Product Information
Full details
The Polisport Bullit Wrap Hand Guards in Black are designed for off-road riders seeking robust protection for their hands and motorcycle controls. Their primary benefit is offering high levels of resistance against impacts and debris with a lightweight, plastic-bar construction, a key advantage over heavier aluminum alternatives. A potential caveat is that their plastic bar design, while lighter, might not offer the same rigid structural integrity as aluminum for extreme impacts. These handguards feature a modern design, excellent hand and master cylinder protection, and ample airflow through large vents, with the option for removable ventilation covers on some variants.

FAQs
Are these handguards suitable for all types of motorcycles?
The Polisport Bullit Wrap Hand Guards are primarily designed for off-road motorcycles. Their compatibility is based on handlebar diameter (22-28mm outer, 13-18mm inner), but their design is optimized for off-road conditions.
What is the main difference between these and aluminum-bar handguards?
These guards use a plastic bar for structural support, making them lighter than handguards that feature aluminum bars. This offers a different balance between weight and rigidity.
Can I install these myself?
Yes, installation is designed to be quick and easy, utilizing a two-point mounting system that typically requires basic hand tools.
How do I clean the handguards?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the plastic finish.
Do these handguards come in colors other than black?
Yes, the Polisport Bullit series is available in multiple colors, including Blue, Red, White, Orange, Grey, Yellow, and Green, with black being one of the options.
Will these protect my hands in a crash?
They offer protection against impacts from debris, branches, and minor tip-overs. For severe crashes, the level of protection may vary due to their plastic construction.
What is the benefit of the large vents?
The large vents allow for increased airflow, which helps to keep your hands cooler during rides, especially in warm weather or during intense off-road riding.
Troubleshooting
Handguards seem loose after installation
Re-tighten the mounting hardware. Ensure the internal plastic rod is correctly seated and the clamps are snug against the handlebar. Check that your handlebar inner diameter falls within the specified range.
Levers are obstructed by the handguards
Adjust the mounting position of the handguards on the handlebar. Ensure they are positioned to allow full and unobstructed movement of the clutch and brake levers through their entire range.
Reduced airflow causing hands to feel warm
If your model features removable ventilation covers, remove them to increase airflow. Ensure the existing vents are not blocked by debris.
Plastic bar shows signs of stress or cracking
Inspect the bar carefully. If significant cracks are present, the handguard may be compromised and should be replaced to maintain protective integrity.
