Nelson-Rigg Commuter Sport Motorcycle Tail Bag — Black, Waterproof & Expandable (16–22L)

The Nelson-Rigg CL-1060-S2 Commuter Sport is a compact, waterproof motorcycle tail bag that secures to most seats and tail sections and expands to carry a full day's worth of gear.

This commuter-tailored bag combines weather-resistant UltraMax fabric with a semi-rigid molded lid so the pack holds its shape while protecting contents. Designed for short trips and everyday riding, it fits cleanly behind the rider, installs with quick-release straps, and includes reflective details and internal organization to keep essentials accessible and visible.

How much gear will this tail bag carry?

The CL-1060-S2 offers two usable volumes: a standard main compartment and an expanded option to increase capacity by nearly a third. That flexibility makes it suitable for a day’s clothing, a compact helmet visor, tools, and small electronics without bulking up your bike.

• Standard dimensions: 13" L × 11" W × 7" H (about 16.4 liters)
• Expanded dimensions: 13" L × 11" W × 9.5" H (about 22.3 liters)
• Internal self-fastening straps help secure items during transit
• Exterior shape preserves space even when partially empty

Is the bag weatherproof and rugged enough for daily use?

Yes — the Commuter Sport is built from Nelson-Rigg’s UltraMax material that resists sun fade and fabric breakdown, plus it ships with a fully waterproof rain cover for heavy downpours. Semi-rigid walls and a molded EVA lid protect contents from impact while maintaining form over time.

• UltraMax fabric for long-term UV and element resistance
• Molded EVA lid with Fibertech-style accents for added structure
• Comes with 100% waterproof rain cover for full protection
• High-density rubber zipper pulls and lockable reverse-coil zippers

How does mounting and access work on different motorcycles?

Installation is straightforward: four adjustable quick-release straps allow the bag to be secured to most tail sections and passenger seats. A flush-mount reflective handle and outer reflective piping improve visibility, while the interior layout and zippered lid organizer keep small items orderly.

• Four quick-release straps attach to tail, tail rack, or seat areas
• Semi-rigid walls maintain shape so straps don’t compress the load
• Mesh organizer under the lid for phones, maps, or cables
• Lockable zippers for added security while parked

What convenience and security features does the bag include?

The Commuter Sport balances convenience with rider-focused security: reflective elements increase nighttime visibility, interior straps hold gear steady, and the bag includes a removable shoulder strap for off-bike carry. Nelson-Rigg backs the build with a lifetime warranty against defects.

• Reflective piping and flush mount reflective handle boost rider visibility
• Inner Velcro straps stabilize contents during rides
• Adjustable shoulder strap converts the tail bag into a carry pack
• Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects

Who is this for: The Nelson-Rigg CL-1060-S2 fits riders who want a low-profile, durable tail bag for everyday commuting or short trips. It’s ideal for motorcyclists who need quick mounting, weather protection, and organized storage without a bulky footprint — commuters, day-trippers, and touring riders who prefer a compact luggage solution will find it particularly useful.
