Hepco & Becker Case Set + Top Case
The revolutionary case design from Hepco & Becker
combines aluminium appearance with the stability of a
plastic case. Impact-resistant coloured plastic make the
Gobi an extremely strong case that can absorb impact
and will not break the first time it touches the ground.
The external and internal side walls have a honeycomb
structure to link them together and provide storage
space for up to 3.5 litres of fluids - a real benefit for
desert riders. The smooth inside surfaces make it pos-
sible to transport luggage without inner bag. Extremely
robust with metal locks, hinges with metal mesh and
metal carrying handle. The side cases have a 37 litre
capacity each, can carry up to 100 kg and are abso-
lutely water-tight. The Gobi top case has a capacity of
42 litres in total and will easily take a helmet and a lot
more beside it. With integrated metal railing. Case and
top case fit all Hepco & Becker carriers.

In the course of our extensive test
tours we had numerous falls with
fully-loaded bikes. Whether it was
in Siberia, in Turkey at - 15° C und
120 km/h, in the Atacama desert or
in the middle of the Persian winter,
the GOBI cases were always able
to protect the bike from damage.
After hitting the ground, all of the
cases could simply be re-attached
to the carrier (if they had come off
at all). They were still water-tight
and displayed no limitations to
their operation.

its handling and the outstanding
value for money are unbeatable.
Simply the best that the market
currently has to offer - in our opin-

magazines!

The carrier and case set have a good 130.000 kilometres behind them.
Even after the many falls (during which they also provided excellent
protection to the motorcycle) and a crash at 120 km/h (not properly
attached), both cases work perfectly and the seals are intact. Despite the
huge load, the carriers also survived in full working order, thanks to their
high stability and their own protective qualities.
