Please support on us Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/dirtbikechannel or Donate directly on https://www.dirtbikechannel.com/donate/ The Cycra Ultra ProBend hand guards are the best and easiest to install full wrap hand guards that I’ve tested to this point. I have tried a few different brands over the years and installed many, many of them on various dirt bikes that I’ve owned and even installed them on friends bikes too. The fit and finish of these Cycra guards are second to none. You get all the mounting hardware you need (assuming you order the right kit) and everything just works. There are enough flexible mounting positions to accommodate your specific situation. They come in many different colors for all the various bikes out there. Some guys won’t ride without full wrap around hand guards, while others won’t ride with them. The guys that don’t want to ride with them are worried about breaking their wrists/arms when crashing or getting tied up in the bars should their hands slip down between the bars and the guards. Certainly that can happen, but the flip side of that coin is that full wrap around guards tend to offer much better protection to your hands against hitting trees and other rocks. In short, they can keep you from breaking your fingers on hard things. Don’t ask me how I know! The full wrap guards also offer the most protection to your levers and handlebars. One thing to note it that is does make your bars more stiff and some riders don’t like that feeling, but it hasn’t bothered me to be honest. Special thanks to my $10/month patrons!

I have these and really like them. Very durable. The only complaint I have had is that they do expose the pinky just barely. I have had some trees hit my pinky finger, overall prefer the styling instead of having the protector all the way to the end of the bar.

Friend I'm from Brazil, I'm Vanio; I own a handlebar Renthal Twin wall Ref: 922 to Ref: (A) Is 85.5 in length would it give?

Another great review @DirtBikeChannel Do u see any benefits of cycra's HCM mount vs the CRM clamp mount? Planning on replacing my U-clamp handguards as they're bent beyond repair.
-
I feel like riding with handguards balance the bars out more. Everytime i ride without them the bars feel jerky and real light.
-
How come you have one black bolt?
-
highway dirt bike guards seem to be the best ive seen.most expensive too though.
-
Would you do a comparison of these hand guards to the Acerbis X Factor hand guard? I ran The ProBend for years before trying the X Factor and I'm way impressed with the Acerbis. They lock into place with a slot to prevent them from spinning in a crash. They also come with a tapered bushing for fat bars that prevents the mount from slowly grinding its way through your bars and weakening them. Great video though!

Another great video Kyle! I've had cycra probend handguards on my 350 xcfw since day one! They have definitely saved the controls on more than one occasion!
-
When is the cylinder head review coming out? Thanks!
-
I would like to get a set of those I don't like the cheesey one's that the original owner installed.do they come in other color's orange one's for my KTM would be nice
-
Not only are they great at saving your bars, fingers, clutch, and brake but they look awesome on a bike!!!
-
question... I have a pair of fat bars on my bike and my normal handguard clamps aren't wide enough to fit around... will these manage it in your experience?
-
no one could show this product any better! good job!
-
Full wraps are the only way to go ..
-
I won't ride a bike that has hand guards lol, I've been over the bars and you don't want anything catching when your going over
-
Kyle, your production value and editing skills keep continuing to improve. Just when I thought DBC couldn't get any better I'm impressed again! Keep up the good work buddy. Helpful review.
-
Great video, love this channel. A ton of great advice, helps me out a lot, keep up the great work.

You're missing a bolt on the lt. guard. I like the Cycra pro bend much better than any others. I used Acerbis and first small crash the plastic shield broke half way across at the mount. I will go back to the Cycra s again. Thanks for the review.
-
Kyle, you've totally converted, you're not even wearing KTM colours anymore!
-
The wrist issue I hear often, but never even came close since I've been using these. Hope it stays that way :)
