Acerbis X-Factor Handguards

I picked these for durability and coverage size when riding in sub freezing temps. They look good and we’re simple to install.

I Bought Orange for My KTM. (I Like Them Better then Ones on My 2009 Honda XR650L) These were Easy to Install, Fit PERFECTLY, Work EXCELLENT & Look COOL at the Same Time!!!!!

I have bought two sets of these. They offer great wind/brush protection. They are also very durable, I have dropped/ scraped them on many occasions and the finish is still holding up well. They look huge in the package they come in but really look nice once installed. I have them on both my XT225 and XR650L. The only thing I didn't like is that the red color on the "red and white" doesn't perfectly match Honda red. It is a little more pink.

These guards are built like a brick.....the bars are twice as thick as standard guards. The plastic deflectors are a lot bigger than most others. They look good as well. The durability of the plastic covers could be improved

I absolutely love these Acerbis X-factor handguards on my 2019 Honda CRF250F. They are definitely very well-built, from the plastics, the metal bar, the hardware and handlebar mounting brackets, all of it is quality materials. It is rather difficult to install though. It took me about three hours. I am particular when it comes to making it right, so maybe I took a little more time than someone. But, they are a little cumbersome to get exactly right. But, I have rode through the trails now a few times and they are awesome. They keep Bronx and branches from hitting my hands. Because the clutch lever and brake lever are a little longer on my bike, I had to slide both in slightly so they would clear the plastics. But, I prefer my levers to sit down a little anyhow, so moving them in actually made it more comfortable. I would definitely recommend these hand guards more than any other that I have seen. I think they look the best and definitely are made from top quality materials

I have other handguards and these are my favorite. I have had them hit the ground or rocks hard and they have held up. They have some wear but still look good after many bush strikes as well.

Pod protection and good looks. A little tricky to install but nothing anyone can’t work out.

Took two falls on these at Metcalf right before the holidays. No bike damage and only light scuffing on the hand guard plastic. Easy to install and they look great. Highly recommended.

Got these for my KLR650 but they did not fit very well with the bend on pro-taper bars that are on the bike although my riding buddy put his on pro-taper bars and they worked great for him. I ended up putting these on my XR650R and they fit great and provide a lot of protection.

It only takes one time getting your knuckles smacked by a small sapling to appreciate how much you need better brush/hand guards than the flimsy ones that come stock. These Acerbis are great. I have not removed the ventilation slots (yet), not sure if I will.

I had to return these because I was unable to get them to mount correctly to my Yamaha WR450f with fat bars & the bend I prefer.

-m-2007 YAMAHA WR450F--

looks good good protection a bit big but great

-m-2017 HONDA CRF450X--

Put these on and have hit several trees and these just keep on working. very little movement when hitting trees makes it nice to readjust. nice, wide, aluminum makes for great protection and lightweight.

-m-2016 KTM 350 XCF-W--

Easily installed on my 04 CR125. look great and provide great coverage over levers.

-m-2004 HONDA CR125R--

Fits great easy install solid for the price very satisfied can't wait to break them in come spring

-m-2017--

Log and strong but does not fit well on handle bars even with shims installation marred the paint on my bars and does not fit flush.

-m-2018 YAMAHA WR250R--

I really like the coverage of the x-factor, since my hands are important. It also feels like it keeps my hands from being as cold in the winter compared to my previous Moose Racing.
I even made an install video.

Great hand guards! Very beefy and sturdy! I'm not mechanically inclined at all & found these to be a easy install.

-m-2017 HONDA CRF450RX--

Worth their weight in gold. Overbuilt so they'll outlive your bike and bars, well thought out design and mounting, and awesome coverage.

-m-2016 YAMAHA YZ250--

Great guards and easy to install. It would be 5 star if the provided bolts and threading matched well, but as with most acrebis products they don't.

-m-2015 KTM 200 XC-W--

The fit and finish is top notch. They were easy to install as well.

