Handguard bars: protecting hands, not just mechanics

In the event of a fall or tip-over, the original handguards and levers can be damaged to the point of preventing you from riding away. More seriously, in some configurations, fingers can get trapped on impact.

Specifically designed to address this risk, Wunderlich handguard bars offer maximum protection for both technology and your hands.

Why is this particularly important on an adventure bike like the F450GS?

On a motorcycle designed for off-road riding like the F 450 GS, the risk of low-speed falls or tip-overs is more frequent than on a road bike. The anti-rotation mounting, both on the handlebar thread and at the clamp, ensures that the bars do not rotate under impact or significant torque, maintaining effective protection when it matters most.

FAQ - BMW F450GS Handguard Bars

Do these bars replace the original handguards?

No, they protect the original handguards and levers, without replacing them or altering their daily function.

How do these bars also protect hands, not just the motorcycle?

Their robust construction limits the risk of fingers getting trapped between the handlebars and the ground during a fall, in addition to protecting the original technology.

Is there a risk of the mounting rotating on impact?

No, the mounting is designed with anti-rotation at two levels: on the internal handlebar thread and at the handlebar clamp, which maintains position even under significant torque.

Do these bars limit handlebar maneuverability?

No, their positioning has been designed not to interfere with normal hand movements on the controls, including when riding standing up on trails.

Is the mounting identical on both sides of the handlebar?

Yes, both bars are mounted using the same anti-rotation principle, on both the clutch and brake sides, for symmetrical protection of both hands.
