P100 PRODUCT REVIEW I GIVI GRAVEL-T GRT709 35-LITER SADDLEBAGS T here are several companies out there making soft luggage for dual-sport and ADV bikes, but none with the pedigree that GIVI can boast. GIVI has been mak- ing motorcycle luggage for over 35 years. They're known best for their hard top cases and panniers, but with the ever-increasing popularity of soft luggage for adventure bikes, they created the Gravel-T lineup. Fea- turing Italian design and craftsmanship, the GRT709 35-liter saddlebags are made from high-resistance 1200 W/R polyester. They also incorporate a high-density polyethyl- ene backing, which keeps the bags rigid and provides a mounting point to attach to the included nylon plate for mounting on com- mon loop-style ADV pannier racks. Each saddlebag features a removable inner bag made from Hypalon, which is a water- proof synthetic rubber material engineered to be resistant to chemicals, extreme tem- peratures, and UV. A convenient document The GIVI Gravel-T GRT709 35-Liter Saddle- bags impressed us so much we won't go ADV riding without them anymore.
