Evotech Performance Fork Protector for Aprilia RS 457 (2024)

Material: The product uses a combination of high-grade materials. The bobbins (the visible crash protectors) are injection-molded from a high-quality, hard-wearing nylon. This material offers excellent impact absorption and abrasion resistance. The inner core is a strong, lightweight aluminum spacer, and the connecting rod is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Sacrificial Bobbins: The nylon bobbin heads are designed to be the primary point of contact in a fall. They are sacrificial, meaning they take the brunt of the damage, protecting the bike’s more expensive components.Rotating Design: The innovative design allows the nylon bobbin head to rotate on impact. This helps to dissipate crash energy and reduces stress on the front end of the bike. Axle-Mounted: The protectors mount securely by passing a stainless steel rod through the front wheel spindle, ensuring a strong and stable connection. Protection: The kit is specifically designed to guard against damage to the front wheel spindle, lower fork legs, and brake calipers. Maintenance: The nylon bobbins are replaceable. If a bobbin is damaged in a fall, you can purchase a replacement head separately, which provides a cost-effective solution for long-term protection. Installation: The kit is a “plug and play” design and comes with all necessary hardware, including the stainless steel rod and a replacement hollow spindle bolt. It does not require any permanent modifications to the motorcycle.
