AltRider Crash Bars Grey without Mounting Bracket - R118-6-1000 | BMW R1250GS 2019-2023

The top of the bars are secured in a total of three locations per side. The front mount is the only one on the market designed to utilize two bolts per side to increase the ability to distribute the load of any impact. The rear is held with a custom machined through-bolt that replaces the engine mount hardware -- increasing strength of the bars up to 25%. AltRider offers one of only a few designs that utilize a custom machined through-bolt. There are no plastic spacers to break upon impact. This creates an incredibly strong design that distributes any impact evenly throughout the bars and also makes a solid foundation for upper crash bars.

Another first for AltRider crash bars are the integrated 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) lower flanges designed to interface with an AltRider skid plate. This creates a modular protection system that doesn't mount directly to the motor and is substantially more robust than anything else on the market.

Other bars are fabricated by crimping then welding joints creating a forced fit with a weak bond. In this method gaps are created which are later filled with weld. The additional heat causes warpage and all-too-common installation difficulties. All AltRider joints are 5-axis laser cut creating a perfect union before the bars are hand TIG welded in a jig. This process creates a precision fit easy installation and superior strength. Using only the best manufacturing techniques means all AltRider motorcycle accessories are of the highest quality ensuring the best protection for your adventure bike.
