MachineartMoto, the New Jersey based designers of specialized products for BMW motorcycles, announce the X-Head 1250 cylinder guards for 2019 BMW Shift Cam twin cylinder engines. X-Head 1250 are the 4th generation of super tough, break resistant X-Heads designed for R1200 models from 2005 thru 2018 model years. The 2019 X-Head 1250 continues the wide coverage, crash proven protection, and beautifully integrated design that distinguishes X-Head cylinder guards in the BMW market.

X-Head 1250 are designed to cover 75% of the face of the head to protect not only the bottom/front initial impact area in a drop, but also the center upper part of the cylinder head. Even in a stationary drop, inertia will cause the bike to roll onto the upper face of the head before it settles down.

The X-Head 1250 design benefits from "SuperTough" nylon technology successfully proven in use with the X-Head_LC, X-Head DOHC and X-Head SOHC models currently in the product line. With its blend of high impact strength, temperature and UV stabilization, the injection molded polymer shell is slightly ductile in impact to prevent breakage. On the inside of the shell is a thick thermoplastic rubber, heat resistant liner that rests against the face of the cylinder to aid in dissipating impact force while preventing hard contact. Each side mounts with 3 stainless steel M5 T25 Torx screws.

X-Head 1250 provide protection for riders who do not like the look of crash bars, but they are designed to fit with BMW and select aftermarket crash bars for riders who choose to use both. X-Head 1250 cylinder guards fit the R1250 GS/A, RT, RS, and R models. 

MSRP: $220.00 from authorized dealers and direct from MachineartMoto.com.
