10 Ways To Lighten Your Motorcycle Tool Roll

Useful tips to help you reduce the weight and size of your tool roll.

Published on 02.26.2014

If you are an Adventure Rider that travels off-road in remote areas, you probably carry a lot of tools on your journeys. No doubt, your tool roll has grown over time as you have encountered breakdowns and realize you need yet another tool.

A heavy tool roll can be difficult to keep stationary and can wreak havoc on other items inside your luggage. The extra weight on your bike from all those tools can make your bike less responsive off-road as well. If you carry your tools in a backpack, a heavy tool roll can quickly sap your endurance and make your ride less comfortable.

It’s a good idea to review your tool kit periodically to ensure you are not carrying around any unnecessary weight. Often you can shed several pounds with lighter materials or by combining multiple tools into one. Here are our favorite tips to help you reduce the size and weight of your tool roll.
