If you’ve recently picked up the new BMW R1300GS or GSA and are looking to boost your bike’s protection without compromising style, Lone Rider has just dropped the perfect solution—their complete Crash Bar System, now available and ready to ship.
I’ve been a long-time supporter (and affiliate) of Lone Rider because they genuinely design gear that’s functional, rugged, and well thought out for serious adventure riders like us. This new system is no exception.

What Makes It Stand Out?
Modular Design
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all setup. You can buy each part individually or go for the full system depending on your needs and current setup:
Skid Plate (standalone or with crash bars)
Lower Crash Bars
Upper Crash Bars (currently for R1300GS only)
Serious Protection
The Lower Crash Bars wrap around every vulnerable angle of the cylinder heads—side, front, rear, and below. The heavy-duty Skid Plate offers broad coverage and includes integrated rubber bumpers to help absorb impacts from below.
Durable Materials
Made from electroplated 304 stainless steel, these crash bars aren’t just tough—they’re also corrosion-resistant, so they’ll hold up no matter where you ride. The Skid Plate is made from powder-coated 5052 aluminium, another smart choice for strength and durability.
Replaceable Impact Pucks
Built-in sliders with internal rubber dampers reduce stress on the frame during tip-overs. They're replaceable too, so you’re not left with scratched bars after every minor drop.
Independent Installation
You can install the Skid Plate or Crash Bars on their own—no need to commit to the full setup right away. It’s designed to work with the OEM Enduro Package and BMW’s own lower crash bars (upper compatibility applies to R1300GS only).
Weight and Materials Overview:
Skid Plate: 5.70kg | Powder-coated aluminium
Lower Bars: 8.00kg | Electroplated stainless steel
Upper Bars: 4.00kg | Electroplated stainless steel
Sliders & Dampers: PA66 plastic and silicone
What’s in the Box?
Each component comes with all necessary installation hardware—brackets, spacers, screws—making DIY fitting a breeze whether you’re at home or on the road.
I’ll be doing a hands-on review soon, but if you’re already in the market for serious protection, don’t wait. This is the type of gear that gives peace of mind when you’re hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest bitumen.
