With this updated version of the universal Canyon side bag set, which fits all Monokey side case racks, GIVI still targets motorbike adventurers and tourers. Whether you're riding a lightweight enduro or a heavyweight adventure bike, it hardly makes a difference. High-end technical features, combined with a great look and wrapped in a soft-luggage design, make it a solid choice for any journey.
These flexible side bags are waterproof and made from hard-wearing ripstop polyester. Add in some 1680D fabric, a PU coating, UV-resistance, and Hypalon finishing, and you get a seriously high-quality list of materials. The GRT720B Canyon Monokey side bags can take a few tumbles and handle a round-the-world trip before you might—possibly, maybe, if it comes to that—need to give them a break. Tough gear, that’s for sure.
Don’t be fooled by their softer appearance—these are proper adventure bags. Even after the update, the Canyon collection still boasts excellent waterproofing features, further highlighted by the typical roll-up closures and the internal, sand-coloured waterproof storage compartment.
These BRT720B Monokey side bags are angular roll bags, each offering 25 litres of usable storage space. A single compartment per bag, with the added bonus of an extra zipped pocket hidden under the additional ‘cover’ at the front (the side facing the bike). This semi-soft cover is made of a tougher PVC, adding both protection and structure.
The GRT720B Canyon provides a total of 50 litres of storage capacity as standard—perhaps not a huge amount (maximum 10 kg) if you're planning a round-the-world trip, but more than enough for motorbike journeys of less than two months. Plus, the GRT720B Canyon allows for plenty of combination options. The M.O.L.L.E system gives you all the flexibility you need, and the eight horizontal straps can just as easily be used to attach other bags, roll bags, or sleeping bags.
GIVI has done a great job updating the design, materials, and technical features. The mounting is, of course, designed for a GIVI Monokey side case rack.
The Security Lock key can be made compatible with your top case or tool box locks, saving you from carrying a bunch of keys. Not that a setup like this should ever be a hassle in the first place.
Lastly, the ergonomic handle, ample reflective material and strategically placed openings to let any trapped moisture escape round off the package perfectly. Or round up.
