  MAXIA 5  

The MAXIA 5 is the transalpine company’s principle new release for 2023 and represents a leap into the future. This fifth version of GIVI’s legendary top case has a capacity of 58 litres, placing it at the top of its line. It’s also lighter and stronger than its predecessor. With a sleek, futuristic design, it offers a large storage space that is also highly secure thanks to the use of premium materials and the inclusion of a mat inside to prevent objects from sliding around. With countless accessories (not included) for customisation, the MAXIA 5 top case is available from £355.83 + VAT.

  E206  

One of the GIVI accessories compatible with the modern MAXIA 5 is the folding trolley E206.

It comes equipped as standard with replaceable anti-noise wheels and a long retractable extension handle. Available for £53.75 + VAT.

  EA133  

As well as a reliable saddle and good equipment for the rider, long motorbike trips require ample storage space. Depending on the route and the number of days, a single top case may not be enough. In that respect, GIVI offers numerous options, including the EA133soft side bags. Featuring a 25-litre capacity, they are made of water-resistant 600D/PU polyester with PU inserts and reflective piping, as well as matte black reflective material for better visibility, anti-slip PVC on the back and flame retardant fabric on the base. They have straps that are placed under the saddle, to allow the bags to be attached by way of a double ring system. What’s more, they are fitted as standard with a roll-up closure system to ensure total waterproofness, as well as a water-resistant inner lining with heavy-duty webbing, zipped front pocket and shoulder strap and handle for easy carrying. Available for £132.50 + VAT.

With a technopolymer shellin three sizes, it has ECE 22-06 homologation, the most recent and demanding homologation to date. This helmet guarantees rider protection, as well as ventilation (thanks to its three front air intakes and two rear extractors) and comfort, and boasts of features such as the integrated retractable sun visor, which prevents glare. The 50.9 is available in different graphics, in sizes XS to XXL, from £158.90(price depends on graphics).
