LEVER GUARDS

Brake and clutch lever protectors for track bikes

Brake and clutch lever protectors are an essential component on race and track bikes. Designed to improve safety, these accessories prevent unintentional lever activation, protecting the rider and the bike in high speed situations or contact with other riders.

At BeRacing1 we offer a wide range of protectors, spare parts and adapters, compatible with different types of levers and handlebars.

Importance of lever protectors in competition

In the world of high performance motorcycling, any interference with braking can have serious consequences. Lever guards serve several key functions:

1. They prevent unintentional activation: In racing and track practice, contact between riders is common. If the brake lever is operated unexpectedly, this can lead to wheel lock-up and crashes.
2. Impact and crash protection: The pads also help prevent damage to the lever in the event of a crash, reducing the possibility of breakage and allowing the rider to continue racing or training.
3. Regulatory compliance: In many competitions, the use of lever guards is mandatory according to FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) regulations to improve safety on the track.

Available types of lever guards

There are several types of lever guards, designed to suit different needs and bike configurations:

Depending on the material

Machined aluminium: Provides maximum strength and durability.

Carbon and composite fibre: Offer light weight and high impact resistance.

By design

Fixed: Permanently mounted on the end of the handlebar.

Adjustable: Allows the angle and position to be adjusted to suit different riders and riding conditions.

Installation and Maintenance of Lever Guards

To ensure a correct installation, it is important to check the compatibility of the protector with the type of handlebar and lever of the bike. Specific adapters are available for different makes and models, allowing a secure and stable attachment without the need for additional modifications.

Installation step by step

1. Remove the handlebarweights if installed.
2. Check the compatibility of the protector with the internal diameter of the handlebar.
3. Install the adapter if necessary, ensuring a tight fit.
4. Secure the lever guard in the desired position, ensuring that it does not interfere with lever travel.
5. Adjust the tilt and distance to suit the rider's ergonomics.

Maintenance and periodic checks

1. Check that the fixing bolts are correctly tightened before each ride.
2. Check for possible damage after falls or impacts.
3. Replace any worn or damagedcomponents to ensure safety.
