Standing still is going backwards and especially on a motorcycle, 'forward' is still the best option. Givi knows that too, so they gave (in 2018) all Outback cases an update. For now, the most recent changes do not affect functionality and quality: Outback cases are and will remain top class.
We thought for a moment to organize a game of "find the two differences", but for practical reasons we'll leave it as it is. What's different? The four strap holders on top of the cases are more refined, thanks to a plastic element, and the Givi print on the sides of the cases looks slightly different. That's all.
With many (and also this) cases of GIVI an extra (third) lock is included. When you install that in your (existing) top case, you have a complete case set that can be operated with one single key. Easy and practical.
And just to be clear: on this page you are looking at the most recent Outbacks. With the above changes so.
The GIVI Trekker Outback side case is part of the Monokey series and is only suitable as a side case. This is a package of two cases, with the intention of mounting them as side cases left and right. Both cases are made of black anodized aluminum. The Trekker Outbacks are compact and convenient aluminum cases that fit perfectly into today's trend of adventure-looking motorcycles. Accessible from above, highly shock resistant and also powerful and robust in appearance. Sturdy yet elegant and practical, they offer a range of accessory options and attachment points (strap holders) to allow extra luggage to be carried on top of the case. The Outback range comprises a number of different top and pannier sizes, allowing you to create your own set. Interesting for asymmetrically built motorcycles: by mounting the 37 on the side with the exhaust and the 48 on the side without the exhaust, the problem of asymmetry is often solved. Please note: this package consists of two 48 litre panniers. By default each 1.5 mm thick aluminium case opens at the top. When these cases are used in combination with a (large) top case, there is a chance that the lids cannot be opened completely vertically. In order to make the side case accessible, the Outbacks are equipped with a special hinge system that allows the lid to be lifted completely. Each case is equipped with a safety lock and is splash proof. The Trekker Outbacks are quickly and easily clicked onto a specially designed mounting kit for your bike. The mounting can only be done with a PL-CAM rack. These racks are heavier than the regular PL-racks, and are equipped with the Cam-Side mounting system. With a single key you operate a locking mechanism that both closes and locks the cases on the side pannier holder. A carrying handle on each side makes it easy to carry the cases to and from the bike. With a capacity of two times 48 litres, these are more than adequate side cases for any adventure, anywhere. This package will take you around the world. Closer to home any helmet will fit without a problem and you'll even have a lot of space left over. Who is looking for side cases on a slightly smaller scale can also opt for the Trekker Outback 37.
A series of optional accessories exist for this case:
- Inner bag: Due to its complex construction, an Outback case is not guaranteed to be waterproof. The T507 waterproof inner bag is. An inner bag also ensures greater comfort. If you want to check in at a hotel, you don't have to take the entire case to the room. Simply remove the inner bag (with everything inside) from your suitcase and you're ready to go...
- Stainless steel thermal drinks bottle: real adventurers are sometimes thirsty too. With the holder E162 or E199 you can attach up to two thermal drinking bottles to the side of this Outback side case .
- Security lock: this case is already equipped with a security lock as standard. Got multiple cases? Replace all the locks on all the cases and lock them all with the same key.
- Reflective stickers: to make you more visible in the dark, a set of E145 reflective stickers is available. In vertical position, they fit perfectly on the flattened corners of these cases.
- Cargo bag: on top of this Outback Trekker, an additional cargo bag GRT714B or EA120 can be mounted with a set of tension straps S351. Besides the GRT714B, there's another kart bag available: the XL01B.
- Plastic Jerrycan: a water, oil or petrol supply of 2.5l can be carried in the GIVI Jerrycan. With the E205 holder in inox, the Jerry can is easily attached to this Trekker side case.
- Extra grip: that the Outback 48l is a tough guy does not need a story. The extra handle E143 makes transporting this case a lot easier.
- Luggage nets: use the space inside the lid to your advantage. Mount a luggage net E144 and store lots of small items. On top of the case the luggage net T10N can be easily attached.
- A backpack: T521 with a capacity of 15 litres that can be stored in the top of the case.
- Interior lining: This E204 lining in soft neoprene will keep your luggage and the inside of your suitcase looking fresh for longer.
Care instructions: as this case is made of untreated aluminium, it requires slightly more maintenance than a plastic case. For cleaning these cases we recommend S100 Moto Wash. NEVER use maintenance products that contain acids or other corrosive substances. Such products cause dark stains which are very difficult to remove afterwards.
Watertightness: the GIVI side cases and top cases are not waterproof. They were awarded an IPX4 rating. Having the right expectations always helps prevent disappointment.
