Real-World Tested in Hawke’s Bay: Nomad Moto on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
Customer Ride Report
Here at Nomad Moto, we don’t care much for studio setups or showroom polish. We care about one thing — how our gear performs when you’re deep into the ride. That’s why this kind of feedback means the world to us.
A rider from Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand recently sent in this message after taking our modular luggage setup — base layer and panniers — out for a proper test on his Royal Enfield Himalayan 450:
“Yep — they fit bloody great. I waited with my reply because I wanted to try them on a run first. Anyway, absolutely stoked. You just don’t know they’re there, and they don’t affect the balance of the bike in any negative way.”
That’s exactly what we designed the Strzelecki Series to do — sit low and tight, keep your load stable, and let you focus on the ride, not the gear. Whether you’re using pannier racks or running our rackless base, the result is the same: no bounce, no sway, no over-engineered fluff.
In rugged places like Hawke’s Bay — where loose gravel turns to clay and open country can throw everything at you — having luggage that doesn’t mess with your balance is critical. Riders need confidence that their gear won’t shift when things get sketchy.
If you’re riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, know this:
✔ The Nomad Moto base and panniers fit without fuss
✔ They’re lightweight and waterproof
✔ They’re built to handle real off-road conditions
✔ And they won’t mess with your center of gravity
We’ve had these systems tested on everything from Africa Twins to CF Motos, but it’s always great to hear how they perform in the wild from real riders — especially when they’re putting them through their paces in remote parts of NZ or the Aussie Outback.
