Full details
The Acerbis X-Force handguards are designed for enduro and motocross riders who require a balance of impact protection and weight management during aggressive trail riding. Developed in collaboration with professional racing teams, these handguards provide essential defense against rocks and debris while offering excellent ventilation; however, potential buyers should note that they are specifically engineered for use with standard 22 mm or 7/8 inch handlebars.

FAQs
Will these fit fat bars?
No, these are designed specifically for standard 22 mm (7/8 inch) handlebars.
Can the spoilers be removed?
Yes, the spoilers are modular and can be removed if you prefer a more minimalist guard profile.
Do these provide wind protection?
While they offer some wind deflection, they are primarily designed for impact protection and ventilation.
Are these full-wrap guards?
No, the X-Force series are open-end guards, meaning they attach only at the handlebar clamp area.
What tools are needed for installation?
You typically only need a standard set of hex keys (Allen wrenches) to complete the installation.
Can I use these for street riding?
They can be used on street bikes with 22 mm bars, though they are specifically tuned for off-road dirt and debris impact.
Troubleshooting
Handguard rotates under light impact
Ensure the mounting bracket bolts are torqued to the correct specification and check that the handlebar surface is free of grease or debris.
Interference with clutch or brake levers
Adjust the angle of the mounting bracket or slightly reposition your lever assemblies on the handlebar until adequate clearance is achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the included mounting kit. Begin by cleaning your handlebar surface to ensure a secure grip. Attach the bracket assemblies to your 22 mm handlebars, ensuring they do not interfere with your throttle housing or clutch perch operation. Once the brackets are positioned, attach the handguard shells and spoilers. Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness, as vibration from off-road riding can loosen fasteners over time. To clean, use a mild soap and water solution; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the high-impact plastic finish.
