Krauser in the Storm-Motor.fi store

“…As good as our products are today, we strive to make them even better in the future. Continuous development is part of our company’s tradition.” -Mike Krauser

In the early seventies, Mike Krauser had the idea of using the hard-shell suitcases familiar to everyone to increase the carrying capacity of his motorcycle. As a result of this idea, he became the first to begin designing and manufacturing high-quality luggage systems for motorcycles. Krauser grew at a furious pace into the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycle luggage. This almost uncontrollable growth was, however, followed by very difficult times in the company’s history, which ended in the cessation of operations.

In 1997 Krauser’s operations were restarted, this time as a subsidiary of Hepco & Becker. Krauser’s designers began developing new technical innovations from a clean slate. With these innovations they set out to meet the wishes expressed by the company’s loyal customers. Development work therefore relies heavily on feedback received from customers, and these unofficial factory test riders, who have been involved in developing the products, also test them around the world year after year.

Krauser has made a promise to support its customers in the future as well, and as a sign of this the factory today supplies spare parts even for old model ranges that have already been discontinued. This way the customer can be sure that, should a need for spare parts arise—whether due to crash damage or wear caused by hundreds of demanding trips—the necessary spare parts are available quickly.

The quality and usability of Krauser’s products have become clear in numerous comparison tests. Krauser reaps the greatest success in tests carried out by motorcyclists themselves. Dozens of trips over the years turn into unforgettable memories, untarnished by the worries of wet change-of-clothes or stolen belongings.
