The rounded shape of these plastic crash pads prevent them from hooking into the tarmac or street surface, and reduces the impact when the bike falls over and slows the bike down when it is sliding.

In the case of a small crash simply replace the plastic insert for repair. The backward located “touch-down” area of the plastic inserts steers the bike whilst it is sliding, preventing the bike from spinning. This means there is less risk of overturning and thereby reduces damage to the bike. 

Note: an appropriate mounting kit is required for your bike, please contact us for more details on what mounting kit you need.
