R&G Aero Style Crash Protectors are aerodynamic engine-mounted bobbins designed to protect your motorcycle's frame, engine casings, and fairings during a tip-over or slide. The teardrop "Aero Bobbin" profile gives a cleaner, more streamlined look than traditional round sliders, with concealed mounting hardware for a factory-tidy finish.
Key Features
- Aerodynamic teardrop Aero Bobbin shape for reduced drag and sleeker appearance
- HDPE (high-density polyethylene) bobbin material for controlled abrasion resistance during a slide
- De-embrittled mounting bolts designed to bend rather than snap under severe impact — protecting the mounting points from damage
- Aluminium, steel, and machined component assembly for overall robustness
- Concealed mounting hardware for a clean, finished look
- Keeps frame, engine casings, and fairings off the ground during a fall
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Aero Bobbins different from standard round sliders? The teardrop profile reduces aerodynamic drag and provides a more streamlined, integrated appearance compared to traditional cylindrical crash bobbins.
Why are de-embrittled bolts important? Standard bolts can snap under severe impact, transferring damaging force directly to the frame. De-embrittled bolts are engineered to bend instead, absorbing energy and protecting the mounting points.
What material is the bobbin made from? HDPE — a tough, abrasion-resistant plastic that slides in a controlled manner during a crash, wearing progressively to protect the bike beneath.
