RFX Footrests
Footrests for rider or passenger are subject to wear and should be replaced as soon as possible. The footrests should be designed for the intended use.
Footrests
Footrests or foot pegs can be found on all two-wheelers, even on scooters with footplates with passenger footrests on many models.
On scooters and 50cc motorbikes, the footrests are replaced when they are broken or bent after a crash or fall, or replaced by custom models for aesthetic reasons.
On sport and motocross bikes, footpegs are usually replaced for technical reasons: on sport bikes, the controls are moved backwards to adjust the rider's position, and for motocross motorcycles there are titanium footpegs or ultra-wide models to increase grip. There are also special anti-mud footpegs (more perforated) or lowered footpegs (for tall riders).
Note: On motocross bikes, the foorests will get some play over time. Sometimes the bolts or brackets need to be replaced to reduce this.
To prevent wear, you should always lubricate your footpegs.
