Kriega Hydro Race in detail
The Hydro Race features an innovative buckleless harness design that offers a combination of firm, bounce-free support and breathability. The harness secures with an elastic loop that is easy to clip on or off, even with cold, wet, or tired fingers. A heavy-duty 3-liter HydraPak is included as standard.
The large-capacity, military-spec tank features dividers to help keep the load stable and low-profile, while the insulated drinking tube keeps water cool and has a magnetic closure for attaching to the strap.
Reducing fatigue is essential for all motorcyclists, but especially for enduro riders. In this context the Hydro Race harness is designed to distribute the load and eliminate pressure points, as are all Kriega harness designs.
The harness straps are made of breathable mesh to improve air circulation. In addition, the new hydration backpack has a Cordura rear net to store items such as waterproof clothing or spare gloves, or to incorporate any of the accessories from the Hydro Race range.
