I have gone through a few hand guards over the years and have had my favorites, but recently we got to try the Acerbis K-Future Handguards for our KTM 250 SX-F test bike. The Acerbis K-Future Handguards have dual-injection covering, a lightweight, compact yet flexible flap design that can protect your brake/clutch pumps. I like…

Editors Note: Jeannine Labbe and I have emailed back and forth for sometime and she recently reached out to see if I would like a women’s opinion on a few things. As I take pride in being a well rounded testing site, I agreed to let her evaluate a set of Women’s gear for all…
