The GFX V2 is Alpinestars’ everyday carry option, and it plays that role without pretending to be something it’s not. Built from 100% 600D Polyester, it’s a robust, reliable daily bag for riders who want the brand’s quality and aesthetic without the technical riding-specific specification of the premium range. At 15.9 litres it sits in a practical size for commuting and campus use without becoming oversized or cumbersome.
Inside, a laptop sleeve handles the main tech, and inner organizer pockets keep the contents in order throughout the day. A hidden vertical front zipper pocket provides discreet, secure storage for the items you reach for most, and side mesh slip pockets handle water bottles without needing to open the main compartment. A padded air mesh back panel and air mesh shoulder straps keep airflow moving on warmer days or longer walks between bike and office. Contrast panels and printed logo branding give it a clean look that’s recognisably Alpinestars without being loud about it.
The GFX V2 suits riders who want a well-built, recognisable daily bag without the full riding-specific technical spec. Commuters, students, and weekend riders who cross between bike life and everyday use will find it a comfortable, practical companion. At £94.99, it’s a fair price for a bag that covers the basics well and carries the Alpinestars name.
