Dirt Bike Handguard Buyer's Guide

hello everyone I am chase at Rocky Mountain atv/mc and this is our dirtbike handguard buyers guy all right so today we're talking about hand guards as you well know we have a lot of hangers that you can choose from on our website but it can be a little bit difficult with so many options you have different styles to choose from you've got your end extra open style you've got your full wraparound and within those categories you have a couple different options to choose from so today we're just gonna walk through and talk about hand guards in general we're gonna talk about the different styles and as we go through and talk about those we're also just gonna highlight some of our favorite and our most popular hand guards within those categories to help give you a good starting point in the knowledge that you need to pick your next set so let's get to it [Music] alright so the first category that we're going to cover is going to be your MX style hand guards you might hear these called open or even standard two hand guards as well now all these probably the more popular choice that you can see a lot of professional writers using and the way they mount up it's really simple they're just going to mount on the inside of the handle bar some are going to go underneath so I'm gonna go over top the handle bar but you will see that with these the outside is completely open so with these you're going to have great protection from roofs from debris also blocking the wind and when it comes to price point these are gonna be the most budget-friendly now you can see on the table that we have three different hand guards up here so let's kind of walk through it just talk about each one real quick so a first one that we have up this is the a chair B's X force so some features here I like that I want to highlight so first you can see it has a vented design so it allows air flow through but we look at the back here you're going to notice that the clamp and the mount okay are gonna be made from plastic so a little bit more flexibility well it's cool though is that this is reversible so you can actually just flip it upside down if you want so you can mount to underneath or over top the bar and also you have two vertical mounting positions another great feature about these if you look at this other one here is that included in the package you're going to have a spoiler and if you want to cover up those vents and block the airflow you can install this the spoiler it's very simple it just has three screws on the back and that's going to give you added protection from the wind now the second handguard up here that I want to show you is the tusk MXD flex so at these really good price point you can see injection molded plastic shield nice and big and what's great is that the actual clamp and the brass I made from 6061 aluminum so it's gonna be a little bit stronger than the plastic that we just saw now the third mx handguard we want to show you this is the sacra m2 recoils so very unique design here you can see it mounts underneath the bar but what's cool is that they actually pivot so you can see that at pivots a few inches and the reason that they put that design in there is that if you do have a crash or tip over allowing it to pivot will just help prevent bend or breaking the actual shield itself so that's going to be your MX style hand guards again mounted on the inside but completely open on the outside all right so the next category that we're gonna cover is going to be your full wraparound handguard just like the name says is wrap all the way around so they're gonna mount on the inside of your handle bar but as you will see they're also going to mount to the end of your handle bar now something to keep in mind with full wrap arounds is that if you've never ran these before it does require that you cut the end of your grips and also your throttle tube off to get these installed at the end of your handlebars just something to keep in mind it's really not difficult but with full wraparound you got a couple different options to choose from so these are going to do a great job when it comes to blocking your roofs or debris protecting your hands but also because they're full wrap around it does make them much stronger than there's the MX style so they also do a great job of protecting your levers if you do have a crash or a tip over but within full wraparound you've got a couple different options when it comes to construction so we'll start with plastic so you're gonna have full wraparound hand guards this is the H Aries rally 3 so really popular hand guard but you will notice that the entire hand guard from the inside all the way to the outside is made out of injection molded plastic so that's gonna be a little bit more flexible but you are going to notice that the clamp is made from aluminum now these you could also check out say it be a cherubs rally profile so the profile just going to be a little bit shorter so if you want something that's just a little bit shorter lower profile that would be a great option another great one this is the chair B's mini cross rally so with these designed for 65 and 85 CC bike so if you had that Youth Rider you're looking for a full wraparound handguard and that would be awesome you also gotta remember that those youth riders tend to tip over maybe a little bit more and levers are typically one of the first things to go so that's a great job to protect those all right so now let's cover some full wraparound hand guards that are made from aluminum so if you're looking for these strongest most durable hand guards that are out there this is style that you would want to go with so we got three that we want to show you the first one and Douro engineering evolution so you're going to see that the bar that wraps around said of being plastic is made from 6061 t6 aluminum the plastic style big injection molded shield okay lots of coverage okay those are going to be replaceable and then you're going to have this you clamp that's going to go underneath the bar so from the enduro engineering now we have the tusk D flex Pro so this is the older brother to the old D flex which is a very popular handguard and the reason why we like these so much of Rocky Mountain is because we actually designed them so you can see large injection molded plastic shield now the bar is going to be tempered aluminum and when we design that we made sure that we had plenty of been going counsel yeah plenty of room for your hands and for your levers now with the clamps okay you make sure when you're picking these up because we have clamps that are four seven eighths handlebars and a different clamp for one and 1/8 so make sure you're getting the correct size for the handlebar that you have but a cool feature about these is that if you have an adventure bike we have a separate clamp that is built for adventure bikes and also for riders that have the fast flex handlebars we actually have an a clamp that is designed to mount these hand guards to the fast flex handlebar so make sure you check those out also keep in mind that the aluminum bars those are replaceable separate as well now the last one that we want to show you this is the psycho probe in so this is the hand guard that's been around for a long time very popular so a couple unique features here so you can see large injection molded plastic shield those are replaceable if you look here at the end okay this is a unique feature where it connects to the handlebar it immediately goes down and it gives it a little bit of clearance there and the reason for that is if you were to have a crash or if your hand slides off the end of the handlebar it just gives some clearance to prevent your hand from catching on that you also have these abrasion bars so you actually screw these on so if your bike is sliding on the ground that's just going to protect the end of the handguard and then here in the front you're gonna see okay you got your aluminum your aluminum bar and then you're gonna have a couple different mounting positions when you're mounting these to the handlebar so that's the psycho Pro been again been around a long time very popular full wraparound handguard alright so there it is that is our dirtbike handguard buyer's guide hopefully we've answered some questions you
