The reinforcement struts fit like a glove and effectively address the weaknesses of the two open flanks of the standard engine protection bar. They provide significantly more passive safety.

The rear, unsupported ends of standard engine protection bars typically lack any bracing against the frame, as is the case with the BMW R 1300 GS and GSA. This creates a critical vulnerability in the engine protection bar. During a fall or impact, they may flex elastically or, under high stress, deform plastically, as forces and moments are not directly transferred to and supported by the frame. This poses a risk of collateral damage, such as to the cylinders.

The reinforcement struts, made of precision stainless steel tubing with a diameter of 25 millimetres, effectively support, strengthen, and optimise the standard engine protection bar.

Smart connectors link the reinforcement struts and the respective rear, unsupported end of the engine protection bar to the frame. This ensures that forces are further absorbed through the bar and directed to the frame structure at an appropriate point. This measure prevents the engine protection bar from yielding. It also enhances the stiffness of the entire tubing assembly, while its design allows for the elastic dissipation of peak loads. Additionally, the reinforcement struts reduce the risk of injury to the rider's lower legs, ankles, and feet.

The surfaces are glass bead blasted and electropolished, seamlessly integrating the reinforcement into the design of the standard engine protection bar.
