Reckless systems work on tons of bikes — from dual sports to full ADV rigs — but choosing the right size depends more on your riding style and subframe strength than tire size or engine displacement.
Best for:
- Lightweight dual-sports
- Enduro bikes
- Day rides or ultralight overnights
- Riders packing minimal gear
Best for:
- Midweight and heavyweight ADV bikes
- Multi-day or long-distance travel
- Riders who want space for camping gear
- BDRs, international travel, everything big
If your bike has a short tail (like EXCs, WR250Rs, CRF450Ls), the Reckless 40L is generally the better choice. If you have a sturdy subframe and want full travel capacity, the Reckless 80L is hard to beat.
Still unsure? Send us your bike model and a photo of your tail/rack — we’ll point you in the right direction.
