PRO GuIDe All-round protection options Off-road performance plastics specialist Polisport has releases a new range of frame protectors for selected Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, KTM and Husqvarna models. "This new performance part will provide the best protection to the frame from roost, impact and riders' boots. It has a slim and low profile design to avoid interaction with the boots and is produced in a highly resistant plastic material to make it durable. It has a "grippy" texture to increase the Disc and bottom fork guards for Sherco racing models adhesiveness, and with its OEM and black colour options it will give a factory look to the bike". Mounting kit provided. Polisport's 'Fortress' plates are highly durable and resistant injection moulded skid plates that provide full coverage to the engine and frame rails. Being made of plastic, the 'Fortress' is quieter than metallic skid plates and has a slim fit to prevent mud, dirt or rocks getting caught and building up between the protector and the frame. Available with or without linkage protection, the innovatively designed mounting system makes the installation easy, using a quick-install lever clamp, especially for otherwise difficult 4-stroke model installations. Available initially for selected models of KTM and Husqvarna in orange, black and white. Polisport's new 'Nomad' handguard is a full wrap- around (2-point mount) plastic handguard, designed with a large protective shape that is said to be perfect to shield from roost and weather; the ergonomic mounting kit features fewer components for easy assembly. The 'Nomad' is described as "suited for off-road and on-road use – rally, dual-sport, trail, enduro – and will be available in white, black, blue, orange, red and in our special Nardo Grey". Finally, Polisport's disc and bottom fork guards are now available for more Sherco racing models from 2013 onwards. "This is the perfect part for all enduro and extreme enduro riders looking for robust protection of the fork shoe and brake disc," says Polisport.
