RG09 F is the version for bikes with a factory-fitted OEM SPAL fan. Without a fan there is RG09, and the open frame for bikes with a fan is RG10 F. If you want to add a fan, RG09 Fan Set contains the guards together with a SPAL fan. For model years 2017–2019 there is RG02 F (and RG01), and for 2024–2027 RG17 F and RG18 F.

A radiator on an enduro bike is a thin aluminium core with fins. In a fall onto its side the core bends or twists, the channels crack and coolant leaks out. Without coolant the engine overheats quickly, so a punctured radiator usually means being towed home. RG09 F protects the radiators against bending and impacts, and the internal supports brace against the bike's frame and are fixed to it, so the force of an impact goes into the frame.

The factory OEM fan stays on the bike, only on a different mounting: you take it off the factory bracket and move it onto the bracket supplied in the kit. The RG10 F version has an open frame and weighs 0.83 kg.

We bend the guards from PA11 aluminium sheet (AlMg3, EN AW-5754), 4 mm thick, and TIG-weld them. After welding we clean and polish them. It is an alloy with about 3% magnesium, used to build boats because it resists corrosion even in salt water. 4 mm sheet is stiff, keeps its shape and stands up well to abrasion. The set weighs 1.50 kg, which is 0.06 kg more than RG09 without a fan, because it includes the fan bracket.

The kit contains guards for both radiators, the fan bracket and the mounting hardware. The OEM fan has to be moved onto the mounting supplied with the kit. No drilling or changes to the bike are needed.

We design the guards from a 3D scan of the specific bike and cut them on CNC machines in Katowice, Poland. Professional riders test every new model before it goes on sale.
