Evotech Performance Fork Protector for Honda CB1000 Hornet (2025)

The Evotech Performance Fork Protector for the new Honda CB1000 Hornet (2025) is not simply an accessory. It is a critical piece of specialized crash protection. Evotech designed this component to safeguard the lower front fork, brake calipers, and wheel spindle. These are the motorcycle’s most vulnerable and expensive assemblies. Often called “Spindle Bobbins,” the kit exemplifies quality engineering. It offers robust defense without compromising the bike’s sleek aesthetic.

Evotech’s core technical philosophy involves a multi-material system. This system effectively manages and dissipates impact energy. The main protective element is the injection-moulded nylon bobbin. This bobbin protrudes from the front wheel spindle. This high-performance polymer is the first point of contact in a slide or crash. It is intended to absorb the initial shock. A key design feature is the nylon’s ability to rotate upon impact. This mechanism is crucial. It decreases the stress and wear the crash transmits to the chassis and sensitive fork components.

Crucially, the external nylon slider conceals a strong, load-bearing aluminium core. This inner foundation resists crushing. It also maintains the protection system’s integrity under significant force. A durable, discreet black powder-coating finishes all visible aluminium. This allows the protectors to seamlessly integrate with the CB1000 Hornet’s aggressive, modern styling. Evotech Performance also offers exceptional serviceability. If a crash damages the protective nylon slider, riders can purchase individual replacement bobbins separately. This means the rider avoids buying an entirely new kit. Post-crash repair is both cost-effective and simple. The bike is quickly restored to its fully protected state.
