GIVI XSpace - expandable top cases

Italian specialist GIVI describes its new XSpace ('Extra Space') Monokey top case range as a "new frontier in expandable top case" design that "combines everyday compactness with long-distance touring expandability.

The primary feature is a patented telescopic system that "ensures practicality and security, together with refined craftsmanship and the customary 'Made in Italy' GIVI quality.

"Intended to redefine versatility without compromise, this has been a project aimed at reshaping the very concept of load capacity through an advanced design approach that seamlessly combines compact dimensions for daily riding with instant expandability for longer journeys."

Part of GIVI's ongoing evolution, this innovation "represents both our forward-thinking vision - bringing technologically advanced solutions to the global market - and a tribute to our heritage. Since 1978, we have developed products with a strong focus on materials, safety, and compatibility with ever-changing requirements. 

"These are the pillars of our growth, together with meticulous attention to detail and the development of highly reliable solutions characterised by recognized Italian craftsmanship," said Umberto Visenzi, member of the Board of Directors of GIVI.

From a technical standpoint, XSpace integrates a patented mechanical system that enables telescopic expansion of the case with the lid open - in a single operation, without the need to remove or unload contents. The mechanism is engineered to ensure precise movement, structural integrity, and long-term durability.

The system is also designed to prevent any accidental or unauthorised activation when the motorcycle is parked.

The dual configuration 27 litre Compact mode maintains reduced dimensions while "ensuring aerodynamic efficiency, stability, and riding comfort, especially in urban environments."

The 36 litre Expanded mode offers some 33 percent extra capacity and can accommodate one XXL GIVI modular helmet (ECE 22.06) with peak.

Features include a Patented Monokey mounting system and Patented internal rack mechanism for enhanced stability; impact-, UV-, and weather-resistant materials; guaranteed water resistance - even in the expanded mode; integrated carry handles for easy transport; BMW key system compatibility and optional Smart Security Lock system.

"Premium materials ensure lightweight construction, strength, and long-term durability while the external expansion system guarantees intuitive and safe operation." It is available in black with anodised aluminium cover or a total black version (non-aluminium).

Polini brake discs

Italian scooter parts specialist Polini has expanded its range of brake discs with a line dedicated to scooters, maxi scooters, enduro, and 50 cc Motard bikes.

Designed to offer a tangible upgrade that is easy to install and immediately noticeable while riding, they provide a solution that combines braking performance, build quality, and a distinctive technical design.

Made from AISI 420 steel, Polini brake discs feature a unique outer profile created through laser cutting, heat treatment, and precision machining with CNC production systems. "The result is a precise and reliable construction, engineered to ensure consistent performance even under the most demanding conditions.

"During braking, the benefits translate into quicker response, improved modulation and greater vehicle control. The disc structure promotes more effective cooling, manages thermal expansion at high temperatures and ensures optimal resistance even under extreme stress, while also optimising brake pads performance.

"The positioning of the scraping grooves is designed to keep the brake pads cleaner and more efficient, while compatibility with all types of friction materials enhances versatility. The disc also features a minimum thickness marking, allowing immediate wear inspection and precise identification of the correct replacement time."

Where applicable, the oversized design delivers increased braking power, further enhancing overall performance. With the expansion of the range to include the maxi scooter segment, Polini strengthens an increasingly broad and versatile offering that combines engineering, performance and reliability.

MotoGP - pulling in the cash

You can tell that MotoGP (Dorna Sports / MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group) is now under US ownership (Liberty Media, Colorado) by the number of lucrative vendor endorsement and partnership relationships that are being built.

It is a classic US sports business model, one previously less rigorously pursued by European based organisations (FIFA aside) but one that has been assiduously adhered to in the US motorcycle industry by the likes of MotoAmerica and AMA Racing's AFT Flat Track series.

Here in Europe Dorna/MotoGP recently stepped up its nascent relationship with Vmoto, with the collaboration giving rise to a new range of three Special Edition electric scooters being launched under a Global Partnership agreement.

"Under a worldwide agreement with MotoGP's commercial rights holder, MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, Vmoto will design, produce and distribute three unique scooter models inspired by the world's leading motorcycle racing championship. The scooters will be available globally through Vmoto's existing international distributor network."

The limitededition scooters will feature official MotoGP branding and styling, combining Vmoto's advanced electric technology with the spirit and performance DNA of the championship.

As part of the agreement, Vmoto will play an active role across MotoGP's global events and platforms, including showcasing vehicles at selected races across Europe, introducing fastcharging and batteryswapping technology at key locations, and creating global marketing campaigns using official MotoGP content.

"This is a landmark agreement for Vmoto and we are very proud that MotoGP, the highest class of motorcycle road racing championship, associate its brand with Vmoto's two-wheel electric vehicles. The deal will allow MotoGP's significant fanbase to have the opportunity to access electric mobility supplied by Vmoto and allow Vmoto to significantly raise Vmoto's brand and product awareness, and drive sales growth for the Company."
