Acerbis X-Factory Handguards — Black/Black closed handguards with aluminum core and replaceable shields

The Acerbis X-Factory Handguards (BLACK/BLACK) are closed, replaceable handguards that combine an aluminum core wrapped in injection-molded nylon with a dual-injected polypropylene shield for robust protection on off-road bikes.

Designed for riders who need reliable hand protection from roost, branches, and debris, these handguards use mixed materials and a steel expander to lock tightly to the handlebar. The package includes a universal mount kit and anticorodal armbands for a secure fit; replacement bars and shields are available if you prefer upgrades or repairs. Built to withstand rough conditions while remaining serviceable, the X-Factory pair balances strength, weight and modularity.

How do these handguards attach and stay tight under impact?

Attachment relies on a steel expander that compresses inside the handlebar, preventing rotation and resisting torsion during knocks. An anticorodal armband clamps the guard to the bar for extra rigidity, and the universal mount kit adapts to most handlebars.

• Steel expander for a firmer internal hold and anti-rotation
• Anticorodal armbands clamp the guard externally for added stiffness
• Universal mount kit fits common handlebar diameters and setups

What materials protect my hands and how are they durable?

The X-Factory uses an aluminum internal bar wrapped in an injection-molded nylon composite to combine structural strength with impact-absorbing flexibility. The outer shield is a replaceable dual-injected polypropylene panel that resists abrasion and sheds roost and branches.

• Aluminum bar core for load-bearing strength
• Injection-molded nylon wrap for toughness and reduced vibration
• Dual-injected polypropylene shield for wear resistance and easy replacement

Can I repair or customize these handguards?

Yes — the design emphasizes serviceability: shields and bars are available as spare parts so you can replace worn pieces without swapping the entire assembly. The steel bar surface is printed in various colors for visual customization while keeping the same fit and performance.

• Replaceable shields and bars sold separately
• Printed steel bar finishes available to match bike styling
• Modular design reduces long-term replacement cost

How will these perform in real riding conditions?

Built as a closed handguard system, the X-Factory deflects roost, dirt and light impacts while maintaining a low profile. The combination of materials keeps weight down without sacrificing protection, making them suitable for aggressive trail and enduro use.

• Closed shield design keeps out debris and weather
• Robust mounting prevents unwanted movement during rough rides
• Lightweight composite wrap reduces added mass at the bars

Who is this for: The Acerbis X-Factory Handguards are for off-road and enduro riders who want a strong, serviceable shield system that mounts securely to most handlebars. They suit riders who value modular repairs and a balance of rigidity and impact absorption without adding excessive weight.
