Kriega creates a special edition version of the popular R25 backpack in collaboration with motorcycling legend Guy Martin.
The world-famous road racer, record breaker and TV presenter has long relied on Kriega backpacks while on his two-wheeled adventures, and we are pleased to announce this unique version of the R25, available from August 2026.
The R25 Guy Martin Edition features the famous skull and spanners logo, plus the former IOM TT star’s favoured racing number ‘8’ stitched into the pack’s padded back panel. The current version of Kriega’s renowned Quadloc harness has been altered to reintroduce the 6061-T6 alloy upper harness adjusters, just like the original R25 had.

Guy says, ‘I’ve been using Kriega stuff for 20 years or more. When they asked me if we could do a special edition I didn’t hesitate. It’s quality stuff.’
The R25 has a two-compartment structure, the larger is a 20L, 100% waterproof, rolltop Drypack compartment with a replaceable white liner. The smaller, quick-access section has a heavy-duty YKK zip closure. Both can be cinched with the four adjustable compression straps.
The R25 Guy Martin Edition is constructed from genuine, ultra-durable 1000D and 420D CORDURA, while the innovative harness design redistributes the weight of even the heaviest loads to the wearer’s core, and off the shoulders, ensuring all-day comfort.
Like all Kriega luggage, the R25 Guy Martin Edition is sold with a 10-year guarantee.
