In motocross, your front brake is everything. It’s your control, your confidence, your stopping power. That’s exactly why I run the Acerbis Linear Disc Guard — it gives me the protection I need without compromising performance.

Why the Acerbis Linear Disc Guard?

This disc guard has been a serious upgrade to my setup, and here’s why:

  • Quick Fit
    It mounts directly to the wheel axle nut — no spacers or tricky brackets. Just fit and go.
  • Serious Protection
    It covers the front disc, left fork leg, and calliper, giving you solid protection from rocks, roots, and roost.
  • Built-in Ventilation
    The guard features multiple vent windows to keep air flowing, helping prevent brake fade even under heavy use.
  • Easy Access
    You can still access the suspension adjuster and bolts without removing the guard. Handy for quick tuning between motos.

This thing fits discs up to 280 mm and is compatible with a wide range of bikes, including KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and more.

My Verdict

The Acerbis Linear Disc Guard has become an essential part of my bike setup. It’s lightweight, tough, and does exactly what it’s meant to do — protect the front end without getting in the way.

Big thanks to @bikewise.za for keeping my bike kitted out with the best, and to @acerbismotorsport for designing products that work as hard as we do.

Ride smart. Protect your brakes. Keep it on the pipe.
