A top box, or hardtail bag as some call them, allows riders to bring personal items without having to carry them on their person while riding. Aside from being stylish, it is also a convenient and secure way to store items even when one is parked and away from their bike. It can store important gear, valuables, electronics, extra clothes, or even a helmet if needed.
Origins
GIVI top box is the number 1 touring accessories brand of choice among motorcycle enthusiasts. Staying true to the core of a true-blue rider, this Italian brand of motorcycle accessories was founded by former Italian Grand Prix motorcycle road racer Giuseppe Visenzi (hence, GIVI) in Brescia, Italy. Vicenzi’s best year was in 1969 when he finished third in the 350cc World Championship.
After Visenzi retired from racing at the end of the 1970 season, his passion for motorcycles fueled his desire to improve the riding experience for other enthusiasts. In 1983, working from a small factory in his hometown, he invented the first motorcycle top case and named it the GIVI E34. With this product, he revolutionized “travel on two wheels” and launched the modern-day motorcycle accessories business. Through the years, GIVI’s product range has grown to include hard bags (like the tank bag, saddle bag, and tail bag), soft bags (such as the backpack and waist pack), windscreens, helmets, and specific accessories that aim to meet motorcyclists’ every need. All GIVI motorcycle accessories are produced in company-owned manufacturing facilities located in various countries worldwide.

Why GIVI top boxes?
GIVI’s top cases are the result of over twenty years of experience in designing and manufacturing motorcycle accessories. With impeccable details and lines that blend harmoniously with the design of the motorcycle, GIVI offers storage solutions to cater to the needs of every type of biker.
Its brand-patented MONOKEY and MONOLOCK systems which lock the box itself to the motorcycle mount and the system that closes the box, are both top-notch. The locks are hard to tamper with unless broken with brute force and are also known to be so secure that they do not usually open and spill their contents even in the event of a motorcycle crash.
GIVI top boxes are made of either plastic or aluminum, are waterproof and aerodynamic, and come in different designs and sizes.
