R&G hugger for VFR1200F
R&G Racing, the world’s number one manufacturer of motorcycle crash protection, is expanding its award-winning product range with rear mudguard huggers. Beginning with the Honda VFR1200, the R&G hugger represents a new direction of protection products from the British brand that will help guard bikes from road debris and rear tyre spray in a bid to reduce corrosion and rear shock damage.
As well as putting a barrier between the rear tyre and suspension, the design of the hugger features an integral heel guard to stop boots rubbing away the swingarm’s finish. The Hampshire-based company has invested heavily in development, design and tooling for the new hugger. Made from ABS plastic – the same material used on R&G moulded tail tidies - the hugger is durable and simple to fit; including any bolts needed.
In announcing the new product, R&G Racing’s Sales Director, Simon Hughes, said: “The R&G Racing hugger is a natural progression in our goal to offer riders complete protection for their bikes. We are regularly asked for huggers, so we thought ‘why not?’ ”
Priced at £99.99 inc. VAT, the R&G hugger for the VFR1200 complements the aero crash protectors, fork protectors, bar end sliders, radiator guard and frame plugs also available for the touring machine.
