The VIBRAM set of frame guards is designed for HONDA CRF 250, CRF 450 from 2009 to 2013. In constant contact with your boots, the frame ends up scratched down to bare metal. Dedicated guards preserve the frame and improve your leg grip, in corners as well as in ruts.

Choosing the colour

The colour changes neither protection nor grip: pick it to match your bike's graphics.

When do you need it?

• Frame scratched or paint worn where your boots rub.
• Boots sliding on the frame when you grip the bike.
• Old guards peeling off, torn or worn smooth.

Check the model and years: the guards follow the shape of the frame. Fit them on a clean frame, ideally before wear gets through the paint or into the aluminium.

Fitting tips

1. Clean and degrease the frame area thoroughly, then let it dry.
2. Dry-fit each guard to find its exact position, on the right side and the left side.
3. Peel the backing off the adhesive and fit the guard, pressing firmly over its whole surface.
4. Let the adhesive cure, ideally overnight at room temperature, before riding or washing the bike.

Why VIBRAM?

Vibram, founded in 1937 by Vitale Bramani and based in Albizzate (Italy), takes its name from its founder. The inventor of the lugged rubber sole, Vibram puts its expertise in non-slip rubber to work in frame guards for off-road bikes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to apply heat when fitting them?
In cold weather, gently warming the frame and the adhesive with a hairdryer helps them bond. Avoid fitting them on a damp or cold frame.

Do the guards get in the way when riding?
No: they follow the shape of the frame and actually improve how well your boots hold against the bike.
