Now that you’re the proud owner of a Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z – or maybe have one on order – you want crash bars to protect it. Ours are built from one inch stainless steel so they’ll never rust, and feature beautiful hand TIG welds.
In designing these crash bars, we went through the trouble of maintaining the hidden connector in the front to yield a seamless system. Why is that important? It means the energy of a hard impact on one side can be transferred throughout the bars and to the other side. The three mounts on one side don’t have to take an entire impact load; instead, it is distributed across six mount mounts so none of them are overwhelmed. All of this is important because the crash bars will not only protect the fairing in the case of a crash, but also the Super Tenere’s exposed radiator.
We also conducted a thorough study to identify the bike’s contact points when on its side. This led to a crash bar design that offers a wide contact area between the crash bars and the ground. The other contact points will be the handlebar bar ends, and rear passenger peg – protecting the fairing, engine, radiator, and brake and shifter lever.
The crash bars are constructed and mounted so that both side panels have clearance to be accessed with the bars are still mounted. The gas tank cover can easily be removed in order to access the air filter. The right hand side is easy to access both the battery and glove box. With the left side, it is still possible to access, however it is a tight fit. We designed it this way since it is less likely the left side would be accessed.
