Engine protection? That’s usually only for the touring enduro, that occasionally ventures off-road. But the underride guard also makes sense for other motorcycle concepts too. Even hand guards were originally only for enduros.
The functional edge design and the careful integration of the single-piece, aluminium STREET engine protection offers full protection for the engine casings, oil pans, manifolds and the catalytic converter. The integrated ventilation openings on the front, left and right sides support the cooling of the engine and aggregates, particularly when travelling long distances on a motorway. Angled baffles deflect stone chips or foreign bodies thrown up by the front wheel in such a way that the risk of damage to the manifolds and the engine is considerably reduced. A further advantage of this engine protection can be seen when crossing ruts, for example. It deflects swirling spray water downward and considerably reduces thermal stress on the engine casing, manifolds and seals, especially when the engine is hot.
The recessed screw connections offers no contact surface on the underside and emphasises the edge styles in the best way. At the same time, the black powder-coated engine protection hugs the engine tightly, ensuring the greatest possible ground and lean angle. The shape of the protection prevents it from being levered out or snagged. Openings ensure that any water or spray picked up can flow out freely again.
It has solid screw connections at four points using two precisely fitting brackets. External forces and torques are distributed over four generously sized, shock-absorbing silent blocks to the four mounts to reduce load peaks. Vibrations are effectively absorbed by the silent blocks.
Typically Wunderlich, the team have made sure that you have good, unrestricted access during maintenance works: for example, an opening has been included for unhindered drainage of the engine oil.
The aluminium engine protection is corrosion resistant and is finished with a black coating. We were able to optimise the component weight and at the same time achieve high component rigidity and mechanical stability of form. The result is a resistant, weight- and shape-optimised engine protection that follows the design principle of "form follows function"; fitting snugly and thus perfectly flanking the flyline of the motorcycle. And it doesn't look like an enduro.
