For the thrill seekers out there, track days present the perfect opportunity to put motorcycles through their paces in what is sure to be a memorable day out.

However, it is important to be prepared for what is in store and although many of them may not immediately spring to mind, there are a number of motorcycle accessories that can be used to get the best out of the motorbike and ensure the track time is as enjoyable as possible.

Anyone that has not got their track day adrenaline fill before may not know what to look out for but fear not, here are the best accessories for motorcycle track days.

Downforce Spoilers

When riding a motorbike, wind can often be a nuisance to say the very least and that is why there are products out there to help protect against the effects of the wind. However, that is not all, there are also accessories that take that wind and use it to the motorcycle’s advantage.

Puig motorcycle downforce spoilers have undergone wind tunnel testing, allowing them to find the most effective way to channel the air and generate vertical downforce. This in turn enables the rider to gain greater control at high speeds, preventing wheel lift when accelerating and improving cornering. Ideal for track days!

Lever Guards

Aside from it being a legal requirement to have a motorcycle lever guard on the brake side, they do actually have a lot more to offer. They are designed with safety in mind and when travelling at speed on the track, what can be more important than safety?

On that subject of safety, motorcycle lever guards are aimed at preventing lever damage and/or inadvertently engaging the brake which could otherwise be caused by the impact of making contact with the levers of another motorcycle.

Crash Protection

Motorcycle crash protection has been designed to protect the main components of a motorcycle in the event of an accident, fall or slide and when are these unfortunate scenarios most likely to occur? On the track when the rider is travelling at higher speeds.

Damaging vital components is going to cut the track day short in reality, but thankfully, Puig crash protection is there to prevent that from happening. Notably, their engine covers, engine guards and frame sliders are aimed at acting as the first points of contact with the ground, absorbing the impact so the major components do not have to. Naturally, these products themselves are likely to need replaced afterwards, but the other beauty of them is, they are cheaper and easier to replace than an engine for example.

Racing Footpegs

Now, while many motorcycle accessories are aimed at increasing convenience or protection, others have been designed to enhance motorcycle performance. One in particular that stands out is racing footpegs, an addition that should be near the top of the priorities list for a day on the track.

Puig motorcycle racing footpegs can be rotated to facilitate fine-tuning the lean angle, finding the best possible position for each individual and achieving maximum grip. Not to mention their tapered, compact design and range of colours offer an attractive appearance that is sure to catch the eye in and around the track.

Rear Paddock Stand

While a lot of motorcycle accessories could be described as having characteristics that are going to transform the motorcycle or even improve the track day experience, the humble rear paddock stand is not one of them. However, it most certainly would be a welcomed companion throughout the day and can even come in handy at home after that.

Puig’s rear motorcycle paddock stands offer a durable structure to hold the motorbike in place when parked and really come in handy to elevate it and keep it upright when cleaning or performing repairs. An underrated piece of kit.
