PRO GuIDe EXHIBITOR Sport-T side cases EXHIBITOR Celebrating its 40th anniversary, GIVI’s new ST604 side cases are an addition to the company’s Sport-T range. They are a thermoformed option for fast bikes, streamlined and expandable and sold as a pair. They use the Multilock latch/unlatch system and are attached to the bike using a TST specific frame. Said to “represent the perfect synthesis between rigid cases and soft bags, with which they share many features such as functionality, sturdiness, lightness and ease of transport”, the cases are made of thermoformed EVA coated in polyester and each have a 22 litre capacity. The storage space is accessed using the zippered extension, supported by retractable straps that retain the overall shape of the bag. Further features include an anatomic grip carrying handle, reflective lateral inserts and zipper pulls, ready to accommodate a padlock. Internally there is a strap to support the lid, mesh compartments and looped inner elastic straps. A rain cover is also included. Measuring 340 x 300 x 450 mm (HxDxL), the maximum storage load is 4 kg for each bag. UV- resistant materials are used, compliant to ISO 4892-2:3013 directive (1,500 hours exposure in Q- Sun Xenon test chamber). GIVI S.R.L.

Delivered fully assembled with wear resistant and friction reducing coating, it has an inner brake drum made in Ergal that is equipped with an anti-hopping device, trimmed discs, steel discs, springs and Ergal disc pushers. Developed from their MX, Enduro and Supermotard race experience, the ‘anti-hopping’ device is designed to handle the rapid and aggressive deceleration that occurs when strong braking is required and the effect this can have on the rear wheel, forcing it to ‘hop’, and the grip loss this generates. The disc pusher moving in the device takes some charge and energy off the springs and creates a temporary clutch sliding, meaning the rider can keep the bike steady, maintain precision steering in a bend and avoid any change in trajectory created by rear wheel ‘hopping’ or vibrations – improving road holding and safety. The nine trimmed discs which compose the clutch are covered with special materials for off-road competitions. The reduced coefficient of friction is said to result in improved tyre stability and excellent resistance to high temperature and abrasion in the clutch. The improvement in transmission of engine power to the rear tyre and surface means reduced loss of power and stability. The complete kit is an easy install and comes with variable response springs to cater for different demands. SURFLEX S.R.L.
