SW-MOTECH USA Introduces All-New Handguard Systems

First teased at EICMA late last year, the all-new handguard systems from SW-MOTECH have arrived stateside. Designed from the ground up — completely in house — the new handguards are already available for over 100 different models with more being developed as bikes rotate through the German research and development department for fitment. This hyper-specific fit is one of the advantages of the new SW-MOTECH handguards. Not settling for a clunky universal fit, the engineers have designed an elegant kit for each motorcycle that makes installation a painless process. Incorporating bar-end weights into the aluminum backbone design and an easy-to-install hinged clamp for the interior mount on two-point systems, setting up these new systems requires no special tools and takes minutes. This also results in a more inconspicuous and attractive design.

The new systems are available in two different models. The SW-MOTECH Sport Handguards feature a sleek and simple shell design, while the SW-MOTECH Adventure Handguards have a more aggressive and angular shell design while offering slightly more coverage.

Both models share the same strong, black, powder-coated aluminum frame. Each is made from a polycarbonate shell material with a matte finish. The shells have a slight flex to improve durability.

Sport or Adventure?

Both shell variations have extensions available (sold separately) for those wanting to increase coverage for cold or wet weather.

The Adventure Handguard shell can also accept a replaceable crash pad (sold separately), which screws onto the shell and into the aluminum backbone. The pad wraps around the edge of the handguard, where impacts are most likely. This adds an additional level of impact protection and saves the trouble and expense of replacing the entire assembly for minor scratches.

These new additions to the SW-MOTECH hand protection lineup join existing offerings, such as the race-inspired sportbike Lever Guards and the adventure-style Kobra system. SW-MOTECH now has a total of four systems to choose from for any motorcycle in your garage.
