Dirt bikes go through a lot. Let’s face it – we don’t buy these things just to look at, we buy them to ride and have fun with. And although modern offroad machines are tremendously capable out of the factory, there are some weak points that tend to show themselves under extreme conditions.
In this quick guide, we’re going to take a look at the top reasons why riders choose to add protection parts to their bike, running through the key benefits.
Why most riders install protection parts
Without aftermarket protection parts, your bike is pretty vulnerable to damage from things like flying stones, hidden rocks and collisions with the scenery (or other riders)! Just one stray stone, pelted up at your bike from another rider, could be enough to puncture your brake master cylinder for instance. Within seconds, you’d begin to lose brake pressure, which is not just dangerous – it can be expensive and frustrating.
Depending on which bike you ride, a replacement front brake master cylinder can cost £50 or more. Clutch master cylinders cost a similar amount and are just as easily damaged. If you damage both, you could easily be looking at a £100 bill.
But a high-quality carbon fibre protection set from Pro-Carbon Racing – shielding both master cylinders from damage – costs just £79.99 including VAT. Sounds like a bit of a no-brainer to us.
Investing in protection parts makes even more sense when you consider the risk of damaging more expensive parts, like your engine and exhaust. We manufacture bash plates that could save your engine – yet they cost just £119.99. Which would you rather replace?
Not only can protection parts save you money in the long run, they’ll give you the confidence to push harder and reduce the risk of your day’s riding ending early. The more reliable your bike, the more fun you can have: it’s a simple equation!
