Yamaha YZF-R1 crash bars with sliders

We make crash bars with sliders for the Yamaha YZF-R1. They protect the engine cases and bodywork when the bike goes down. On a fully faired sportbike like the R1, a single low-speed drop without protection means cracked fairing panels and exposed engine covers.

How crash bars with sliders work

The sliders take the first point of contact in a fall and allow the bike to slide rather than dig in. This reduces the risk of the machine catching and tumbling.
