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 the time being, the most recent updates don't affect functionality and quality: Outback cases are and will remain top notch.
For a moment we thought about organizing a game of 'find the two differences', but for practical reasons we'll leave it as it is. What is different? The four tension strap holders on top of the cases have become more refined, thanks to a plastic element, and the Givi print on the sides of the cases looks slightly different. That's all there is to it.
And to be clear: on this page you are looking at the most recent Outbacks. So with the above changes.
The GIVI Trekker Outback side case is part of the Monokey series and is only suitable as a side case. This is specifically one case, intended for the right side of the motorcycle. In this version it consists of black anodized aluminum. This Trekker Outback is a compact and handy aluminium case that fits perfectly in the current trend of adventurous looking motorcycles. Accessible from above, extremely shock resistant and also powerful and robust in appearance. Sturdy yet elegant and convenient, it comes with numerous accessory options and attachment points (strap holders) to allow additional 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. By default, this 1.5 mm thick aluminum case opens at the top. When these side cases are used in combination with a (large) top case, there is a chance that the lids cannot be opened completely vertically. To make the side case accessible in such a case, the Outbacks are equipped with a special hinge system that allows the lid to be lifted completely. It is equipped with a safety lock and is splashproof. The Trekker Outback is quickly and easily mounted on a mounting plate specially designed for your bike. specially designed for your motorcycle and locked into place. 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. You can find them here. With one single key you control a locking mechanism that both closes and locks the case on the side pannier holder. Each Outback has its own unique key. If you make a combination of two panniers with a different capacity, for example a 37 litre and a 48 litre, these two will not have the same locks/keys. However, it is possible to order a set of two or a set of three locks as an option, so you can open and close all cases with one key. With a capacity of 37 litres this is a narrow and elegant case, which nevertheless offers a lot of storage space. A helmet won't fit though, but it's best to put that on your head anyway during the adventurous rides this case screams about. Who wants larger side cases, better aim for the Trekker Outback 48.
This case has a series of optional accessories:
- Inner bag: due to its complex construction, the Outback case is not guaranteed to be waterproof. The T506 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. Just take out the inner bag (with everything inside) and you're ready to go...
- Stainless steel thermal drinks bottle: real adventurers are sometimes thirsty too. With the holder E162 you can attach up to two thermal drinking bottles to the side of this Outback top 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 stainless steel, the Jerry can is easily attached to this Trekker side case.
- Luggage nets: use the space that the trunk lid inside has to offer.
Mount a luggage net E144 in and store many small items. On top of this 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 E203 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.
