Description
This is the Rizoma side sliders kit, part number PM596, designed as frame crash protection for the BMW S1000RR. Rizoma develops its sliders specifically for each motorcycle model, which the company says guarantees the best possible compatibility and practicality on the bike. The main body of each slider is machined from billet aluminium, while the sliding puck itself is made from Delrin, a hard-wearing engineering plastic chosen so that it can be replaced easily and inexpensively after an accident. In the event of a fall the pucks are intended to take the impact and allow the bike to slide, helping protect the fairings, frame and engine area rather than letting them dig into the ground. In keeping with Rizoma’s design-led approach, the sliders combine simple, clean lines with close attention to detail, so they function as protection while also acting as an appealing styling feature on the motorcycle. The kit is supplied as a pair and comes with all the hardware required for installation, with no modification to the bike needed, and assembly is quick. Frame sliders of this calibre are a popular upgrade for sport riders who want both genuine crash protection and a finish that matches the quality of the rest of the machine.
