'Maxia 5' top case
Presented as a preview at last year's EICMA, Maxia, GIVI's top of the range Monokey model, is now available in its fifth version since its inception in 1991. At 58 litres, this is the largest top case ever designed by GIVI, taking three years to develop.
The design features "embossing, clean lines and on-trend colour combinations", with the modern front design that is emphasised by aerodynamic elements such as the horizontally running reflector and the workmanship of the two lower covers, reminiscent of sports extractors.
The Maxia 5 features four painted covers (two upper and two lower), a soft mat applied to the base, a mesh and elasticated strap, and a security lock. The covers are available in aluminium or black, with red or transparent reflectors.
In terms of technology, "the larger the case, the greater its structural rigidity must be". Until now this has meant inserting ribs at strategic points in the shells, reducing the internal space. Instead, GIVI now machines the lid and bottom moulds undercut, which also reduces weight. This means the internal frame is more rigid and with fewer constraints in terms of shape. Streamlined lines and curves do not affect the sturdiness of the structure, and two 'bulges' cut into the sides of the lid allow easier positioning of helmets. The usually flat rear is now curved.
This new structure also improves the fit between the two shells, enhancing the overall aesthetics and security against break-ins. Rear strengthened 'comb' hinges allow the lid to stay open at the desired angle, also removing the need for retention cables. The opening system is also improved and includes a carrying handle. Closure is by simply pressing down on the lid.
The maximum load is 10 kg (excluding the top case) and the dimensions are 598 x 494 x 321 mm (LxDxH). The case weighs 5.4 kg. Optional accessories include an inner bag T522, a backrest E235S and an internal document pocket E236.
