The Polisport Swingarm Protectors are an essential upgrade for motocross and enduro riders looking to preserve their motorcycle's swingarm from high-impact damage and abrasive wear. Designed specifically for select KTM and Husqvarna models, these protectors feature a robust PA6 polyamide construction that maintains the bike's resale value by preventing structural scratches and dents. While they offer superior off-road durability, the installation requires careful attention to the included cable ties and adhesive foam to ensure a vibration-free, long-term fit.

Yes, these protectors are specifically designed for KTM SX/SXF models from 2013 to 2022.
You can reuse the plastic shell, but you should replace the adhesive foam and cable ties for a secure fit.
No, their lightweight construction ensures they do not negatively impact rear suspension performance.
No, the protectors are designed to mount using only the provided cable ties and adhesive.
PA6 polyamide is known for its extreme toughness and high resistance to abrasion and impact, making it ideal for off-road protection.
While it can be done with the wheel on, removing the rear wheel provides better access for positioning and tightening the cable ties.
Ensure the adhesive foam is correctly placed and the cable ties are pulled as tight as possible.
Replace with high-quality, heavy-duty UV-resistant cable ties and ensure they are not overtightened to the point of structural failure.
Periodically remove the guards, clean the swingarm with a mild soap, and replace the adhesive foam if it has lost its tackiness.
Installation is straightforward but requires patience to ensure longevity. First, clean the swingarm thoroughly with a degreaser to ensure the adhesive foam creates a strong bond. Once clean and dry, apply the foam to the inner side of the guard. Position the protector carefully against the swingarm and pull the included cable ties taut to secure the unit in place. To care for your guards, check the tension of the cable ties after every race or long weekend of riding, as constant vibration can occasionally cause them to loosen. If you are pressure washing your bike, avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at the edges of the adhesive foam to prevent it from lifting.
