“After mastering the art of handguards for the motorcycle industry I wanted to provide the same quality, innovation and design to the MTB market. Throughout the development phase of this project, we talked to many high profile and professional riders who assisted with the design process by testing our prototypes. This enabled us to make necessary adjustments to create an ideal handguard for this market.  The result is a handguard like no other on the market and is the perfect accessory for Mountain, E-Bike, Downhill, Enduro and Leisure.” Matthew Philpot, designer and CEO 1984-2020

“I am super impressed with how effective the Barkbusters MTB Handguard is out on the trail. Its ability to protect my knuckles from shrubs and branches as well as deflect off trees when I get a little too close, makes one less thing I have to think or worry about when out riding. The added stiffness of the MTB guard gives me loads of confidence when charging down a trail or fire road.  Exploring old or new trails in the scrub is more enjoyable now that my hands and knuckles are protected by Barkbusters MTB handguards.” Josh Carlson, Giant Factory Off Road Team, 2020 Australian E-Bike Cross Country & Enduro Mountain Bike Champion

Barkbusters MTB handguards are now available in the United States for $59.95 USD per pair in any color. Available from all good bicycle outlets or online at www.pacificpowersports.com


Barkbusters handguards are the world leaders in hand and lever protection and have been designing and manufacturing in Australia since 1984. The dedicated team of MOTO and MTB enthusiasts are committed to a vision of ongoing development and innovation of new products and continue to manufacture to the highest possible standards to ensure riders enjoy their passion whilst staying protected.
