Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Elite open handguards are designed specifically for e-bike, MTB, and miniCross riders seeking reliable protection against trail debris, branches, and harsh weather. They offer a significant safety upgrade by shielding your hands and vital handlebar control groups from accidental impacts and cold air, though riders should note that as an open-design guard, they provide less wrap-around impact resistance than full-coverage closed enduro guards.

FAQs
Are these suitable for full-size motocross bikes?
These are designed for miniCross, MTBs, and e-bikes. For full-size motocross, consider heavier-duty dedicated motocross guards.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, a standard set of hex keys is typically all that is required for installation.
Does the white plastic fade over time?
The high-quality thermoplastic is designed to be durable, but like any plastic exposed to constant UV light, minor cosmetic changes may occur over many years.
Can these be used with hydraulic brakes?
Yes, they are designed to work around the presence of standard hydraulic brake levers.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, the X-Elite handguards are supplied as a set for both sides of the handlebar.
Troubleshooting
Guard moves during trail vibrations
Check the mounting bolt tightness and ensure the bracket is securely seated against the handlebar surface.
Guard interferes with brake lever travel
Adjust the angle of the handguard on the handlebar until there is sufficient clearance for the lever to pull fully to the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard hex keys to mount the bracket to the handlebar. Ensure you position the guard high enough to clear your brake lever throw, but low enough to maximize the protective envelope for your hands. Compatibility is broad across standard MTB and e-bike bar diameters. For care, clean the thermoplastic body with mild soap and water after rides to prevent mud buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can weaken the plastic structure over time. Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure vibrations from rough terrain have not loosened the bolts.
