MAXIA 4 top case by Givi

MAXIA is the most popular Monokey top case by Givi, and during more than two decades it has undergone a number of redesigns.

 

Presented at INTERMOT as a 4th generation project, Givi say that this top case has been the number one choice of equipment for every kind of motorcycle or scooter and dates back to 1991, updated in 2000 and again in 2008.

The technical and aesthetic changes made by the GIVI R&D department are numerous and include essentially all the main components of this large top case. These include a newly designed ABS cover, internally strengthened outer edge, covers available in plastic and aluminium, new outer bands, new optical reflectors/unit, with small reflector on the outer band and a 56 litre capacity.

HP Corse

HP Corse Evoxtreme

HP Corse’s newest line of exhausts – the Evoxtreme - was launched during EICMA. Designed for racing use, the new range includes silencers in stainless steel (black or silver) or titanium, all fitted with a carbon fibre end cap with a slash-cut finish. 

The irregular shape of the silencer comes from extensive dyno and track testing to create an exhaust with the least possible restriction. It is being made available in lengths from 260mm to 310mm and with a removable db killer.

Leatt Corporation

Leatt GPX helmet

LEATT has become well known for its range of protective support braces for off-road riders, and it has now expanded its range further with the introduction of the brand new GPX helmet.
Leatt’s GPX helmet is a ground-up design that integrates a host of new innovations in helmet design, which the company states makes it one of the safest helmets on the market. The changes from conventional design include the shell itself, which is available in a choice of carbon fibre or composite materials and meets ECE2205/DOT, ACU Gold, AS/NZS 1698-2006 standards. For the GPX, Leatt has reduced the volume of the outer. This change is said to reduce momentum and rotation to the head and brain, as well as transferred neck forces. By bringing the volume down by 20 percent, Leatt says it can reduce the momentum and the rotational energy to the head, brain and neck in the event of an accident by up to 40 percent.

Inside the shell of the GPX, rather than the more usual foam impact protection, Leatt uses its own 3D in-moulded V-foam, which is multiple density and is said to offer greater protection during medium- and high-energy impacts.
To help protect the wearer in the event of low-energy impacts, the final innovation used in the GPX is the Leatt 360-degree Turbine technology. The 360-degree Turbines are small polymer discs placed around the inside of the helmet that deform on impact to absorb energy at concussion level and improve protection

against multiple impacts. Leatt states that initial laboratory testing of the Turbine technology has shown a 30-50 percent reduction in energy transfer to the head at concussion level, and that the turbine design allows movement of the outer shell during impact, limiting the rotational forces to the skull and brain by up to 20 percent.
Given that Leatt specialises in braces to protect the rider, the GPX helmet features an optimised rear cut for correct clearance, a rear hyperextension impact platform and unique helmet rim contour to match the company’s neck braces.
An additional feature of the GPX is the inclusion of fittings for a hydration system, and Leatt has an optional internal hydration hands-free kit available.

The use of 360-degree Turbine technology is a new innovation in the Leatt GPX helmet that is said to reduce energy transfer to the rider’s head in accidents, reducing injury risk

CNC Racing

Ducati 'cush-drive' hub flange and ring gear

CNC Racing is continuing to expand its line of aftermarket billet aluminium parts for Ducati models with the introduction of an Ergal ring gear with a six-hole ring gear flange, which has been designed as a quick and low cost replacement for original ring gear teeth.
The kit includes the hard anodised Ergal ring gear, six screws, and six light alloy nuts treated with surface colour anodising.

The kit can be used as a replacement for the original ring gear, or with different pitch and teeth, in addition to replacing the torque limiter and the nuts with a lighter part.
The ring gear can only be supplied in black, due to the hard deep anodising treatment it is subjected to, which ensures long lasting endurance. The ring gear holder and nuts are available in three standard colours: black, gold and red. The colours of the torque limiter and the nuts can be selected individually.

Dainese

Dainese acquired by Bahrain's Investcorp

MOTORCYCLE apparel maker Dainese has been acquired by Investcorp, a "leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products".

Investcorp has acquired an 80 percent stake in the specialist Italian business at a price that values the business at €130 million, with founder Lino Dainese retaining a minority stake in the company alongside Investcorp.

Lino Dainese: the man behind the legendary brand

Founded in 1972, Dainese has been one of the most "recognised and respected brands for safety and quality in the motorcycle and other dynamic sports markets. Originally famed for its competitive motorcycling racing wear, Dainese has subsequently diversified its product range and today provides protective gear for road and racing use alike, as well as for use in winter sports, biking and horse riding.

In addition, through the AGV brand name, Dainese is also one of the leading protective helmet manufacturers for the motorcycle market.

Through its Dainese Technology Centre (D-Tec), an R&D technical centre "for the study of protective technology and the development of innovative products", the company says that it can ensure that it "remains at the forefront of innovation".
Lino Dainese is credited with inventing products such as back protectors, knee sliders and the Dainese air bag (D-Air), an "intelligent" protection system that recognises and responds to a  dangerous fall by deploying special airbags around motorcyclists’ bodies.
About the deal, Lino Dainese is quoted as saying "it was hugely important for us to find the right partner in this period of strong development for the company. I believe that Investcorp’s proven track record, global presence and network will support the company’s continued international expansion and product innovation.
"I also believe that their support will enable me to refocus on my passion, driving forward technological advances in our product line and, in particular, the D-Air system.”

Nine-times MotoGP World Champion and Dainese-supported rider Valentino Rossi

Hazem Ben-Gacem, Head of Investcorp’s European corporate investment team, said:
“We are honoured to have the trust and confidence of Mr Dainese and to be the custodian of this exceptional business. Dainese is an iconic brand with a track record of leadership in a multi-billion dollar market. It is exactly the type of company we look to invest in: a founder managed successful business looking for a partner for the next phase of growth."
Investcorp was founded in the early 1980's at the behest of the AMF (Arab Monetary Fund) and is publicly traded on the Bahrain Bourse (INVCORP). It has offices in London, New York, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, and has three primary business areas - corporate investment in the US, Europe and the Gulf, real estate investment in the US, and global hedge funds. As at June 30, 2014, Investcorp had $11.4 billion in total assets under management. Providers of what founder Nemir Kirdar famously once described as "silent capital", Investcorp's involvements down the years have included several luxury brands such as Tiffany and Gucci, Saks Fifth Avenue, Circle K, Helly Hansen, CSK Auto, Apcoa and American Tire Distributors.
