3 GIVI MAGAZINE Number 5 November 2010 Publication licensed by the Brescia Court, N. 17 dated 27/02/2009 GIVI srl Via S. Quasimodo, 45 25020 Flero (Brescia) www.givi.it Editor-in-chief: Giampaolo Meda Contributors: Jean Pierre Bonato Erika Fiameni Michele Losito Annalia Martinelli Israel Medrano Maya Plata Rossella Rosciano Graphic design: Ufficio Comunicazione Info.magazine@givi.it New releases featuring safety and practicality GIVI’s perpetual commitment to innovation and also to cater for our client demands means that, this year, we will once again be showca- sing several new releases at the INTERMOT and EICMA exhibitions. These products are marked by their original concept and the atten- tion to detail, but still feature our inherent sa- fety, quality and practicality standards. For example, with GIVI’s Tanklock patented tank fastening system, no magnetic limpets are required; instead the rapid lock and release mechanical seal, which is available for different tanks, protects credit cards and mobile phones against demagnetization. Shortly, new 3D semi-rigid textile side panniers will be launched, with a mechanical quick rele- ase locking mechanism, perfect for sports bi- kes, because they complement the clean lines of the vehicle. In addition, they can be used on scooters. They are capacious, accommoda- ting 15 litres each. There are more surprises in the pipeline: we are expanding the Monolock case range with two higher capacity products; 32 and 47 litres, with an eye-catching design and additional convenience, in fact they will be equipped with a remote control opening mechanism. This project, which is close to heart and personally involves me, is one in which I, together with my collaborators, have utmost faith. In short, we are striving to design products which break the traditional moulds, because habits and attitu- des evolve and GIVI intends to anticipate the future, supplying pertinent and timely products to the market. Another GIVI exclusive, which we are passio- nate about, is the long awaited Trekker range for powerful enduro bikes, in the 33 and 46 litre formats, made of waterproof thermoplasticma- terial with anodized aluminium finish; they are characterized by a modular lid, featuring partial access through a supplementary flip up hatch, to be able to access the contents without ope- ning the luggage completely. An additional hi- ghlight of the Trekker is that, if it is mounted on the side, you don’t have to take it off the bike. Often the side bags are used to store a series of articles, rain suits, boot covers, etc. and to get to what you need, you often have to empty the entire compartment. Now with the Trekker range, it’s a simple manoeuvre. Just some small details that, we at GIVI are aware, are really important for motorcyclists. All these products and many others cannot be described in words and would require complex illustrations. So in alternative, we have decided to provide demonstrative videos, both on our website www.givi.it and in the on-line magazi- ne. Given the increasingly international evolution of our house organ and the positive respon- se of its readers, we have supplemented the magazine with articles, interviews and features which give a global panorama of the GIVI brand in the world. In fact, GIVI is present in all con- tinents. Another item which we are pleased to announce is the GIVI Smartphone application: today, more than ever before, we are commit- ted to taking advantage of state of the art tech- nology to communicate with our clients, as you will read in the following pages.
