Crash Protection

Crash Protection: hardware that takes the hit so your bodywork and levers don't

The job of crash protection is simple and mechanical: give the bike or machine a sacrificial contact point so that when it goes down or catches a branch, the impact loads into a replaceable part instead of your fairing, tank, engine cases, levers or hands. A crash slider bolts to a hard mounting point and lets the machine slide rather than dig in. Hand guards and brush guards mount at the bar and shield your knuckles and controls from roost, trail debris and low-speed tip-overs. You fit one because a $30 to $260 part is cheaper than the parts it protects and the downtime it saves.

What ThreePiece stocks

This category holds 18 products from 3 brands: Cycra (14 of the 18), ProTaper (3) and Burly Brand (1). Prices currently run from $27 to $261 for what is in stock right now - that is a live range, not a locked-in promise.

The range spans a few distinct part types. The Burly Brand Crash Slider Front & Rear Assembly (B10-3008B) sits at the top of the range at about $261 as a full front-and-rear set. Cycra's CRM Ultra hand-guard kits come in color combinations like the white shields with black covers (1CYC-7408-12X) and the white shields with orange covers (1CYC-7408-22X), both around $214, built for a 1-1/8 in. clamp. ProTaper brush guard kits are the budget-friendlier option here, with the Blue (023117) and Red (023118) kits both around $109.

How to choose

Pick by what you are protecting and how you ride:

  • Full slider assembly vs. single points. A front-and-rear set like the Burly assembly covers both ends in one purchase but is the biggest spend in the category.
  • Hand shields vs. brush guards. Cycra's CRM Ultra kits pair rigid shields with covers and clamp to a 1-1/8 in. bar - check your handlebar diameter first. ProTaper's brush guard kits cost roughly half as much if your priority is knuckle and lever protection over full wrap-around shielding.
  • Color match. Several kits differ only by color, so match your existing plastics rather than paying for a spec you don't need.

Confirm your handlebar size before you order any clamp-on guard. If you're changing bars at the same time, browse Handlebars so the clamp diameter and your new bar agree.

What else you need with it

Crash protection lives in the Exterior section alongside parts that often get fitted in the same session. Protect the vulnerable ends and edges of a truck or off-road build with Mud Flaps and Tow Hooks, and keep control visibility in mind with Mirrors. For lighting that survives trail use, see LED Light Bars and the broader Lighting range.

Fitment help and ordering

None of these products carry vehicle fitment data in our listings, so match by handlebar diameter, mounting points and part number, and call if you're unsure. Fitment help is available by phone at 813-535-5801, or use the wheel fitment calculator for related sizing questions. All orders ship free, and Affirm and Katapult financing is available at checkout.
