Kawasaki KLE 500 SE 2026 accessories from Hepco & Becker
Protection and luggage solutions for the new adventure bike
With the new Kawasaki KLE 500 SE 2026, Hepco & Becker expands its portfolio with numerous protection and luggage solutions for the mid-size adventure bike. From the engine crash bar to a complete luggage system, the accessories are designed to get the KLE ready for everyday riding, commuting and longer tours.
According to Hepco & Becker, the new components were developed specifically for the Kawasaki KLE 500 / SE and designed to work together. Adventure bike riders in particular should appreciate the combination of protective components and modular luggage solutions.
Want to know how the new Kawasaki KLE 500 SE 2026 performs on the road? 1000PS has already ridden the new adventure bike at the international press launch in Spain. The detailed test report delivers first impressions of the engine, chassis and everyday usability of the new KLE.
Protection package for road and touring
At launch, the accessory range includes several protection solutions for the engine, tank and front end. The focus is clearly on added safety on tours and during light off-road use.
The engine crash bar is designed to protect the lower section of the vehicle, while the tank crash bar provides additional protection higher up. The package is rounded off by an engine skid plate, a headlight guard and hand guards. On adventure bikes in particular, many riders now consider such accessories almost standard equipment. Especially when the twisty road gets tighter or the route heads onto gravel sections, protective components can quickly prove their worth.
Luggage solutions for everyday riding and travel
Hepco & Becker is also stepping up when it comes to luggage. Various carrier systems are available for the Kawasaki KLE 500 SE including the C-Bow holder, Easyrack, Alurack and Smartrack.
The C-Bow system is aimed at riders who want to integrate soft side bags as compactly as possible. Those who need more payload will find additional options for longer trips in the luggage rack extension or topcase solutions. Interesting: for sport-oriented riders, a special C-Bow version for the Akrapovic titanium exhaust has also been announced. According to the manufacturer, however, pillion suitability is limited with this version.
Comfort accessories for longer stages
Alongside protection and luggage, Hepco & Becker also offers comfort solutions for the new Kawasaki. These include Nova LED auxiliary lights and a side stand plate. Further products such as handlebar risers and additional luggage systems are currently still in preparation.
