reinforcement bar for the original engine protection bar R 1300 GS and GS Adventure - stainless steel

The Wunderlich reinforcement bars complement the original engine protection bar and provide solid extra protection for the sides of the BMW R 1300 GS and GS Adventure

Function and Product Features

• The rear, free ends of the original engine protection bar on the right and left have no support against the frame, making them the weak point of the protection bar
• These reinforcement bars eliminate this weakness, support the engine protection bar, and optimise the rigidity of the entire tube structure
• They prevent the protection bar from yielding, reduce the risk of cylinder damage, and decrease the likelihood of costly consequential damage
• The acting forces and moments are distributed over additional mounting points on the right and left sides
• The additional mounting points help to dissipate force and moment peaks
• The shape of the reinforcement bars also contributes to the elastic absorption of impact loads
• The extra protection reduces the risk of injury to shins, ankles, and feet in the event of a fall, enhancing passive safety for both bike and rider
• Perfect fit
• Integrated, seamless solution thanks to the smart connecting element to the original protection bar
• Quick and easy to install

The reinforcement struts fit like a glove and effectively address the weaknesses of the two open flanks of the standard engine protection bar. They provide significantly more passive safety.

The rear, unsupported ends of standard engine protection bars typically lack any bracing against the frame, as is the case with the BMW R 1300 GS and GSA. This creates a critical vulnerability in the engine protection bar. During a fall or impact, they may flex elastically or, under high stress, deform plastically, as forces and moments are not directly transferred to and supported by the frame. This poses a risk of collateral damage, such as to the cylinders.

Our reinforcement struts, made of precision stainless steel tubing with a diameter of 25 millimetres, effectively support, strengthen, and optimise the standard engine protection bar.

They fit like a glove and effectively address the weaknesses of the two open flanks of the standard engine protection bar. They provide significantly more passive safety.

Smart connectors link the reinforcement struts and the respective rear, unsupported end of the engine protection bar to the frame. This ensures that forces are further absorbed through the bar and directed to the frame structure at an appropriate point. This measure prevents the engine protection bar from yielding. It also enhances the stiffness of the entire tubing assembly, while its design allows for the elastic dissipation of peak loads. Additionally, the reinforcement struts reduce the risk of injury to the rider's lower legs, ankles, and feet.

The surfaces are glass bead blasted and electropolished, seamlessly integrating the reinforcement into the design of the standard engine protection bar.
