I am a huge fan of luggage on the right bike. Both my BMW F650 GS and the Honda VFR800 have Givi monokey pannier racks panniers and top boxes. With that said, I wouldn’t dream of fitting them to the Suzuki GSXR or the Yamaha FZ6.
Knowing my love for all things motorbike, Givi reached out and sorted me out with a set of PL9051 side case holders and a pair of E22N panniers for the Interceptor. I think panniers are like battery power tools, once you have one, you stick with them because they all fit and work together.
Givi’s journey began in 1978 when Giuseppe Visenzi, a former MotoGP racer, transitioned from the racetrack to the world of entrepreneurship. Driven by his passion for motorcycles, he started designing innovative accessories crafted to meet the needs of riders.
Over the years, the brand has evolved into a global leader in motorcycle gear, renowned for its unwavering commitment to safety, passion, and fostering a strong sense of community among riders.
Anyway, back to the interceptor. The fitment of the racks was quite simple, using only a basic tools (flat blade screwdriver, 8mm, 10mm & 12mm sockets and ratchet, 4mm hex, 12mm & 19mm spanner). I did not time the installation, however I guess it was less than 45 minutes and that’s including unboxing and having a brew.
After looking at the market, there isn’t any other panniers to my mind that suit the interceptor shape as well as the E22’s. They have a maximum capacity of 22 litres in each case, more than enough for a weekend away and the dimensions will take a laptop and other equipment. They are lightweight easy to fit and remove with additional products that includes inner bags (which I will be purchasing soon). One other thing to mention is the side holder rack is a perfect colour match for the frame of the Royal Enfield.
