Panic Crash Bars

 

Panic Crash Bars, also known as crash bars, crash guards, or engine guards, are protective bars installed on motorcycles, bicycles, and some other vehicles. They serve several purposes and offer various benefits:

 

1. Rider Protection:

   - Reduced Injury Risk: In the event of a low-speed crash or tip-over, panic crash bars can help protect the rider by preventing direct contact between the rider and the ground or other obstacles.

 

2. Motorcycle Protection:

   - Prevent Damage: Panic bars act as a buffer between the motorcycle and the ground or surrounding objects, minimizing damage to the bike in case of a fall or collision.

   - Protection for Engine and Frame: They are often designed to protect critical components such as the engine, frame, and fairings from scratches, dents, and other damage.

 

3. Ease of Lifting:

   - Assist in Lifting: Panic bars can provide leverage points, making it easier for a rider or bystander to lift a fallen motorcycle back onto its wheels.

 

4. Versatility:

   - Mounting Points: Some Panic Crash Bars come with additional mounting points, allowing riders to attach accessories such as highway pegs, auxiliary lights, or other modifications.
