Giant Loop will preview its 2014 product line at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy this week, introducing several new products and significant product updates that expand the company’s modular American-made component-based soft luggage concept. Giant Loop is exhibiting in the U.S. Pavilion, Hall 2, Stand G15, with Beta “Adventure” and Honda Africa Twin “Super Special” display motorcycles provided by Italy’s Boano Racing.
New for 2014:
Possibles Pouch
This pouch adds 2-liter easy access storage capacity to Giant Loop saddlebags and panniers — and any other secure attachment point. It is made in the U.S.A. with 18 oz. vinyl coated polyester Bomb Shell construction, beefy YKK coil zipper protected by 14 oz. vinyl coated polyester storm flap, multiple MOLLE-style webbing lash points and reflective tabs for visibility. The Possibles Pouch is named for the leather pouches carried by frontier explorers to keep critical gear, or “possibles,” in one handy location.
Buckin’ Roll Tank Bag
This Buckin’ Roll Tank Bag was completely re-envisioned and redesigned for 2014, it fits virtually any motorcycle and keeps all the essentials handy and out of the way when standing on the footpegs. The Buckin’ Roll Tank Bag consists of three components, which can be used individually or in any combination: harness, center case and pannier pockets. The pannier pockets also can be added to Giant Loop’s 2014 Fandango/Diablo Tank Bags. The 2-liter center case secures to the harness with cam buckle straps. The two 2-liter Pannier Pockets attach to tank, shrouds or engine guards. The Buckin’ Roll Tank Bag is named for saddle pads used by rodeo cowboys.
Fandango Tank Bag Pro
Giant Loop’s largest tank bag’s (8 liters) major updates focus on expandability, electronics compatibility and features driven by rider feedback. An electronics pass-through enables on-bike charging and power inside the tank bag and/or the clear vinyl map pocket top. The Fandango’s underside includes a concealed document pocket, and two separate side zippers for easy mounting to harness. Its full length interior lining with hook-and-loop accepting fabric, movable divider with elastic tire pressure gauge holder and slots, exterior mesh pocket and D-ring mounts for new optional Buckin’ Roll pannier pockets (2 liters each side) are key new features. Fuel fills are now easily accessed by simply unzipping either side from the harness, and the concave front allows vent hoses to breath. It fits virtually any motorcycle, including dirt, dual sport, adventure and sport machines with metallic or non-metallic tanks/shrouds.
Diablo Tank Bag Pro
The Diablo Tank Bag (4 liters) updates are similar to its larger cousin, the Fandango Tank Bag, while remaining true to its minimalist, slim, trim design. An electronics pass-through enables on-bike charging and power inside the tank bag and/or the clear vinyl map pocket top. Its full interior lining with hook-and-loop accepting fabric, movable divider with elastic tire pressure gauge holder, exterior mesh pocket and D-ring mounts for new optional Buckin’ Roll pannier pockets (2 liters each side) are key new features. Fuel fills are now easily accessed by simply unzipping either side from the harness, and the concave front allows vent hoses to breath. The Diablo Tank Bag Pro fits virtually any motorcycle, including dirt, dual sport, adventure and sport machines with metallic or non-metallic tanks/shrouds.

Late season 2013:
Several late-season 2013 introductions will also be shown to the European motorcycle industry and consumers for the first time at the EICMA show. Two double-ended waterproof roll-tops, the Tillamook Dry Bag (38 liters) and the Rogue Dry Bag (17 liters), add rugged storage to Giant Loop’s saddlebags and panniers — and virtually any motorcycle. Pronghorn Straps, available in three color-coded lengths, secure gear with dynamic tension of stretch polyurethane and virtually unbreakable fasteners. And Rubber Boa Straps use simple, rugged military-spec shock cord and injected molded hooks to secure adventure motorcycle gear to a dirt bike’s plastic fenders.
