If you’ve ever been hit on the fingers by a stone or various other bits of debris launched at you by the wheels of a vehicle in front, then you’ll appreciate why the new Pyramid Handguards for the Yamaha MT09 and MT-09 SP might be worth the investment.
Produced in the UK, they’re made from tough and durable ABS plastic, designed to suit the angular styling of the SP, and look like they might have been fitted as original equipment. And along with lowering the chance of being injured by flying rubbish, you’ll also be shielded from the wind, rain and insects. Which can make a difference if you struggle when your hands get cold and wet.
The handguards are built for you to be able to fit them easily via the bar end and mirror mount, so you don’t need to modify anything, and they won’t get in the way of the brake and clutch lever. All the fittings required are supplied, and Pyramid have been making handguards for years, covering a huge range of motorcycle models, so they should be pretty good at it by now.
Both of the new Pyramid Handguards for the Yamaha MT-09 and MT-09 SP come in Matte Black and fit model years 2024 onwards, costing £94.99. Previous MT-09 model years are also available, e.g. the 2021-2023 fitment. And some universal options are also available if your bike isn’t specifically catered for. You can find all the options via the Pyramid website, along with the other add-ons designed for the Yamaha MT09, included an Extenda Fenda, a Spray Guard and a Tail Tidy.
Originally launched in 2013, find our previous coverage of the Yamaha MT-09 and any relevant products, here. And the Yamaha MT-09 SP followed later in 2018. So if you fancy any older version, you can find plenty of examples for sale on sites including eBay.
