Premium roof box with SlideLock system and whisper-quiet ride
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
Same 16 cu ft Motion 3 L as the Titan version — dual-side opening, PowerClick mount, SlideLock security — just in Black Glossy. At 43.6 lbs with 165 lb capacity, it's a solid mid-to-premium roof box. The downside? Black shows swirl marks and road grime more than lighter finishes, and 165 lbs max is just average for this price range.
