Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Elite Handguards are designed for E-Bike, MTB, and Minicross enthusiasts who need lightweight, reliable protection for their hands and handlebar controls. These guards excel at shielding riders from trail debris, thick brush, and cold wind without adding bulk to the cockpit. While they provide exceptional impact resistance for intensive riding, users should note that they are open-handguards and do not offer the full wrap-around structural reinforcement found in heavy-duty motocross guards.

FAQs
Are these suitable for full-sized motocross bikes?
These are primarily designed for E-Bike, MTB, and Minicross. While they can be used on other bikes, they are not designed for full-sized motocross crash protection.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, standard hex keys (Allen wrenches) are typically all that is required for the installation process.
Are they water-resistant?
Yes, they are made of durable plastic that is impervious to water and mud.
Can I replace the shields if they crack?
The X-Elite system is modular; check with authorized Acerbis dealers for specific replacement shield parts.
Do they provide thermal protection in winter?
They significantly block wind, which helps keep hands warmer, though they are not heated or insulated.
Troubleshooting
Guard moves or rotates during riding
Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened to the recommended torque and verify the surface of the handlebar is clean and free of grease.
Interference with brake levers
Adjust the angle of the guard or shift the mounting position slightly inward on the handlebar until there is enough clearance for full lever travel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The X-Elite handguards utilize a universal mounting system. Before installation, ensure your handlebar has enough space between the grips and the control units.
- Position the guard brackets near the center of the handlebars.
- Align the shield to provide maximum coverage for your hands.
- Tighten the mounting bolts firmly, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the plastic clamps.
For care, clean with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or degreasers, as these can degrade the plastic material over time. Periodically check that the mounting hardware is tight, especially after intense trail riding or vibration-heavy sessions.
