DescriptionThe whole story▼
When the front tyre tucks on track or gravel catches you out on the road, the first thing to hit the tarmac is often the engine. This GBRacing complete engine cover protector set for the KTM RC8 and RC8R 1190 (2011–2016) guards the clutch cover and alternator cover — two of the most expensive and vulnerable components on the bike — with race-proven composite armour that has become the choice of professional race teams worldwide.
Key Features
- Covers both critical engine covers: clutch and alternator, giving comprehensive crash protection in a single purchase
- Manufactured from a high-impact composite material comprising 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon — exceptional rigidity with minimal added mass
- Bolt-on fitment using the supplied hardware — no adhesives, no guesswork, no workshop drama
- Engineered equally for track days and road use, absorbing and dispersing impact energy before it reaches the engine casings
- Clean, purposeful aesthetic with genuine motorsport heritage — a visual upgrade as well as a functional one
- All mounting hardware included in the box — ready to install straight away
Race-Ready Protection, Road-Legal Reliability
GBRacing developed these protectors in direct collaboration with the racing paddock, where a single get-off can end a race weekend and destroy an engine casing worth hundreds of pounds. The 60% glass-fibre nylon compound is not simply a harder plastic — it is a purpose-engineered composite that deforms progressively under impact, spreading the load rather than transmitting it directly to the cover beneath. The result is a guard that sacrifices itself so the engine does not.
On the road the same logic applies. Low-speed tip-overs, gravel-induced slides and car-park mishaps are all handled without drama. Because the protectors bolt directly onto the existing cover mounting points, installation is straightforward and the fit is precise — there is no risk of a misaligned adhesive pad working loose mid-corner.
