Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis X-Elite Handguards are designed for E-Bike, MTB, and Minicross enthusiasts who need a balance of lightweight protection and durability. They excel at shielding your hands and handlebar controls from trail obstacles like branches and flying debris, though they provide less impact protection compared to full-wrap aluminum reinforced guards.

FAQs
Are these suitable for full-sized motocross bikes?
These are designed for E-Bikes, MTB, and Minicross. They are generally too light for full-sized competition motocross.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, a standard set of metric Allen keys is typically sufficient for installation.
Will these fit carbon handlebars?
Yes, but ensure you do not overtighten the clamps to avoid damaging the carbon fiber surface.
Can the plastic be replaced if it cracks?
The X-Elite is typically sold as a complete unit, though you should check for specific mounting kit replacements if a bracket fails.
Do they provide significant protection in a crash?
They offer moderate protection for controls and hands against debris, but they are not designed to take direct, high-speed impacts against rocks or trees.
Troubleshooting
Handguard rotates during riding
Tighten the mounting bolts on the handlebar clamp; if it continues to slip, add a small piece of rubber tape under the clamp for extra grip.
Interference with brake levers
Adjust the position of your brake lever assembly slightly inward on the handlebar to provide additional clearance for the handguard arm.
Pros and Cons

- Provides excellent protection against foliage and debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the X-Elite handguards is straightforward and requires basic hex keys. Align the mounting brackets on the handlebars, ensuring that your brake and shift levers remain fully accessible without obstruction. Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it has not loosened due to trail vibration. To clean the handguards, use only mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that could degrade the plastic finish or make it brittle over time.
