Cycra Probend handguards w/ Solution mount

[anathema]

Let me start with the fact that I had tried some Polisport guards which did NOT properly fit the bend of the Hebo fatbars that come on the bike and I wasnt sure what bar they were close to so did not know what to get for the poor thing.

Since the mount was a bit off, i managed to break the right polisport guard right in half.

So, since I had heard the best things about the Probends from Cycra, I decided to give them a shot.

Since you cannot use the triple clamp mounts on the Gasgas because of the direction the bolts go in, the only other options were some kind of bar mount, or the solution mount.

The solution mount has a seperate mounting bar that clamps onto your bars at the fattest point just on the outside of your bar clamps on the triple clamp. You then mount the handguards to these.

It took some wrestling to get them on, and had to loosen my bars then re-tighten them after the installation, but it was not that bad at all, and boy these things are solid after they are on! I have never felt a handguard as solid/strong as these feel.

As an added bonus, I could not get my enduro computer back on after the front bar was blocking the mounting area. After pondering what to do, I tapped a small hole in the center of the cross bar on the handguards and screwed the computer to that. The bonus part is, I can now see my oil/gas lights! I never could before thanks to my Scotts damper.

Here is the difference:

NEW:


Hard to tell with the GPS mount on there but the lights are MUCH more visible! And the headlight just squeaked on..perfect.

Here are some other shots showing the mounted handguards:





I have yet to do any crash testing and will do so before recommending anything, but so far, fantastic!
