Wunderlich reinforcement bar for the original engine protection bar R 1300 GS - stainless steel

The Wunderlich reinforcement bars complement the original engine protection bar and provide solid extra protection for the sides of the BMW R 1300 GS

Function and Product Features

• The rear, free ends of the original engine protection bar on the right and left have no support against the frame, making them the weak point of the protection bar
• These reinforcement bars eliminate this weakness, support the engine protection bar, and optimise the rigidity of the entire tube structure
• They prevent the protection bar from yielding, reduce the risk of cylinder damage, and decrease the likelihood of costly consequential damage
• The acting forces and moments are distributed over additional mounting points on the right and left sides
• The additional mounting points help to dissipate force and moment peaks
• The shape of the reinforcement bars also contributes to the elastic absorption of impact loads
• The extra protection reduces the risk of injury to shins, ankles, and feet in the event of a fall, enhancing passive safety for both bike and rider
• Perfect fit
• Integrated, seamless solution thanks to the smart connecting element to the original protection bar
• Quick and easy to install

The reinforcement bars fit like a glove and effectively address the weaknesses at the open ends of the standard engine protection bar, ensuring significantly more passive safety

The rear, free ends of the original engine protection bars typically have no support against the frame, as is the case with the BMW R 1300 GS. This makes them the weak point of the protection bar. In a fall or impact, they may flex elastically, or even plastically under heavy stress, as the forces and moments are not directly supported by the frame. This can lead to damage, for example, to the cylinders.

Our reinforcement bars, made of precision stainless steel tubing with a diameter of 25 millimetres, effectively support, reinforce, and enhance the original engine protection bar.

They fit like a glove and address the weaknesses at the open ends of the standard engine protection bar, ensuring significantly more passive safety

Smart connectors link the reinforcement bar and the free rear ends of the engine protection bar to the frame, allowing forces to be absorbed by the bar and distributed to the frame at appropriate points. This measure prevents the protection bar from yielding, adds stiffness to the entire tube structure, and provides elastic absorption of impact loads. The reinforcement bars also reduce the risk to the rider's lower legs, ankles, and feet.

The surfaces are glass bead blasted and electropolished, allowing the reinforcement to seamlessly integrate with the design of the original engine protection bar.
