Machineart has updated its Advance Guard handguards for the BMW R1250 GS Adventure, saying the new ones are both tougher and lighter than their predecessors. The guards are now made with a nylon composite, rather than aluminium, frame but still have the open-front design for airflow with a snap-in infill included for colder days. An adjustable shield also allows for further airflow control.
However they are configured, Machineart says the guards will protect the rider’s hands, as well as brake and clutch levers, from impacts or drop damage. Available for BMW’s R1250 and R1200 GS and Adventure models, plus F650/700/800/Adventure and R1200R LC models, the guards have an SRP of £219 per pair including fittings.
