At the recent press and dealer launch for the Honda Quest, I noted with interest that the Honda Africa Twin CRF 1100’s were all sporting crash protection in the form of RUMBUX bars with integrated bash plates. For those of you that may not be familiar with RUMBUX, they are a South African company that over the years have designed and built robust crash protection bars for a variety of Adventure and dual sport bikes. I caught up with the brains behind Rumbux, Deon Lak, to find out what is happening, as well as what’s in the pipeline.
Covid was a huge handbrake on the SA and World economies. Deon took advantage of this downtime to re-invent his business as well as to bring his product line up to date. The upshot of this is a line of products that are really second to none in terms of function and build quality. To operate at maximum efficiency and to deliver a cost-effective product, Deon makes the following products to order:
- Full Spec Endurance protection bars: Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L Base (Small tank)-Manual & DCT (Upper & engine crash bars with an integrated skid plate)
- Full Spec Endurance protection bars: Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L Adventure Sports-Manual & DCT (Upper & engine crash bars with an integrated skid plate)
- Full Spec Endurance protection bars: Husqvarna 901 Norden (Upper & engine crash bars with an integrated skid plate) and Endurance rear protection / Pannier bars
- Endurance rear protection / Pannier bars: KTM 790-890 Adventure
- Endurance rear protection / Pannier bars: Hero X Pulse 200
- Endurance rear protection / Pannier bars: Honda CRF300L
Coming soon:
- 2021 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R&S Endurance upper add on bars
- KTM 790-890 Adventure: Full spec endurance protection bars (Upper & engine crash bars with an integrated skid plate)
