Acerbis X-Factory Handguards Black/Black – Aluminum Bar, 0022397.321

Description

Product Overview

The Acerbis X-Factory Handguards are engineered to deliver premium protection for motorcycle handlebars while maintaining a low‑profile aesthetic. Constructed around a high‑strength aluminum bar, each guard is fully encased in an injection‑molded nylon composite that resists abrasion, UV exposure, and minor impacts. The result is a lightweight yet durable component that safeguards both the rider and the bike’s control surfaces during everyday riding and occasional off‑road excursions.

Measuring 13 × 9.5 × 5 inches and weighing just 3.65 lb, the handguards fit a wide range of standard handlebars without requiring extensive modification. The black‑on‑black finish provides a sleek, stealthy look that blends seamlessly with most sport, naked, and adventure motorcycles. The product carries the Acerbis model number 0022397.321 and complies with the manufacturer’s quality standards, ensuring consistent performance across every unit.

Key specifications include an adjustable pull‑on strap system for quick installation, a painted exterior for added corrosion resistance, and a design that accommodates both left‑hand and right‑hand grip positions. The handguards have earned a solid 4.4‑star rating from over a hundred verified customers, reflecting their reliability and value in the competitive Powersports handguard market.

Usage

These handguards excel in a variety of riding environments. Urban commuters benefit from the added protection against accidental scrapes when navigating tight city streets, while long‑distance tourers appreciate the reduced fatigue that comes from a secure, vibration‑dampening grip. The robust aluminum core absorbs shocks from potholes, gravel, and occasional low‑speed falls, making the guards an ideal companion for weekend adventure rides and light off‑road excursions.

Designed for adult riders, the X-Factory Handguards are suitable for both sport‑bike enthusiasts seeking a clean, performance‑focused look and adventure riders who prioritize durability. The adjustable strap system allows riders to fine‑tune the fit, ensuring the guards stay firmly in place even under aggressive cornering or sudden braking. Installation requires no specialized tools—simply slide the straps over the handlebars, adjust for tension, and secure the pull‑on closures.

Because the nylon composite is resistant to oil, gasoline, and weathering, the handguards maintain their appearance and structural integrity over many seasons. Whether you ride in hot desert climates, rainy coastal regions, or temperate mountain passes, the X-Factory Handguards provide consistent protection without the need for frequent maintenance.
