

No, it's not nearly tall enough to do that. The bulky issue was because the front corners would just touch my handlebars at full lock and that bugged me. The new one is rounded so shouldn't even have that problem. It is tall enough to make full tuck a little less full, but the upswing is you can rest your head on it.

I have the newer version, and there absolutely zero issues with clearance and visibility.

I also have the Rapid Transit Recon 19 and love it. Before selecting a tank bag I went through every photo I could find on this site of a tank bag mounted to a new gen 250. Of all the bags seen that actually hold a decent amount, the Recon 19 seemed to be the only one that fits like it was made for the tank.
