The Acerbis X-Factor Hand Guards in Red/White are designed for off-road motorcyclists, particularly those engaged in extreme enduro or maxi-enduro riding, seeking superior protection for their hands, handlebars, and switch gear against the elements and impacts. Their key benefit is enhanced durability and resistance, offering a significantly stronger alternative to standard aluminum hand guards. A potential caveat for some users might be the increased thickness, which could affect handlebar grip space, though this is a trade-off for the heightened protection.

While they offer excellent protection, the Acerbis X-Factor hand guards are primarily designed for off-road (enduro, dual-sport) riding. They may be considered overly robust or visually mismatched for most pure street motorcycles, though some riders may choose them for added protection.
The anticorodal inner bar is significantly stronger and more resistant to bending and breaking compared to standard aluminum. This provides superior protection for your hands and controls in extreme conditions.
These guards are designed for common handlebar diameters used on off-road bikes. It's essential to check the product specifications and your handlebar diameter to ensure compatibility. Adapters may be available for some non-standard sizes.
Clean using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or degrade the plastic.
The X-Factor features a significantly more robust and resistant construction, including a stronger anticorodal inner bar and increased bracelet thickness, making it ideal for more extreme riding conditions compared to their standard offerings.
Yes, hand guards are typically sold as a pair, one for the left side and one for the right side of the handlebar.
Re-tighten all mounting hardware. Ensure the clamps are securely fastened to the handlebar. Check if any required spacers or adapters are missing or incorrectly installed.
Adjust the position of the hand guards to provide adequate clearance for lever movement. Some models may offer slight adjustability in angle or position. If severe obstruction persists, confirm compatibility with your specific motorcycle model.
Ensure the correct C-section bar is being used and that it is oriented properly within the hand guard. Sometimes, slight wiggling or a specific angle is needed to seat the bar correctly into its channels.
Setup: These hand guards are designed for easy installation. Typically, they mount to the ends of the handlebars. Ensure your handlebars have sufficient space for the mounting clamps. Some installations might require removing bar-end weights. Always refer to the specific mounting instructions provided with the product for detailed steps.
Compatibility: The Acerbis X-Factor guards are generally compatible with most dual-sport and enduro motorcycles. However, it is crucial to verify fitment with your specific make and model, especially considering handlebar diameter and the presence of any pre-existing accessories.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the hand guards, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic. Periodically check that all mounting hardware remains tight.
