GIVI S.p.A., commonly known as GIVI, is an Italian manufacturer specializing in premium motorcycle accessories, luggage systems, and rider equipment. Established in 1978 in Flero, Brescia, Italy, the company has grown into one of the most recognized names in the global motorcycle accessory market. GIVI serves riders in over 85 countries through a comprehensive network of manufacturing plants, subsidiaries, distributors, and authorized dealers. The brand is particularly noted for its innovative hard luggage solutions, including the proprietary MONOKEY® and MONOLOCK® mounting technologies.1

GIVI was founded in 1978 by Giuseppe Visenzi, a former Grand Prix motorcycle racer. Prior to his career as an entrepreneur, Visenzi competed in the 350cc Motorcycle World Championship, achieving a third-place finish in the 1969 season. Following his retirement from professional racing, he applied his track experience to designing practical accessories aimed at enhancing everyday motorcycle riding.2

The company initially produced metal engine guards before rapidly expanding into luggage systems that would significantly influence the motorcycle touring segment.
