The racers know it: you just have re-built the engine with a lot of effort and passion and also painted your scooter and then you crash out in a corner and you can start all over again. Classical crash bars are not actually meant for the track, the distance between the chassis and the crash bar is too big and therefore hinder the agility of the vehicle. The crash pads - a new product in the Serie Pro series - will solve this problem once and for all.
The pads come in a set of three with an engine bolt and shock absorber mount. The originally installed parts are simply replaced with the ones from the set. The hard plastic parts loom a few inches above the engine and protects it in case of a fall, without coming in your way while driving. Massive angle and tight overtaking… all this is no problem with the crash pads.
The pads were developed on the race track but benefit of course all the daily riders who wants to protect his scooter, but dont´t like the style and chrome look of the classic crash bars.
Conclusion: cool gimmick, if you want to have a decent or more stylish crash protection.
SIP-TIP:
Crash bars and pads protect your scooter but not you. Therefore it is necessary that you always wear proper protective clothing, protectors etc..
