PRO GuIDe extRA Italian design, functionality and diversity Kawasaki Z1000SX accessories Demonstrating that Italian accessory specialist GIVI’s range is a natural fit for the sports touring market, the company is offering “an exquisite line of accessories dedicated to Kawasaki’s popular, versatile Z1000 ‘Naked’ style derived four-cylinder Z1000SX – an exclusive kit of products that increases a motorcyclist’s comfort and safety whilst maximising the motorcycle’s storage capacity.” GIVI’s makeover for the Z1000SX includes a windshield and a range of top cases, saddlebags and tank bags. Its Monokey/Monolock specific rear rack allows the motorcycle to be equipped with top cases ranging from the reinforced techno-polymer Trekker 52-litre top case to the MAXIA 4 V56 (56 litre), or smaller options such as the 27-liter B27 top case and 30- liter E300N2. To carry extra luggage on the sides of the Z1000SX, GIVI has developed a specific pannier holder for their V35 Monokey side cases and a holder for the 3D600 Easylock side bags/soft side bags, such as their EA100B. GIVI says it also has a wide variety of tank bags on offer, in an assortment of different capacities, that can be attached to the fuel tank using their Tanklock system, including the 15-liter thermoformed ST603. To provide the rider with improved weather protection, GIVI has developed a specific smoked windshield measuring 56 x 37cm (14cm higher than the original) that “provides the motorcycle with a more aggressive, sharp style whilst at the same time generating improved aerodynamics and increased comfort” for 2011-2016 models. Universal trolley base S410 Further showcasing the diversity of the GIVI offer, seen here is a new idea – their S410 universal trolley base for Monokey top cases. Compatible with all their Monokey top case designs, the 6-point mount S410 is attached to the Monokey structure and acts as a new support, as the lower surface replicates the base of the top case and then attaches to the Monokey plate mounted on a motorcycle or scooter. It occupies very little space and weighs only 2.3 kg, thanks to its durable, high fibre content nylon construction. It can be adjusted into four different positions and has a lightweight telescopic handle, constructed from soft rubber coated aluminium to provide a strong, comfortable grip. Its bearing- mounted wheels are made of a compound design to provide smooth, fluid movement even on uneven surfaces. The GIVI security lock mechanism can be matched to the top and side cases. 50.5 Tridion helmet incorporating shapes and sizes that also make the range ideal for the two-wheel world of scramblers and new classics.” This new universal range already includes around forty bags, some of which are completely waterproof, and one can add an additional carrying capacity of between 25 to 80 litres. The GIVI ‘T’ range includes Easy-T, Metro-T, Gravel-T, Sport-T and now the Ultima-T. Common features of the range include composite build made with ballistic fabric/polymer foam and heavy coated fabric, increased protection against weathe ring, protective stiffening panels, M.O.L.L.E. fixing system (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) for universal mounting, and materials that are compliant with REACH regulations (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). The Ultima-T “magnificent seven” includes four waterproof products: a 30-litre dry-roll bag, a 35-litre backpack and two cargo bags with a capacity of 40 and 80 litres respectively; there is also a 55-litre top bag (that can be mounted to the seat), a 25-litre cargo bag and a pair of side bags, each with a 25- litre capacity. Three new Gravel-T bags Would you like more GIVI diversity? Then their 50.5 Tridion is a new sport-touring helmet that is described as representing a “new generation full- face helmet for sport-touring use that goes one step further, in an elegant and modern design, offering a perfect balance between safety at the highest level and technical specifications to provide maximum comfort on medium to long distance journeys.” A versatile GIVI I303S Bluetooth intercom system- ready helmet made in a thermoplastic shell, features include a removable inner lining made from anti- sweat fabric, retractable sun visor, clear anti-scratch visor (which can be replaced by a smoked version), micrometric closure and Pinlock lens option. Its enhanced ventilation system is said to offer excellent performance thanks to three front inlets and a rear exhaust that achieve “optimum air circulation inside the helmet.” It is available in six colours. Ultima-T range of soft bags The latest additions to the ‘T’ range are three new Gravel-T bags aimed at “off-road” riders. Said to be ideal for medium loads and particularly suited to lightweight motorcycles such as Enduro and Supermoto, they are easy to mount, ultra- lightweight, 100% waterproof and have a main compartment seamed using high-frequency welding. Constructed from highly resistant specialist textiles (Ballistic Nylon and TPU), they all feature reflective inserts and contrasting bar tacks. Introduced earlier this year as what GIVI described as “the ultimate “soft” solution”, their Ultima-T range of soft bags for touring and adventure motorcycling “encompasses every possible type of loading need.
