Givi announced at the recent EICMA show that it has two new bags— the GRT723 and the GRT724—coming soon to its Canyon adventure-bike line of soft luggage.
The lightweight GRT723 top case (pictured below) has a roll-top closure and integrated MOLLE straps. Its capacity is 40 liters, it comes with a removable, waterproof bag, and it has a semi-rigid base for use with Givi’s lockable Monokey mounting system.
The 12-liter GRT724—also with a roll-top closure—has straps for universal mounting and also has two side handles and a shoulder strap for easy carrying.
Here is the complete press release from Givi:
Canyon is the line of soft bags that Givi has dedicated to motorcyclists who love off-roading with all the gear. The products are particularly technical designed for hard use. The new GRT723 top case offers an additional advantage, the lightness of a soft bag combined with the Monokey fixing system, which is normally used on hard cases. The GRT724 saddlebag is also being previewed at EICMA, another new piece in the range.
With the arrival of these two models, the Canyon line goes from 11 to 13 different bags, all made to be used primarily on Adventure motorcycles. This complete range will meet every need a rider can have.
GRT723
Creating a soft top case with a semi-rigid base that supports the Monokey fixing system is a winning idea. The Canyon GRT723 is the top of the line for this new hybrid philosophy which allows a soft bag to take the place that is usually reserved for hard top cases.
This new top case fits perfectly into the Canyon specialty line. Aesthetically, it is compact and rectangular, and its main roll top closure hides the internal capacity, which can reach up to 40 liters when fully loaded.
On the outside, we find an adjustable upper flap, equipped on the back with a mesh pocket and the classic extra-cargo fixing points featured by the M.O.L.L.E. system. Adjustable straps with clamp closure maintain the tension. Additional straps with hook and loop closure are visible at the ends, making it possible to attach additional loads.
On the inside, the bag comes standard with a fluorescent yellow, removable, waterproof bag with a roll-up closure. A shoulder strap and handle are included.
The semi-rigid base is built to house the fixing plate with the Monokey system.
GRT724
Even more versatile than the previous version, this heat-sealed bag is designed as a rear saddle bag, but in reality its characteristics, including a 12-liter internal capacity, also make it suitable for fixing to an aluminum side case (straps are supplied) or within the spaces made available by the Canyon GRT721 bag base. It can also be used with the GRT723.
Moving on to the description, you immediately notice the details of the closure, made with a double roll top. There are also fastening straps with Duraflex® cam buckles to ensure the proper strap tension. The two side handles for easy carrying are great, but there’s also a shoulder strap!
