Key Features & Benefits
All-Round Engine Protection
The crash bar forms a strong wraparound cage around the cylinders, protecting the boxer engine from impacts at all angles — front, side, above and rear. This significantly reduces the risk of damage during low-speed drops, technical off-road riding or everyday parking mishaps.
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured using 25×2 mm stainless steel tubing reinforced with precision-formed mounting plates, the crash bar offers exceptional strength and impact absorption. Stainless steel construction prevents rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh environments.
Engineered for the R1300GS Platform
The crash bar sits as close to the engine as possible without interfering with maintenance access, ensuring compatibility with OEM bodywork and popular aftermarket upgrades. Ground clearance and lean angle remain virtually unaffected, preserving the dynamic handling of the BMW R1300GS.
Secure & Stable Four-Point Mounting System
With engineered mounting points designed to distribute forces effectively, this crash bar protects engine components without loading the frame incorrectly. All required mounting hardware is included for a smooth, precise installation.
Perfect for Touring, Off-Road and Expedition Riders
Whether you’re preparing for long-distance adventure travel, green-laning weekends, or simply want peace of mind on the road, this crash bar provides reliable engine protection in all conditions.
