ProTaper – Hand Guards, including Brush Guard Kits in White, Red, Blue and Black, covers the protection that stands between your hands, levers and everything the trail throws at them. Roost, branches, rocks and the ground itself all take aim at the controls, and a bent lever or a knuckle strike can end a ride instantly. The Brush Guard Kit mounts to the handlebar to deflect that debris while keeping full access to the clutch, brake and throttle, and its open design suits riders who want coverage without the weight and heat of a fully enclosed enduro shield. Four color options in white, red, blue and black let the guards match plastics and graphics rather than looking like an afterthought bolted on. Beyond crash protection, guards also shield cold hands from wind and mud on long trail days, which helps preserve feel and finger strength when it matters most. For woods riders, desert riders and anyone whose practice track has a tree line, this is one of the highest-value protection upgrades on the bike. Fitment is straightforward on most handlebars, and a set of guards typically outlives several sets of levers.
