Boxer engine is a sensible design in many ways: ideal for cooling, good balance, and makes shaft drive easy.
But it’s not so good when you fling it on its side. Cylinder heads, cam covers, spark plugs, coils – they’re all exposed and easily smashed in a spill.
Enter the German BMW specialist Wunderlich: it makes engine protectors for loads of Beemers, including these chappies for the popular R nineT range.
Hard-anodised aluminium, 3M impact-absorbing polymers, strong looks and easy fitment – all the good stuff for sure.
They fit all the R nineT models from 2021 on, have replaceable outer skid pads, and come with full fitting kit.
