Worried about damaging your sump, engine casing or exhaust headers? You can now get some extra protection with the new aluminium Pyramid BMW R1300GS Engine Guard.
Designed for 2023 models onwards, it uses AW 5083 aluminium, which is apparently a specialist grade known for performing well in exteme environments, and having resistance to seawater and chemicals. Which sounds like it should do the job of protecting the bottom of your BMW engine pretty well, with matte black powder-coating and gloss silver inserts fitting in with the original design of your bike.
The Pyramid BMW R1300GS Engine Guard uses the same bolt holes as the original standard undertray supplied with the bike, and comes with everything you need to secure it.
It’s not cheap at £174.99, but that’s less expensive than new exhausts, or finding yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere after smashing the bottom of your bike on an off-road obstacle.
If you’re worried about the front of your engine block, then you can also pair it with the £39.99 Pyramid Front Engine Cover, which also uses the existing mounting points and again uses the same Matte Black powder coasted aluminium.
Both parts are designed, developed and made in the UK, and you can find the Engine Guard on the Pyramid website here, and the Front Engine Cover, here. If you need the BMW R1300GS to go with the parts, you might find your next bike on eBay. And as always, you can find everything we’ve done that’s related to BMW motorcycles, here.
Other bikes which can use Pyramid engine guards include the BMW F900R and XR, the Honda MSX125 Grom, the Moto Gussy V100 Mandello, the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT and Rally, the Yamaha MT09, SP, Tracer 9 and GT, and the XSR900.
