Cycra is one of the first names in dirt bike plastics and protection and the Ultra Probend Hand Guard is their new superior offering when it comes to protecting your digits. Right off the bat, these things are beefy. The particular aluminum bars are CNC bar stock and have both a bend close to the clamping area to give clearance to get controls and one at the bar-end area for hand mobility. The protects have closable vents, but truthfully, we think they just look really cool. Plus there are plenty of color options. So far, the only downside we can see is that they aren't light - all that burly safety comes at a small weight price.

There is no denying that a colored hose kit can increase the bling factor of a bike, however they do more than just look good. Silicon tubes have unique properties that are usually superior to stock rubber hoses. For starters, they have a higher temperature rating, higher burst pressure, and are more abrasion resistance than O. E. Meters. hoses. What makes CV4’s Radiator Silicone Hose Kit different than other silicone hoses is that, for certain models, they offer a Y-Kit, pictured above. The particular Y-Kit name is referring to the way the hoses meet each other. Most share hose routing has T-junctions in which the hoses meet perpendicularly. But the Y hoses meet at acute sides and which increase flow and reduce the amount of turbulence in the hoses.

Most modern goggles have “outriggers” that hold the band farther out and normally offer a better seal on the riders face. But Thor’s new Sniper Chase goggle has flush strap junctions that have a clean look. But , the goggle itself is pretty serious so it should still sit pretty deep in the helmet and offer a great seal. The top and bottom parts of the frame have tons of openings for ventilation and there is 14mm, dual-layer face foam for convenience and sweat absorption. Although the lens is not rigid like some newer goggles, the frame sections throughout the brow are injection molded so that the goggle holds its contour.

This is a simple item that we are not sure why didn’t exist until recently. It is a veer plate extender that protects your bike’s linkage while also which makes it easier to slide over rocks, records, and the like. One down side is that you need to already have a skid plate, yet this is a simpler solution than a few of the other linkage protectors on the market. The obvious benefits are that it helps prevent damage to your bike’s linkage and prevents it from digging into hurdles, but it also keeps your linkage cleaner, which is good for all those bearings plus seals.
