Hand Guards

About Hand Guards

Hand Guards provide your hands protection in any setting, from enduro riding to motocross, protecting your hands from rocks from other bikes and tree branches, and can also provide warmth on-road bikes. They are a mostly universal product with fitment generally decided by the width of the riders handlebar, either a 1/8" or 7/8" bar.

With an array of styles & brands in stock at AMX, we’re sure to have something that suits your ride.

Why It’s Important To Choose The Right Hand Guards

Before choosing a handguard, it’s important to know what sort of riding you’re doing and what the most suitable style is, however at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. Most handguards feature either an open or closed-end style. Typically riders in a motorcross setting favour the open-ended style with the enduro riders choosing closed-ended. This comes from Enduro riders often needing a more wrap-around style guard similar to Barkbusters EGO range, to protect against branches and trees coming from every angle and can trade a minimal loss in maneuverability for a more well-rounded coverage. Motocross riders are typically looking for protection from the roost of other motorcycles in front of them while still maintaining an open-ended handlebar for maximum maneuverability around the bike. A lot of motocross suitable handguards also feature venting to allow airflow across the rider’s hands while still protecting them. They also serve as a great protector for levers in the case of a crash, so you are not constantly snapping those levers.
