Aluminum construction with technical refinement
The Defensa Leverguard is made of high-strength, drop-forged aluminum and is anodized as well as additionally finished with a fine-structure powder coating. This gives the black guard, complete with matching end cap, an understated yet robust look as an addition to the new R 12 G/S. Thanks to model-specific manufacturing, the guard blends harmoniously into the BMW's overall appearance.
Protective effect in all riding situations
Touratech points out that the Leverguard can prevent lever breakage in the event of a fall or collision. The system also protects against unintentional actuation of the levers - for example by branches off-road or in tight traffic situations. This is an aspect that is meant to offer not only comfort but also safety. Such lever guards have long been standard in motorsport to avoid operating errors that could lead to crashes.
