Akrapovič has turned its fabrication and welding skills to making another set of engine protection bars, this time for the BMW R1300 GS and R1300 GS Adventure. The bars fit snugly around the engine and frame, so they don’t affect the lean angle available, and are made from sandblasted 25mm titanium tubing. The crash bars are themselves protected by replaceable 2.5mm thick carbon fibre panels. The claim is that the construction is as strong as steel but around 40% lighter, weighing just 2.8kg, making the bars some of the lightest on the market. They also have the ability to make a wallet much lighter too – they have an SRP of £1399!
