Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Factory handguards are designed for off-road and enduro riders who require maximum protection for their hands and control levers during intense riding. These closed-style guards offer superior durability through an overmolded steel bar, ensuring they withstand impacts in harsh environments; however, they require specific handlebar dimensions for proper fitment, making them less suitable for non-standard or overly tapered bars.

FAQs
Are these handguards compatible with all handlebars?
They are designed for standard off-road handlebars with open ends, but fitment may vary based on handlebar thickness and sweep.
Can the plastic covers be replaced if damaged?
Yes, the bi-injection covers are designed to be replaceable, allowing you to keep the steel bar skeleton intact.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Standard hex keys and a wrench are sufficient for the installation of the mounting hardware and expander.
What is an anticorodal bracelet?
It refers to a specific aluminum alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring the mounting hardware stays rust-free.
Are these suitable for street bikes?
While they provide excellent protection, they are primarily engineered for the requirements of off-road and enduro motorcycles.
Troubleshooting
Guard rotates after a minor impact
Verify that the steel expander is tightened to the correct torque and check that the anticorodal bracelet is securely fastened to the handlebar.
Interference with clutch or brake levers
Adjust the angle of the handguards or reposition the lever perches slightly inward on the handlebar until adequate clearance is achieved.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High impact resistance from overmolded steel construction
- Enhanced torsion control during crashes
- Corrosion-resistant mounting hardware
- Provides full-wrap protection for hands and levers
Cons
- Requires precise handlebar setup for installation
- Increased weight compared to open-ended guards
- Less airflow compared to non-closed designs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard hand tools.
- Ensure the handlebar ends are open and free of grips or obstructions.
- Slide the steel expander into the handlebar tube and tighten until snug.
- Attach the anticorodal bracelets to the inner portion of the handlebar, ensuring they do not interfere with cable routing.
- Align the guards to the desired angle before fully torquing all bolts.
To care for the guards, periodically inspect the mounting bolts to ensure they haven't loosened due to vibration. Clean the bi-injection covers with a mild soap and water solution to maintain their finish. Do not use harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the plastic composition.
