304 stainless steel, Ø 25 mm tube with a 2 mm wall thickness, silver electroplated or black electrostatic powder-coated finish, compatible with the BMW R1300GS from 2023 onward. This is the official specifications panel, reproduced without additions: anything the manufacturer does not state is listed among the specifications as “not declared.”

At the LOBOO contact points, nylon and silicone buffer modules absorb some of the impact instead of transferring it entirely to the frame. After a slide, replace only the marked pad, and the bar stays in place. Together with the included auxiliary light mounts, the structure that wraps around the cylinder head, and the non-destructive installation, these are the four elements on which the manufacturer bases the design.

The 304 stainless steel tube is TIG-welded, with continuous weld beads at the joints. The mounting point for the auxiliary lights is visible on the bar: LOBOO lists it as an optional accessory, so the bracket and spotlights must be purchased separately. The holes on the bar are already present, measuring 6.5 mm in diameter with a 21 mm center-to-center spacing.

Front view of the BMW R 1300 GS with the complete set installed and two auxiliary lights mounted on the designated mounts. The lower bar closes beneath the engine and in front of the cylinder heads, while the upper bar rises to protect the fairing and fuel tank: these are the two halves that LOBOO states together weigh 8.76 kg.

The parts of the set in the black version: two upper bars, the central bracket, and the two lower guards with the pads already fitted. The powder coating provides a matte finish that blends into the motorcycle’s black color—the right choice if you’re looking for a discreet setup.

The same parts in the silver version, treated with sandblasting and electrolysis: the stainless steel remains visible and complements the gray of the boxer engine cylinders, in the classic style of touring GS models. Beneath the finish, the material is identical in both versions; only the surface treatment differs.

The complete set on a BMW R 1300 GS with side cases and a top case, meaning the situation in which the engine guard is most needed: when the motorcycle is loaded, a stationary maneuver becomes the most delicate moment. If you have non-original frames or accessories around the engine, check for interference before ordering.

Designed for a specific model rather than universal use, non-destructive installation, mounting holes positioned according to the vehicle’s original specifications, and after-sales support. These are the four points that LOBOO states in the product’s official documentation.

Before putting them on sale, LOBOO has its products tested by the X-Team, the brand’s road-testing group. This image comes from that material and was taken on a previous-generation BMW GS: it shows usage, not compatibility, which remains as stated for the R 1300 GS from 2023 onward.

Gravel roads, fords, and rough surfaces: this is where a low-speed fall becomes likely and the cost of a valve cover exceeds that of the protection. This X-Team image also depicts a previous-generation BMW GS and is published as a usage reference.

The bars you’re about to install do more than just protect: they’re already the ready-made mounting points for LOBOO Wanderer inflatable bags. A pair of 6-liter bags, each waterproof to IPX7, with keyed anti-theft locks and a stated capacity of 300 kg per inflated bag.

They inflate when you set off and deflate when you return: carry what you need without installing frames or leaving permanent bulk along the side of the motorcycle. Make use of the Ø 25 mm tube you already have and go fully equipped.