-m-2017 KTM 500 EXC-F--

These are the nicest handguards I have ever purchased and I've had Cycra pro bends and Enduro Engineering guards as well. The quality of the metal, the fit and the excellent system of spacing the ends so they don't encroach on the grips is awesome. Unfortunately the plastic shield is easily cracked under the C bar. I crashed once and the bottom portion of plastic cracked and separated. The problem is the plastic is two colors molded together and the seam will break. I would gladly go with a solid color so it would be one solid piece that is stronger. The worst part? I don't see where you can order the plastic replacement piece like Cycra or EE.

-m-2016 KTM 350 XC-F--

These fit really nice and they look great. Just had to do a little bit of modifying on brake line, after using renthal bars.

I don't know what hospital room I'd be in or even bankers office trying to replace my levers without these hand guards. Extremely well designed product. I do a lot of single track and these have saved me every time, my hands and levers!

-m-2015 YAMAHA YZ250FX--

These are great handguards. The main bar is beefy in strength, but light weight. The covers fit great, look great, and are replaceable. They offer plenty of room for large hands with gloves.

I wrecked with these on my bars, the only thing that happened to them is they are a bit scratched up now. If I didn't have them I would be buying new grips and levers.

-m-2005 HONDA CRF250X--

these hand guards look great and actually work

-m-2012 YAMAHA WR450F--

the handguards are pretty good quality except for the white plastic which breaks off relatively easily

These are the best hand guards i have ever seen. They offer great protection. That being said, i have gone through 2 sets of shields because they break on the seam by the fake carbon part. Make sure all the bolts are tight and the aluminum part will protect your levers forever.

These look great and I love the aluminum bars. The plastic could use some work though. Right at the carbon looking mid section they like to break. Between all my bikes this will be the 4th set. On the bright side you can replace the plastic for a decent price. Maybe one day Ill learn how to not tip the bike over, hopefully before I go broke.

Put these on my 2005 WR450F last night and was so impressed with the fit and craftsmanship. The look is spectacular as well. These will go on every bike I ever own.

These are some sweet Handguards and look great on my KTM 520 EXC.

Acerbis makes good gear.

I love these hand guards. The are huge when compared to other guards on the market. The aluminum bar and hardware is nearly double the thickness of comparable hand guards. The roost deflector looks great and functions just as well. The bar and roost deflector bend in a way that it does not interfere with the clutch or brake levers.

I race harescrambles and endruos these are the only handguards that I run and trust. ive tried many other brands of guard and had issues with pretty much all of them. these guard are built strong and will take a hard hit. if you like you hands these are the handguards to get!!

I have these on my 2001 DR650SE with ProTaper EVO CR High Bend bars.

Little difficult to install, but look great once you get them fitted.

I feel very confident that my hands and levers will be thoroughly protected

Very happy with protection.

My KTM350 doesnt allow for the triple clamp mounts to work with wrap around guards but these do well mounted up on the bar

These are the best handguards I have bolted on! Very robust, I have slammed them into trees and even the ground a few times and they hold up great with little to no displacement after impact. They bolt on tight and stay tight. The plastic are of good quality and the cables route nicely with the mounting system. Will buy another set. Installed on '14 KTM 200XC-W.

really like these seem to be really strong THICK bar that covers all the important stuff and big hand guard heavy duty plastic that protect hands from anything getting to you from the top and bottom, little hard to put on at first but well worth wont be disappointed and no more broke levers so glad.

i love the acerbic products but this is the best handguard system yet. universal mount kit comes witht these, and no adjustment needed. these run large and offer more hand and lever protection than the smaller ones.the bars themselves are thicker and very burley. had a few drops in very rocky desert rides and didn't move or crack. expensive but, you get what you pay for.

I got my handgards a few months ago and I took a few hard crashes and everything seems to be working good. The only thing that is hard, is attaching them to your handle bars. But other then that they work great.
