Polisport - "Hitting the Street"
Historically best known for its leading ranges of "Performance Plastics" for MX and off-road applications, internationally recognised manufacturer Polisport (from Portugal) used the return of EICMA in 2021 as a platform to showcase a new brand and product line.
Polisport Street is a new brand devoted to the street segment that will offer parts and accessories for street motorcycles. After 40 years manufacturing parts and accessories, Polisport is now to leverage that experience to give dealers access to an entirely new programme of designs for additional market opportunities.
"We have been a player in the two-wheels business for a long time," Polisport's Helder Tavares told International Dealer News, "developing and producing the best replica plastics and innovative accessories for off-road motorcycles. After 40 years in the off-road business, Polisport has cemented its position as a top quality manufacturer and premium brand, and we achieved that by gathering knowledge and developing exclusive technologies in order to improve industrial processes and produce the best motorcycle parts.
"We managed to deliver to market top-quality accessories that stand out for their design, function and quality. Polisport became the benchmark for protections and accessories for off-road bikes, and we now believe it is time for the next step - it's time for Polisport to 'Hit the Street'.
"In adding products for the street motorcycle market, we will put all our knowledge and experience into the development of parts that could genuinely add something to the segment. To innovate is at our core. We want to blend this embedded philosophy with our technology and knowledge to bring something new for the street motorcycles and for the dealers in that market."
With function and design driving the range, the initial offer will include model-specific engine cover protectors for models such as the Yamaha MT-07 Tracer, Tracer 900, Ténére 700, XSR 700/900, FZ-07/09, Kawasaki Z900 and Z650/Ninja 650, and Honda models including the CB/CBR 650s, Africa Twins and NC750 line.
Manufactured in "highly resistant polymer" with strategically positioned over-injected metal components, they feature impact-absorbing rubber inserts for even force impact distribution and ship with mounting kits that include OEM quality bolts for a durable and fully reversible, modification-free, easy install.
