4 reasons why Acerbis plastics are among the best on the Czech market

Motorcycle plastics, such as frame guards, skid plates or fork protectors, are consumable parts in motocross and enduro. Sooner or later, they need to be replaced because of frequent falls, contact with terrain, pressure during washing and normal wear. In such situations, most riders in the Czech Republic choose the Acerbis brand. The reason is not only the price, but above all the combination of functionality, durability and availability that riders truly appreciate in practice.

A focus on off-road as the basis for the long service life of plastics

One of the main reasons why Acerbis plastics are so widespread is their exclusive focus on off-road. In its Acerbis moto segment, the manufacturer has long specialized in motocross and enduro, and the design of its plastic parts reflects this. The plastic compounds used in production are designed to withstand repeated falls and deformation. If the motorcycle hits something, the plastic part simply bends, absorbs part of the energy and, in most cases, returns to its original shape. For riders, this means a lower risk of cracking and a longer service life of plastics, whether you ride competitively or just for fun. This is the main difference compared with cheap alternatives, which often do not withstand even the first harder contact with the ground. 

Precise fit according to the motorcycle model and year

Another very important factor is precision of workmanship. Motorcycle plastics from Acerbis are not a universal solution; they are manufactured for specific models and years. The individual parts therefore fit the original mounting points precisely and follow the shape of the frame and other components. For example, models such as Honda CRF 450 plastics fit without tension and are installed in the same way as original parts. The same applies to plastics for KTM EXC, where nothing needs to be modified, drilled or bent. This is why KTM plastics from Acerbis are a good choice when replacing parts after a fall or renovating a motorcycle.

TIP: When ordering plastics always check not only the model, but also the year of the motorcycle. A minor change in frame design or mounting can make a difference in compatibility, which is why model-specific plastics are an advantage over universal solutions.

Colour stability of plastics during use

Colour stability also plays a major role. Acerbis does not use only a surface coating; the plastics are coloured throughout their entire structure. The colour therefore does not fade even with frequent washing, contact with cleaning agents or long-term exposure to sunlight. This means that even after one or more seasons, the plasticsremain colour-consistent and the motorcycle does not look worn out. Riders who want to keep their machine in good visual condition without frequently replacing parts will certainly appreciate this.

Availability of spare parts as an important selection factor

Availability is another reason why Acerbis plastics are so popular. Acerbis covers a wide range of models and years, so there is no need to spend a long time dealing with compatibility or waiting for delivery from abroad. The Czech market has a strong community of hobby riders and professional racers, and for all of them quick availability of spare parts is a key factor when making a decision.

The difference between plastic parts and handguards (hand guards)

A common source of confusion is the difference between motorcycle plastic parts and handguards (hand guards). Plastics refer to bodywork parts, namely fenders, side panels, number plates/masks or spoilers, which are fixed parts of the motorcycle. Acerbis handguards are protective accessories for handlebars. Their purpose is to protect the rider's hands and the motorcycle's control levers from branches, stones or damage in a fall. Acerbis handguards are made of plastic and come from the same manufacturer, but they are not the same category of parts as plastics. The confusion between these terms can arise because both products are commonly used off-road and are often dealt with at the same time.

Summary

Acerbis plastics are therefore the best-selling plastics in the Czech Republic mainly for several reasons:

1. They withstand falls and common damage in off-road terrain.
2. They fit specific models and years precisely, without the need for modifications.
3. They maintain a stable appearance even with frequent washing and use.
4. They are available for most commonly used models on the Czech market.

MEFO.CZ RECOMMENDS AND ADVISES:

• Another reason for the high popularity of Acerbis plastics is that they are manufactured directly in Italy. No plastic part is made in China.
• The company Acerbis bears the name of its founder, Mr Franco Acerbis. And who would put their name on a product if it were not high quality? That takes great courage and responsibility.
• An advantage of the plastics offered on mefoshop.com is also that a plastic kit can be colour-combined exactly according to your wishes, provided the given colour is available.
