givi vs oem panniers

[gianco80]

hi!
i have givi trekker outback aluminium side panniers,
i fitted these panniers on last three bike i had,
each side pannier is 37 liter.

on each bike i changed the mounting rack.
i choose these because i can adapt to each new bike only changing the mounting struts.

now with the new 2021 s1000xr,
i’m tempted to buy oem side panniers, because i like it and these haven’t a mounting strut

i seen each has 31 liter capacity.

i’m not sure if do it….

Get the Givi quick-release racks?   They only take around 1 minute to remove or refit.

I have the shad panniers on my gen2 - half the price of oem panniers and 36 litres each pannier.

the racks need some bolt to be screwed

it is very easy to do - remove BMW rails, add very small Givi parts for the Quick Release fittings. These parts are very discrete on the bikes.

I have a number of Givi cases, all standard Monokey and mix & match as required. Mostly, I use a 45 litre topbox and a pair of E21 side cases as they are narrow and allow me to filter in traffic.

Your cases seem the be the more robust CAM cases but there is a quick release kit to use with the rails
