Our Flag Style Handguards are built for riders who demand maximum protection, durability, and performance. Crafted from high-quality UHMW, each set is expertly milled and thermoformed into an ergonomic shape for optimal coverage. The added lower protection helps deflect branches and twigs, preventing them from catching your fingers at high speeds. UHMW offers unmatched durability, withstanding more abuse than any other plastic, ensuring long-lasting performance in the toughest riding conditions.

Four Style Choices (Including Colors)

• Moto Flags: Ideal for motocross, open desert, and dunes. Provides excellent roost protection while remaining light, flexible, and durable with good coverage against flying debris.
• Enduro Flags: Perfect for dense brush, wooded trails, and technical off-road riding. Stiff enough to protect handlebar components in a spill, yet flexible enough to deflect off trees, keeping your momentum and reducing jarring impacts. Side-impact protection is improved with mounts positioned outside the clutch, brake perch.
• Wrap-Around Style Handguards: Offers full wrap-around protection. View Wrap-Around Style Handguards.
• Hand Cover Flags: Enduro-thickness handguards designed specifically for use with Hippo Hands Hand Covers. Handguards for Hippo Hands.

Design Notes

Our Flag Style Handguard design uses a one-piece 7000 series aluminum mount. Placing the mount near the clutch, brake perch allows the aluminum to absorb much of the impact in a severe tip-over, while also protecting the perch and brake lines. The mount width has been optimized to free up handlebar space compared to traditional handguards. Through multiple design iterations, we’ve balanced mount strength to reduce the force transferred to the handlebars in a crash, helping prevent bent bars. We’d rather you bend a mount (easy fix) than a handlebar.

The plastic flag is thermoformed from solid UHMW using the same proprietary process as our skid plates. This ensures the plastic holds its shape better under impact. Its contour has been refined over several versions to shield the upper hand from rock roost and the outer fingers from brush. This lets you push through challenging terrain with less fatigue, making rides smoother and races faster.

Enduro vs. Moto Flags

Enduro Flags: Preferred by most woods riders. The thickest handguard flags available, they provide a suspension-like feel, letting you sense obstacles without losing control, while still pushing past them.

Moto Flags: Similar in stiffness to OEM handguards, but with significantly more coverage and protection.

Similarities: Same mount, same shape. Just different flex! Flags can be purchased separately and used with your existing mounts. Have a second of a different thickness for different terrain conditions.
