Looks like there is finally a solid aftermarket Motor guard for Rails

There were a few people posting about cracking the stock one. I posted this for those guys that were looking.... This one won't crack and need to be replaced more then once. I guess they bash into rocks a bit more than you do. Anyways I have $10k into my Rail, which I think is about £7250. I'm not really worried about 44

Where did you get it and hopefully it's available in the US?
My stock one it getting beat up on the rocks and been looking for something stronger.

Ordered.
$22 shipping sucks but I think it’s cheap insurance for tech trails I like

a friend of mine ordered protection for his engine from the page www.amygos.fr
the protections are in very good quality and well adapted, the owner is also very helpful

Maybe the protection quality is good but the webpage quality is low. Too messy.
I did the same landed in a nasty rock garden. Until they make one that protect the fins I’m staying stock.

Ive officially tested it hard(by accident) and it didnt even scuff, not that the factory guard is crap, but this just helps out.
They seem to sell the metal Protect EMTB units from the first post above in Australia. AUD$120ish. Bit steep for a bit of bent, painted metal. But as someone mentioned, it's for a AUD$12,500 bike, protecting one of the more expensive components on it other than the frame. Just wish it was 6 months from now when I'll have access to a plasma cutter and a sheet metal bender.
I notice the carbon ones, like Rockguardz, flare out a little in width where the battery's cooling fins are. The Protect EMTB units don't seem to do this. Are hard strikes in this area (cooling fins) a common concern?
disclaimer: Haven't owned or ridden a Rail but it's very likely I'm going to pull the trigger on one within the week. Just reading up on parts to get while I wait for it to arrive. One of these and protective film are at top of the list along with some Minions.

That’s correct and the bottom side connected by Velcro which I initially thought would not hold but have not an issue since fitted and loads of strikes hardly a mark. Also my bike is a cube but same product, for overseas buyers the seller also has these on EBay would that not be cheaper for shipping.
