Not all crash protectors are the same...
- R&G crash protectors are developed bespoke for each bike.
- These crash protectors even received an MCN rating of 97%.
- These are not "mushrooms" and, unlike most competitors, use de-embrittled high-tensile steel bolts, designed not to snap off on impact.
- In addition, compression sleeves are inserted inside the bobbins, which are designed to scrub speed from crashes quickly and minimize damage to frames and fairings in most crash scenarios.
R&G protectors rely on nothing more than consistent quality engineering and are designed without compromise for effective protection against damage. Their protectors are turned from a special grade of solid nylon which is proven to wear evenly, scrubbing speed from a crash and saving further damage. All replacement bolts are heat treated, so that they are unlikely to shear or snap on impact.
Many companies make crash protectors that fit into completely unsuitable places on a bike, such as 6mm fairing screws, laterally mounted bracketry (which could fold in on impact) or unsupported frame spars which could easily bend or break. In their experience the only place on modern bikes capable of dissipating these kinds of forces is the point where frame meets engine.
R&G Racing crash protectors are tried and tested on both road and track, and while they can’t work miracles they are going to shift the odds a lot further in your favour.
On Some bikes like the YZF R6 it is possible to fit an additional crash protector at the rear swingarm pivot point, without impeding the rider. This offers the obvious benefits of an additional protection point and can be fitted very easily. R&G Racing’s kit includes offside and a nearside protector and compliments their engine mount bobbins superbly.
