hey all
Finally got my Acerbis X grip frame guards in for my beta.http://www.acerbis.it/motorsport/en/product/plastics/x-grip-frame-protectors/0022894#a_page
so 2013-2017 are the same part number.. as far as I know 2018 have not been released yet.
so over all I think the build is good.
they are longer then the stock frame guards by about 6 inches
the plastic is thicker then the stock. then add the thickness of the rubber. but over all I think they are 1.5 times thicker then the stock.
the rubber is a harder rubber that I think should last long yet still be grippy.
as for price they worked out to be 70 CND which also included shipping. I would not be surprised if the local bike shops sold these for round 50-65 CND if and when they come to the Canadian market.
From discussions on this forum Acerbis USA is bringing in round 15 ish sets for afterhourscycle.com to sell but there has not been a date for when the stock will be available to the US market.
See this thread http://www.betarider.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2559
from what I understand it will be round late this year or early 2018
Contact afterhourscycle.com if your interested as he has spoke with Acerbis to get a order of these.
Acerbis USA was not going to bring this part number for the betas in to the USA and Canadian markets as they did not feel that Beta had a large enough following.. But with the Interest from afterhourscycle.com and others I am sure its going to quickly prove Acerbis USA wrong.
I will have a ride report with them after this weekend when I ride
