Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Future Handguards are designed for dual-sport and enduro riders who demand a balance of impact protection and airflow. These handguards offer a lightweight, compact design that maintains high durability through a two-component construction, making them ideal for aggressive trail riding. However, users should note that as open-style guards, they provide less protection against heavy side-impacts compared to closed, wrap-around aluminum bark busters.

Troubleshooting
Handguard rotates during riding
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean of grease, then tighten the mounting collar securely.
Interference with clutch or brake levers
Loosen the mounting collar and adjust the angle or lateral position of the guard until the lever has full range of motion.
Mounting collar does not fit
Verify your handlebars are standard 22mm (7/8 inch) diameter, as these guards are not compatible with larger fat-bars.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the X-Future handguards is straightforward due to the included instant-fixing collar. Begin by positioning the mounting bracket on the 22mm handlebar section, ensuring it does not interfere with the master cylinder or switchgear. Tighten the collar until secure, checking that the handguard is at an appropriate angle to shield your knuckles. Maintenance is minimal; simply clean the plastic with mild soap and water to remove dirt or mud. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the plastic surface over time. Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness after long rides to ensure no vibration has loosened the hardware.
