Kriega R25 Guy Martin Edition: Pre-Order Opens for the Special Edition Pack

Guy Martin has ridden with Kriega gear for more than two decades. That’s not incidental to the Kriega R25 Guy Martin Edition — it’s why the collaboration exists. Available to pre-order now at £239 and shipping August 2026, the pack is an R25 with three specific changes built around Martin’s input, not his profile.

Guy Martin and Kriega: Why This Collab Is the Real Thing

Martin raced the TT Mountain Course for years, pursued land speed records, and has built a recognized second career as a television presenter — technically minded, direct, and not associated with gear he hasn’t tested. He’s been running Kriega backpacks through all of it. The partnership didn’t start with a phone call from marketing; it started 20 years ago when he bought the bag and found it worked. That’s the short version of why this edition is worth taking seriously.

Kriega has been building specialist motorcycle luggage since 2000, still based in North Wales. The brand’s Quadloc harness — which shifts load from the shoulders to the rider’s core — and its CORDURA construction have made it a standard reference point for touring riders who put genuine miles on their gear. The R25 is a longstanding design in the range. Every Kriega product ships with a 10-year guarantee.

Kriega R25 Guy Martin Edition: The Spec

Three things distinguish this version from the standard R25. Martin’s skull and spanners logo is on the exterior, with his racing number ‘8’ stitched into the padded back panel. The substantive change is the upper harness adjusters: Kriega has reintroduced the 6061-T6 alloy specification from the original R25 design, removed in later iterations and restored here specifically for the Guy Martin Edition. Owners of older Kriega packs will recognize the difference.

The R25 platform itself: 20L waterproof rolltop Drypack main compartment with a replaceable white liner, quick-access secondary section with a heavy-duty YKK zip, four compression straps cinching both compartments. Construction is 1000D and 420D CORDURA. The Quadloc harness handles load distribution. Ten-year guarantee standard.

Pre-order is open now at kriega.com. Shipping August 2026. At £239 with a CORDURA chassis and a 10-year guarantee, the Kriega R25 Guy Martin Edition is a straightforward case: the same pack Martin has been using for 20 years, with his number on it.
