This engine guard is very strong despite its extremely light weight (only 280 gram / ~0.6 lb). The front part curves upwards to protect the exhaust balance pipe and to prevent it f rom digging in when hitting the ground. Everything is optimally protected even during strong ground impact. Our own intensive off-road testing with this part showed nothing more than scratches on the underside as the resistance when grounding is relatively low. Ilmberger uses pre-impregnated carbon fibre matrices for the high-quality carbon. The fibre volume is dimensions and the alignment of the individual fibres is defined. The matrix is then laminated bubble-free by hand and coated twice with a protective layer. The added clear varnish layer protects and emphasises the three-dimensional effect of the carbon structure. After hardening in the autoclave, the carbon components satisfy even the highest demands and requirements. This space age material unfolds its full potential with up to 70% weight decrease compared to the standard part and its weight-specific stiffness. Form follows function here and integrates optimally into the design of the motorcycle. The contours of the machine are incorporated as well as the material and surface texture of neighbouring series components. This carbon component underscores the high-tech claim of your BMW with the unique appeal of real carbon. The facts: Function Upgrades your BMW Mounted on the original attachment points High-quality carbon Weight saving of up to 70% compared to the original part Technical data Material: Carbon, high-quality, hand-crafted Particularities Included German Type approval Made in Europe Show more
