Production to cease in late June, as founder Andy White pivots to “Travels with Andy” expeditions
After three decades producing high-quality motorcycle travel gear in Australia, Andy Strapz is shutting up shop. Founder and director Andy White has announced that manufacturing across all Andy Strapz product lines will “cease in a step wise fashion as existing raw materials are exhausted,” with the wind-down occurring over the next three months and shutdown set to land around late June.
“We’ve come to a natural turning point. It’s time to close this chapter and turn the page,” White said.
For riders, it’s effectively the last call for Australian-made Andy Strapz equipment. The company says current stock still covers the range, but advises customers to get their orders in early. Other retailers’ remaining stock will be sold out as the closure progresses.
Built by riders, made for travel
Since 1997, Andy Strapz has built its name on practical, ride-tested solutions for people who actually travel by bike—gear designed to be tough, simple to use, and reliable in the real world. White’s decades on motorcycles shaped a range focused on function over fuss, backed by an Australian workshop team and a strong emphasis on materials and quality control. While the brand is best known in motorcycling, its in-house making capability has also been applied across other areas like 4WD and outdoors pursuits.
Final production schedule
Andy Strapz will stop making products in stages through to mid-June, with lines dropping off at the end of March, end of April, end of May, and again around mid-June. In broad terms, smaller luggage and accessory items are scheduled to end first, followed by additional bag lines and riding basics, with bigger-ticket pannier-related gear and strap systems among the last items to cease.
The company stresses these are planned final production dates—not guaranteed sell-out dates—warning some items may disappear earlier, and that changes are possible due to materials, labour or demand constraints. “To be sure you don’t miss out – get in early!”
What’s next
White is transitioning to focus exclusively on ‘Travels with Andy’, offering “curated, long-format motorcycle expeditions through India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.” These journeys will run in partnership with in-country operator Karma Yatri.
