Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Factory Hand Guards are engineered for serious motocross and off-road enthusiasts who demand maximum protection against roost, debris, and impact. These heavy-duty closed handguards utilize an overmolded steel bar design to ensure rider safety during high-speed trail riding or intense competition, though they are specifically tailored for off-road use and may require precise adjustment to clear certain clutch or brake lever configurations.

FAQs
Are these guards suitable for street bikes?
While they can be mounted, they are specifically designed for the impact demands of off-road and motocross riding.
Do these include all necessary mounting hardware?
Yes, the kit includes the anticorodal bracelets and steel expander system required for installation.
Can I replace just the plastic cover if it gets damaged?
Yes, the bi-injection covers are designed to be durable, but individual components may be available for replacement through authorized Acerbis dealers.
Will these fit 7/8 inch handlebars?
The mounting hardware is designed to be compatible with most standard off-road handlebar sizes, but please verify your specific bar diameter before installation.
How do I prevent the handguards from damaging my brake lines?
Ensure the handguards are positioned with enough clearance from the levers and hydraulic lines during installation so that no pulling occurs when the steering is at full lock.
Troubleshooting
Guard rotates upon impact
Ensure the steel expander bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification and check that the inner mounting bracelet is clamped firmly against the handlebar.
Difficulty fitting onto tapered handlebars
Verify that the inner mounting bracelet is correctly positioned on the straight section of the bar and not overlapping the taper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-strength overmolded steel construction
- Superior torsion resistance via steel expanders
- Durable, corrosion-resistant anticorodal mounting hardware
- Sleek and integrated aesthetic
- Excellent protection against roost and trail debris
Cons
- Requires specific tool set for secure installation
- Not compatible with all aftermarket handlebar end weights
- Heavier than plastic-only guards due to steel core
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and a hex key set. First, ensure your handlebars have open ends to accommodate the steel expander. Insert the expander into the handlebar end, ensuring it is flush before tightening the bolt to set the internal grip. Once the bar end is secure, attach the inner mounting bracelets to the handlebar, adjusting the angle so that the guard provides optimal coverage for your levers without obstructing hand movement. For maintenance, periodically check the mounting hardware for vibration-induced loosening after rigorous rides. Use a mild soap and water to clean the bi-injection covers; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the polymer over time.
