Monokey vs. Monolock

Post by CelticCross »

Anyone here know makes the Monokey line of top cases superior to the Monolock line?

Trying to determine if the Monokey is worth an extra $60 to $100 dollars a case.

Thx

I don't buy the "not for high speed use" bit. It wasn't a problem on my 650 Kawasaki.

The difference is in the rated loading.
The cheap ones can carry 3kg and the expensive ones 10kg.

There are older posts on this forum about differences / benefits, try searching for monokey and a list will show up i.e.

It can be a bit confusing.

I actually have had the opportunity to touch both of the two case types. The Monokey case is thicker and has a better lock. It is really nice, but because most scooter riders don't need that high of quality just for riding around town, they invented the less expendive one, the Monolock. I guess it would depend on what you feel you need the case for.
