Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Factory handguards are designed for serious off-road riders and enduro enthusiasts who prioritize maximum lever and hand protection against roost, trees, and trail debris. Their primary benefit is a high-strength structural design that prevents twisting during intense impacts, though users should note that installation requires specific knowledge of handlebar inner diameters to ensure a proper fit.

FAQs
Are these handguards compatible with fat bars?
Yes, provided the handlebars have an open end to allow the expansion insert to be installed.
Can I replace the plastic covers if they crack?
Yes, Acerbis offers the plastic covers as individual replacement parts, allowing you to refresh the look or replace damaged sections without buying the full kit.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Standard metric Allen keys are usually sufficient for tightening the fixing bracelets and expansion bolts.
Will these guards protect my hands from cold wind?
While their primary purpose is impact protection, the large bi-injected covers provide significant wind deflection, which can help keep hands warmer in cooler conditions.
What is the benefit of the anticorodal bracelets?
Anticorodal is a high-strength aluminum alloy that provides excellent structural integrity, ensuring the handguard does not bend or snap under heavy stress.
Troubleshooting
Handguard rotates upon impact
Tighten the steel expander bolt further or clean the inside of the handlebar to ensure there is no grease or debris preventing a solid grip.
Doesn't fit inside the handlebar
Check your handlebar's inner diameter; these guards are intended for standard or oversized bars with sufficient hollow space for the expander.
Interferes with brake or clutch levers
Adjust the position of your perches on the handlebar to provide more clearance between the lever blades and the guard body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these handguards, you must first verify that your motorcycle’s handlebars have open ends to accommodate the steel expander system. Start by loosening your throttle assembly or grips to expose the bar ends. Insert the expanders and tighten the bolts slowly to ensure an even grip inside the aluminum walls. Check that the anticorodal bracelets align correctly with your triple clamps or handlebar bend. For maintenance, periodically inspect the expander bolts to ensure they have not vibrated loose from engine harmonics, and clean the bi-injected covers with mild soap and water to prevent the accumulation of abrasive trail grit.
