I have used all the different brands. These are by far the beefiest and have the most coverage.
Fork guards are robust. I’ve broken plenty of fork guards before. These look like they will be very hard to destroy. Challenge accepted.
Absolutely impressed fit and finish and protection can’t be beat. Thank you
Hand down nothing comes close to the products from Crosslinked Components. These full wrap guards need to be put on all bikes from the factory. Everything else is contributing to the world's waste problem.
Skid plate is as the pictures show. Better than stock and that’s why I bought it. Front left bolt didn’t line up well. It took a lot of force to get it to line up and thread in. All other mounting points lined up without an issue. Not sure if it was a bad mold or something was tweaked. Bike was brand new and from dealer not rode.
Great company! I broke one of the current (3d printed) version of these and reached out to let them know. They sent me a free replacement set and told me there is a a new, tougher, injection molded version coming soon (expected May 2026).
With over 40 years of riding and having used all of the big names, this piece is in a class of its own. I also purchased their Swingarm protectors and it’s amazing to me that it took for this company to come up with this ingenious design. Kudos!
I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
Easy to install, rock steady once installed and bulletproof.
I have sent Crosslink pictures of the problem with the guard not fitting on the right hand side. I have a 2026 Beta 300 RR Race, and the guard on the right side does not fit well at all. There is a half inch gap between the guard and the swingarm. The slot for the zip tie is so far back from the area the zip tie has to route around the swingarm, that it causes the zip tie to sit at an extreme angel. I have broken all five of my spare zip ties, some broke just lacing them through the routing location. They are very brittle zip ties, maybe they are old? I have requested a phone call about replacing the right side guard. Maybe I was sent the wrong one? I have submitted photos and have not heard back from Crosslink. My number is [****].
I’ve got these bad boys on all my bikes. Always comforting knowing I can run out of talent and keep the bike happy.
Fit / finish / quality is unbeatable.

This is a great product to protect your swing.Arm wished it was a little cheaper.Well built
These things are heavy duty, zero regrets and have already taken a couple solid hits while breaking in the new bike. Solid investment for long term peace of mind on your stanchions when doing HE!
Hello, I did a little review earlier on my new swingarm guards. Tonight, when looking at the bike, I noticed one of the zip ties on the right hand side had broken. I had only done a street ride since the install. I have had all of my spare zip ties that I ordered from you, now break. I believe the design on the right hand side of my 2026 Beta 300 RR Race, may have changed since you made these guards. I would be happy to send you some photos. There is a gap, almost 1/2" on the front of the guard. The zip ties also go through the guard at a slight angle, due to the rounded inner section of the swingarm, where the zip tie goes through the swingarm, same area that the rear shock goes through. Without a zip tie, when just lining up the guard on the swingarm, it does not press all the way onto the swingarm, leaving that 1/2 inch gap on the front face section. Could you at least send me some more zip ties? I used some foam rubber to fill the void, and now just not tightening the zip tie very much, due to the angles fighting and not permitting a super snug pull on the zip tie. I believe the guard needs to be modified in order to really fit nice. Please feel free to email me if you want some photos.
Perfect fit, easy installation, extreme protection and looks awesome.
