New Barkbusters Ego handguard


The all-new Ego handguard design from Barkbusters is an update to its popular compact, full wrap-around aluminium handguard with its included replaceable and integrated plastic guards.

This segment-defining handguard has been made in Australia for over 20 years and repeatedly "proven itself as the strongest and most durable handguard available. Our long-awaited upgrade features a new and improved streamlined design with re-engineered hardware and plastic for greater durability and protection".



"We wanted to modernise our bestselling guard, bringing it in line with our current product range. The upgrade allows riders who currently have Egos on their bike to improve the look of their bike with the new plastic guards," says Jackson Collins, Programme Director at Barkbusters.

The toughest handguard in the Barkbusters range, and made principally for enduro, trail and minibikes, "we have engineered the Ego to withstand the toughest challenges. It has a universal fit and features two mounting points to secure the full wrap-around aluminium design for straight, tapered and mini bars - offering unrivalled impact protection for riders and their controls.

"The compact, curved profile gives strength, and optimised heat-treated aluminium backbone design is a real-world competitive advantage compared to other designs on the market. The sleek aerodynamic design promotes agility on the bike, and the round shape helps the rider bounce off trees and obstacles, protecting hands and levers during intense trail and tight bush riding. No more broken levers, skinned knuckles and damaged gloves!"

The high impact-resistant plastic guard includes top vents to ensure summer comfort, while adding the separately sold optional deflectors "offer maximum protection from the elements".

It is available in eight colourways, matched to popular motorcycle brands.
