Kappa’ s Garda range with“ strong technical and aesthetic features” now includes a new collection of hard wearing Garda cases in an all-black finish. Garda cases are aimed at“ the most demanding sector of the two-wheeler market that demands both safety and comfort when distances are long and loading capacities vary, requiring a modern design combined with functionality”. The range includes the KGR52 top case and the KGR46 and KGR33 side cases, both of which can also be used as a top case. The set“ is perfect for a wide range of motorcycle makes and models, for which there are dedicated Monokey attachments. All features of the existing Garda cases are replicated in the new“ Black Line” version“ with the addition of a touch of style and elegance”. With the security of a robust case made of technopolymer, the range“ offers excellent resistance to both stress and vibration”. All Garda cases can safely“ support” an internal load of 10 kg. For the
“ Black Line” range, an“ N” has simply been added to the model code number. The KGR52N top case has the same distinctive features as the side case, but with softer lines that have been designed specifically for the“ substantial” KGR52N. This top case stands out for its 52 litre capacity and the capability to store two modular helmets. The KGR46N and KGR33N side cases can be purchased separately or in pairs. The pair is supplied with a one-key configuration
( matching lock barrels) plus a third matching lock barrel to be used in a top case. Designed by Kappa with a square design that offers a 33 and 46 litre capacity, the latter is capable of storing one modular helmet. The Garda line can further be enhanced with a variety of dedicated accessories like the K635 and K632 backrest, the E125 ring kit to anchor the elasticated net, the TK756 soft, padded inner bag, metallic top racks in black painted metal, a nylon top rack and an optional Security Lock set.
