Acerbis X-Ultimate Handguards White/Black — Universal Nylon Mount, Removable Shields

Acerbis X-Ultimate Handguards in White/Black are lightweight, open-design handguards that mount universally to provide durable protection and ventilation for off-road motorcycles.

Built from decades of race-proven development, the X-Ultimate pairs a tough nylon mounting system with removable upper and lower shields so riders can balance protection and airflow. The open-guard philosophy reduces wind resistance while still deflecting branches, stones and trail debris. These handguards are sized and engineered to work with most dirt and enduro handlebars and offer a straightforward, serviceable design for quick adjustments on the trail.

How do these handguards attach to my bike?

The X-Ultimate uses a universal mounting system that secures behind the handlebar pump area and clamps to standard bars. The nylon mount provides a resilient, vibration-resistant interface that absorbs impacts and keeps the shield aligned. Installation is designed to be quick with common tools, and the clamp position can be adjusted for fitment.

• Universal clamp fits most 7/8" and 1-1/8" handlebars
• Nylon mounting reduces transmitted vibration
• Mounts behind the pump for compact routing
• Adjustable clamp position for different lever spacing

What protection and ventilation do the open shields provide?

The open handguard design offers a balance between shielding and airflow. Removable upper and lower shields let you configure the guards for more coverage in rough terrain or increased ventilation in hot conditions. The shields deflect branches and light impacts without creating a large wind surface that can buffet controls at speed.

• Upper and lower shields are removable for airflow control
• Open profile reduces wind drag on the hands and levers
• Deflects small branches, pebbles and trail debris
• Shields snap on/off for quick field changes

Will these handguards fit with my levers and controls?

Designed for compatibility, the X-Ultimate clears common lever and control layouts while keeping the guard close enough to protect. The mount's placement behind the pump helps maintain access to master cylinders and throttle assemblies. If you use oversized aftermarket levers or large switch assemblies, a quick mock-up is recommended to confirm clearance.

• Clearance for most factory and many aftermarket levers
• Mounting behind the pump preserves master cylinder access
• Low-profile shields limit interference with hand position
• Easy to reposition to avoid contact with controls

How durable and serviceable are the components?

Acerbis engineered the X-Ultimate with long-term trail use in mind: the nylon mount resists cracking and the shields are replaceable. The modular design means damaged shields can be swapped without replacing the entire assembly, and the hardware uses standard fasteners for simple field maintenance. This approach keeps repairs fast and cost-effective.

• Nylon mounting resists impact and stress fatigue
• Replaceable upper and lower shields minimize part costs
• Standard fasteners make roadside repairs possible
• Proven development history from off-road racing experience

Who is this for? The Acerbis X-Ultimate Handguards suit trail riders, enduro racers and recreational off-roaders seeking a lightweight, adjustable guard that prioritizes ventilation without sacrificing essential protection. They're a good match for riders who want a rugged, serviceable solution that fits a wide range of bikes and can be quickly adapted for different riding conditions.
