TRAVEL IN COMFORT HE SPECIAL GIVI S410 TROLLEY captions 1) WITH THE TROLLEY BASE CREATED BY GIVI, IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO CARRY BULKY, HEAVY CASES AS WELL AS SMALLER CASES USED FOR TRANSPORTING AND STORING HELMETS AND EVERYDAY ITEMS. by Davide Calzolari O n one hand, the use of a motor- cycle for commuting or holidays is characterised by the ability to go almost anywhere, but it does have some underestimated disadvantages, themost important being the transpor- tation of luggage. It can be not only inconvenient but also irritating to detach a case from a motorcycle and have to carry it by hand or empty its contents into other containers. The intelligent solution is provided by GIVI, with the invention of the Universal Trolley Base, an accessory dedicated to those who want to use amotorcycle top casewith the same benefits and convenience of a suitcase onwheels! Thanks to the unique Trolley Base, it is no longer necessary to transfer the contents of a top case into an alternative case or bag for ease of transportation. Simply detach the plate, extend the retractable handle and hey presto, as if bymagic, you have a large container that can be easily transported anywhere and on returning to themo- torcycle, it can be rapidly re-attached to the fitting plate, ready to return to its original function. Comfort is not just a philosophy: those who regularly tra- vel by motorcycle have experienced the discomfort and inconvenience of having to relocate cargo. On arrival at a destination, still wearingmotorcycle clothing, a helmet, gloves and possibly carrying a rucksack, even covering a fewmeters on foot can be an arduous task, but with the GIVI Trolley Base in tow, even the pillion will be smiling. The Trolley Base is not just made to carry a top case, it can be easily used with any GIVI soft bag thanks to the incorporated six anchor points that have been designed to be used with the hooks of an elasticated net. The Design Teamhas considered robustness as well as practicality and the trolley has been constructed from reinforced resin. The wheels are mounted onto silent bearings that can be easily re- placed once worn and the retractable handle ismade of aluminium. The fee- ling of a solid andwell-made product is also evident by the lack of movement between the various component parts. The Universal Trolley Base can be used onmotorcycles, scooters or any other means of transportation that is equipped with aMONOKEYplate and the Trolley Base is compatiblewith all MONOKEY cases. As a security feature, the addition of a Security Lockwill deter thieves and the lock can be matched with those used in GIVI luggage. The price of the Trolley Base is 135 Euros.
