Shift Wheelie Gear Bag Review

From the September/October 2011 issue of ATV Rider Magazine

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. To be honest, we have no idea what the hell that even means. Instead, we’d like our readers to focus on this: Is the Shift Wheelie gear bag worth 150 of your hard-earned bucks? We sure think so! If you travel as much as we do, having a gear bag with a belly large enough to swallow all of our gear is a must. The Wheelie, which measures about 36 inches long by 16 inches wide by 19 inches tall, has a padded main compartment and two large end pockets stout enough to make your riding boots disappear.

A few nice touches that add to this stylish bag are a top pocket designed to keep your goggles separated from muddy gear and a removable changing mat so you don’t get your tighty-whities dirty while changing back into your street gear.

The trouble with big bags is they often hold so much gear, they become too heavy for the majority of folks to carry. For those not fortunate enough to have guns as big as ours, the wheels on the Wheelie save the day.

Shift’s Wheelie can be had in any color your little heart desires, as long as those colors are black and silver. For a quality built bag pretty enough to make the airline baggage workers want to steal it from you, look no further than the Shift Wheelie.
