Rizoma Pro Guard System Hand/Lever protectors
As used in the European ParkinGo Triumph Street Triple R race series and by Marc Marquez in Moto2! Another new innovation from Rizoma. These Pro Guard hand and lever protectors are designed to stop accidental brake application in addition to reducing damage to levers and hands. These are available in a range of anodised colours and are sold 'per side' so you need to order two for a pair. Requires fitting kit sold separately (just choose model required).
safety Accidental contact during a number of recent motorcycle races, there have been accidents resulting in injurious falls caused by the contact of the front brake lever with a lateral or rear point of another bike. Inadvertent contact with an obstacle, with the same ensuing consequence, may possibly happen off the track, as well. aerodynamics Speed exerts negative influence on the aerodynamics. PROGUARD SYSTEM® solves the problem. Analyzing the data obtained from the race track, it’s been shown that once the 180 km/h (112 mph) speed is exceeded, both brake and clutch levers undergo frontal pressure caused by the air resistance. This results in a value variation up to 0.7-0.8 bar (10.2-11.6 psi) in the hydraulic system and leads to brake wear and clutch slippage. To decrease these inconveniences and to avoid any possible efficiency loss, the ends of our brake and clutch levers have been machined in a specific way that allows the discharge of air flow. As a result, the problem has been significantly reduced, but it’s obvious that the air pressure exerted on the front levers at high speed does not allow its complete elimination by lever design alone. The PROGUARD SYSTEM® removes more of the pressure caused by the air on the lever, as to avoid brake wear and overheating consequences, as well as the clutch slippage and effectiveness losses. All this is achieved through this aerodynamic part. style Extreme attention to every small detail and use of the most efficient materials distinguishes this invention, as well. The typical style of all Rizoma products always serves as evidence of an attentive consideration for the aesthetics and design. This results in an emotional effect, the ability to arouse positive sensations together with the functional and hi-tech aspect.
