It’s wide. It’s heavy. It’s vulnerable. And it most definitely is expensive! One of the first things that will get exposed to potential damage in the event of a drop or tip over, is the Africa Twin’s engine (case). The 27mm diameter reinforcement bar ties the engine guard and the crash bars together, increasing the strength of the overall system. This design allows for large impacts to be evenly distributed throughout the entire system, minimizing damage to the bike’s engine, frame, and other vital components.
