The "Street" engine guard from Touratech: a sporty protection for the cylinders and valve covers of your BMW R 1300 GS.
The heart of the "Street" engine guard from Touratech lies in its integrated friction protection feature. This ingenious feature has been carefully designed to provide optimum protection for the most vulnerable parts of your BMW R 1300 GS, the cylinders and valve covers. The highlight of this feature is that the contour of the protection has been 100% designed to fit perfectly with the Boxer 1300 engine's valve cover, ensuring a precise fit and exact positioning in the right place.
When we talk about "integrated chafe protection", we mean a design that carefully considers the geometry and shape of the valve cover, so that the guard fits like a glove. This is essential because, in the event of a fall or slip, the guard must act as an effective barrier between the rough ground surface and the valve cover, preventing costly and potentially serious damage to the engine.
The importance of this precision cannot be underestimated, since, in an emergency situation, every millimeter counts. The fact that the protection is designed specifically for your motorcycle model ensures that the forces resulting from an accident are evenly distributed and that the sliding pad can effectively rest on the valve cover, thus minimizing the risk of damage.
This level of attention to detail in the design of the "Street" engine guard from Touratech demonstrates the brand's commitment to the safety and protection of your motorcycle, ensuring that you can enjoy your motorcycle adventures with peace of mind knowing that you are equipped with protection that is custom designed for your BMW R 1300 GS.
In the event of a fall or slide, the engine protector absorbs the resulting forces and distributes them smoothly. In an emergency, the sliding pad can lie flat on a large area on the valve cover.
The location of the tubes close to the engine ensures that the ground clearance is not affected.
The tubes used in this protector are made of electropolished stainless steel. This material is known for its corrosion resistance and exceptional durability. The tubes are 25 mm thick, which provides a solid and strong structure to absorb and distribute the impact forces in the event of a fall or accident. The choice of electropolished stainless steel not only ensures a long product life, but also gives it an aesthetic and polished look that complements the appearance of your bike.
In addition to the stainless steel tubing, the "Street" engine guard from Touratech incorporates extremely durable plastic elements. These elements, such as the sliding pads, are designed to effectively absorb and dissipate impact energy. The durability of these plastic components is critical, as they must withstand stresses and friction in adverse situations without deteriorating or breaking.
The combination of these two materials, stainless steel and high-strength plastic, is what makes the "Street" engine guard from Touratech so effective. The stainless steel tubes provide a strong structure to absorb and distribute impact forces, while the durable plastic elements act as an additional layer of protection, reducing wear and minimizing damage in the event of a fall.
In short, the "Street" engine guard from Touratech is a complete protection solution that combines the strength of stainless steel with the durability of plastic to keep your BMW R 1300 GS safe on all your motorcycle adventures.
