All that and you didnt even show how the top box goes on and off 100% why people are searching for givi videos in the first place is to see if a bow will fit an existing rack , or vice versa.
Hey guys, another good review. In terms of "ruggedness", how does this compare to Touratech Zega Pros? From the video I couldn't help but wonder if its a a bit softer especially the latches and frame?
I just got these for my '14 tiger 800xc. I've got the top case mounted already. What's the part number for the side case racks? Is it PLR6409? Givi very confusing for sure.
I'd like to start with a Givi top case so my girlfriend can join me, but what about back supports for the top case ? Have you tried them, are they made from hard rubber ? ( it's difficult to see on pictures ) 2nd question related to riding with a passenger in the back ; is the Givi mounting system sturdy ( compared to for example Touratech gear ? ) Thanks.
+Dawn Moon I have a Givi Trekker 52 (non-Outback) top case with passenger back pad on my Tiger 800XC, and my passenger finds it to be comfortable. It's made of foam, similar to seat foam, so it's firm but cushioned. The Givi mounting system is pretty sturdy too. Touratech's mounting system might be slightly more robust. -DrewZilla
Will these be worth the investment for strictly road touring? I'd like this design(Top loading, square, external tie-down points...) for my 17' Versys 1000LT. I won't be doing any off-road riding but I will be riding with a passenger. The weight of each side/top case is a little off putting, though. The stock cases that came with the bike are decent but there are no options for external gear lashing and the max load weight and volume are very restricting.
Givi does not make side case racks for your Versys 1000LT, so these aren't an option. Instead, you might want to add luggage capacity with a top case. That also has the benefit of providing a bit of a passenger backrest. Take a look at both Givi and Shad. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-sr4105-sr4105m-top-case-rack-kawasaki-versys-1000-2012-2017 *www.revzilla.com/givi-top-cases (see Monokey, not Monolock) *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/shad-top-case-rack-kawasaki-versys-1000-2012-2018 *www.revzilla.com/shad-motorcycle-luggage
Hi there, if i were to put the 58l top case along with 37l side panniers, will it affect the side panniers? Let say if i wants to open the side panniers, will it hit the top case? Thanks
That depends on the bike, the smaller bikes like the CB500X, if you use the 37L sides with a 58L top, you will have slight interference getting the sides open with the top box on. The lids must be pulled slightly outward to clear.
I just purchased a 2016 Tiger 800xcx and the Outback side and top cases. I will be getting the smaller 42L top case. What exactly did you use to install the top case to your Tiger? You mentioned something Altrider and an adaptor plate. What I see on your bike is black which I prefer over the silver. I'm not a big fan of the SRA6401 plate which is bare aluminum. Thanks
You would need the AltRider rack and Monokey adapter kit linked below. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/altrider-luggage-rack-triumph-tiger-800-2011-2016 *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/altrider-givi-monokey-luggage-rack-topcase-mounting-kit
I hope you are wrong because I have ordered a generic monokey plate and I cannot test it for several months, nor return it or get a replacement if it won't work... From Givi website "The Trekker Outback top-case with aluminium structure and profiles is available in two different sizes: 42 ltr and 58 ltr. These top-cases do not require a specific rack and can be attached to any existing MONOKEY® plate." www.givi.it/givi-products/cases/monokey/trekker-outback-42
The Outback top cases work with any Monokey top case rack/plate. The Outback side cases require the specific "CAM"-designated side case racks. -DrewZilla
great review my questions is I just picked up the tiger xca 2017 and as you know it comes with a luggage rack already would I be able to use that rack with these cases?
Yes, these Trekker Outback cases are the _only_ compatible cases (the Triumph cases are just rebranded versions of these cases). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-trekker-outback-37-liter-side-cases *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-trekker-outback-48-liter-side-cases
For a BMW R1200GS Adventure do you advise using two 37L cases or one 37 on the right and a 48 on the left to compensate for the extra size of the exhaust? Thanks!
Both options can be done, but I recommend going with the slimmer 37L case on the right side and the 48L case on the left, since the right rack sticks out to clear the exhaust. You can see both options on the product page below. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-pl5108cam-side-case-racks-bmw-r1200gs-adventure-2013-2017
I wear an XL sized helmet. Do you think it would fit in a 48ltr side case? Looking at the cases in store here in the UK I'm not convinced it would fit!
It really depends on the specific model helmet you have. The 48L case is 12 inches wide, so if your helmet is less than about 11 inches wide, it should fit. -DrewZilla
Hello Buddy, very good review. Would you have the part number for that rack? I already have those same side cases from other bike and I'm buying a Tiger XCx, so I just need the rack to install it. Thanks!
To mount Givi Trekker Outback Cases on a Tiger XCx, you would need the PL6401CAM Side Case Racks. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-pl6401cam-side-case-racks-triumph-tiger-800-xc-xr
+Melanie Simpson We cannot call them completely waterproof, but practically speaking, the gaskets at the lid closure definitely keep the rain out. We still recommend you use lightweight dry bags inside the cases for items you need to keep dry. Because they're basically big buckets, we find that if it's raining and you need to open the case when stopped, a bit of rainwater can end up collecting in the bottom of the cases. Givi does make fitted dry bags for the Trekker Outback Cases. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-t512-waterproof-inner-bag-for-trekker-outback-58l-top-case *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-t511-waterproof-inner-bag-for-trekker-outback-42l-top-case *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-t506-waterproof-inner-bag-for-trekker-outback-37l-side-cases *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-t507-waterproof-inner-bag-for-trekker-outback-48l-side-cases
@@RevZilla I have a set of these and they are definitely not waterproof when you get them! I used some self adhesive closed-cell foam house window weather stripping between the lid and the box and now they seem to be OK. At least in the rain they don't leak. The left box collects a lot of condensation when the weather is cool though (like half a cup over a five or six day period). I'm not sure what to do about that. Looking around the internet it turns out that GIVI says THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF, but that you can use their special bags if that's a problem. The bags are actually really nice and you don't have to take the whole box with you when you go inside BUT: For the price of these things I'm really disappointed that they let water in! The last thing I need when I'm travelling is wet gear!
