- GIVI develops dedicated hard cases and soft luggage for Himalayan 750
- New mounting arrangement integrates luggage without bulky external racks
Royal Enfield has a new collaboration with Italian motorcycle accessories manufacturer GIVI to develop dedicated luggage solutions for the recently launched Himalayan 750. These will be specially designed hard cases and soft bags that integrate with the motorcycle’s bodywork reducing the need for conventional mounting structures. The new luggage system has already been introduced on the flagship Antarctic Silver variant of the Himalayan 750, which is priced at £8,699 in the UK and €9,290 in Italy. We’ll have to see if and how do these cases make it to the Indian market. Could be official through RE, or through aftermarket suppliers.
The design allows the luggage to integrate more naturally with the motorcycle without requiring a separate conventional mounting rack. This should help maintain a cleaner appearance while reducing the complexity associated with installing aftermarket luggage.
Hard luggage package includes a pair of side panniers and a rear top box supported by dedicated mounting hardware. The panniers also come with inner bags allowing riders to remove their belongings without detaching the complete cases from the motorcycle.
GIVI has also developed soft luggage options for the Himalayan 750. These should appeal to riders who prefer a more flexible carrying arrangement when travelling over uneven terrain. Soft bags are generally easier to manage during demanding off-road riding and can offer greater flexibility when packing irregularly shaped items.
Flagship Antarctic Silver variant receives the most comprehensive touring equipment in the UK and Italian markets. Apart from the dedicated GIVI top box and hard panniers, it includes heated grips, handguards and an aluminium skid plate.
