THE BAGHEERA
Inspired by the Indian Leopard — The Silent Hunter.
Not every predator announces its arrival.
Some move in silence. Watching. Adapting. Surviving.
The Bagheera Backpack draws its soul from the Indian leopard—stealthy, versatile, and built to thrive in every terrain. Compact in form, fierce in purpose, and ready for whatever lies beyond the next turn.
Handcrafted from 100% upcycled truck tire tubes and full-grain leather, every Bagheera carries scars of the road and a story of rebirth. Rugged, timeless, and unmistakably Uptantra.
Built for riders who refuse to be boxed in.
Multiple tactical loops and leather retention straps let you carry gear your way. Need extra cargo? Strap it on.
The heavy-duty metal D-hook system allows Bagheera to transform from a backpack into a motorcycle pannier within seconds. Removable shoulder straps add even more flexibility—detach them when mounted on the motorcycle for a cleaner, more secure pannier setup, and clip them back on when it's time to walk. Run it solo or pair it up for longer expeditions.
Inside, everything has its place:
*Spacious main compartment
*Inner utility sleeve
*Outer utility pouch
*Quick-access zip pocket
Carries your daily essentials with ease—camera gear, water bottle, 4 sets of clothes, tools, and the little things every journey demands.
Monsoon clouds overhead?
Bagheera doesn't flinch.
Naturally water-resistant truck tube construction and rainproof zippers keep your gear protected when the weather turns wild.
From city streets to mountain passes, workdays to weekend escapes, Bagheera moves the same way its namesake does—Silent. Adaptable. Unstoppable.
Dimensions:
Length: 30 cm
Height: 42 cm
Width: 15 cm
All our saddle bags, panniers, and hybrid backpacks come loaded with multiple D-hooks, tough mounting straps, and leather patch points for easy fit on your motorbike frame.
Our sling and messenger bags roll with an adjustable strap - wear it cross-body or rock it as a waist bag, your call.

1. Cleaning Your Luggage
- Quick Clean: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust.
- Deep Clean: Use mild soap and water with a soft brush to scrub away dirt. Rinse with clean water and let it air dry.
2. Waterproofing
- While tire tubes are naturally water-resistant, apply a rubber-safe waterproofing spray for extra protection after prolonged use.
3. Zipper Care
- Clean zippers periodically with a brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if the zippers feel stiff.
4. Handling Tears and Ruptures
- In case of tears or punctures, your bag can be repaired just like a tire tube—with a patch! This eco-friendly material is easy to fix, keeping it functional for years.
5. Handling Minor Scratches
- Minor scratches are normal for upcycled material. For any major repairs, contact our support for sustainable repair options.
Yes, each bag is crafted with care and attention to detail by our in-house team.
At Uptantra, we’re so sure our gear can take whatever the road throws at it, we back it with a 2-year warranty. If the metal, plastic, or our upcycled tubes and leather ever let you down, we’ve got your back. We know what it’s like—riding hard, pushing limits—and our gear is built to handle it. If it fails due to a material or craftsmanship issue, we’ll either repair or replace it, no questions asked. But we didnt cover damage from rough handling or regular wear and tear. As for scratches, scuffs, or stains? That’s just part of the journey. A little grease, engine oil, or mud? That’s the badge of honor. And no, we won’t cover lost time, gear, or anything else that’s out of your control. This isn’t just gear, it’s tough, ride-ready equipment that stands the test of time—just like you.
Warranty Policy
Bag’s busted? No sweat. If it's covered by warranty, just send it our way – you cover the shipping, we handle the rest. Toss in your proof of purchase, and we’ll give it a look pronto. If it checks out, we’ll either fix it or swap it out. If we're low on stock or it's in the works, we’ll toss you a similar option to keep you rolling.
When you ship it back, use a solid courier with tracking and door delivery. Once we’ve got your gear, we’re on it. We’re riders, we get it – we’ll handle your warranty fast, fair, and with zero hassle. We’ve got a rep for treating our people right.
