Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Factor Handguards are engineered specifically for extreme enduro and maxi-enduro riders who require uncompromising protection for their motorcycle controls during rugged off-road excursions. These guards provide superior impact resistance through a high-strength aluminum construction, though they are specifically designed for performance-focused bikes and may require specific mounting hardware based on your handlebar setup.

FAQs
Are these compatible with all motorcycles?
These are designed for enduro and maxi-enduro bikes. Please verify your handlebar diameter and available space before purchase.
What is the benefit of the C-section bar?
The C-section design provides five times the resistance of standard aluminum bars, making them significantly harder to bend during a crash.
Can I replace the bracelets if they break?
The reinforced 19 mm bracelets are designed for durability, but they are wear items; consult your dealer for compatible spare parts.
Do these guards include plastic covers?
The X-Factor system is centered on the metallic bar architecture for maximum protection.
How often should I check the hardware?
It is recommended to check all mounting bolts before every ride, especially after heavy off-road use.
Troubleshooting
Handguards rotate upon impact
Check that the 19 mm bracelets are tightened to the correct torque specification and ensure the surface of the handlebar is clean to prevent slipping.
Bar ends do not fit properly
Verify that your handlebar inserts are compatible with the Acerbis mounting system; you may need to adjust the expansion hardware to fit different wall thicknesses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the X-Factor handguards, ensure your motorcycle's handlebars are clear of obstacles. Use the provided 19 mm bracelets to anchor the bars to your handlebars, ensuring all bolts are torqued evenly to maintain structural alignment. Regularly inspect the mounting bolts after the first few rides, as vibrations can lead to loosening. To clean, use mild soap and water to wipe down the guards, avoiding harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the finish. Always verify compatibility with your specific handlebar diameter before beginning the installation process.
