Question Crash cage for RC

[Tirefriar]

Looking for information on crash cages for the RC. Duke has a ton of selections but I could only find a few for the RC application:

Saw a youtube video from Rok Bagoros on installation of their proprietary crash cages but looks like they are not offering the cages anymore. Sliders will not cut it as their level/area of protection is much lower...

Well man I've definitely been looking for hte same. All the good cages I can find are for the 2014-2016 models, do you think they'd even fit me 2018? Also check this guy out man he stunts with Dukes/RC's for KTM's Freestyle team and tours around with our bikes. https://shop.rokbagoros.com/

EDIT: I just read your whole post and realized you mentioned Rok lol... so i'm as lost as you are. Coming up completely empty when trying to find cash cages.

I checked the cages on New Breed Stunt Parts and there does not appear any year model restrictions but they are pricey. I like the products from Crazy Iron, they look decent and have good reviews: https://www.ebay.com/str/crazyironstore

They offer cages for RC 125/200 but not for 390 as well as rear sliders for full RC range but combined with shipping, prices are in the Woodcraft territory. Wonder if there’d be enough interest on this forum to organize a group buy....

I need one too. I would buy multiple just so other guys could get them too. I've commented on every rok bagoros video i can find.. Even the ones they just posted..

I have contacted rok myself. Heres what I got.

I emailed Rok back in August 2019 and was told that they'd have it back in stock January 2020. That never happened so I wouldn't keep your hopes up.
I'm sure if we could gather enough people we could probably do some sort of group order before then.

I still thinks it's totally crazy to put a cage on the RC. The bodywork does a remarkably good job at protecting the bike, and you will have ZERO cornering clearance with any cage. Just sounds like a good way to end up on your head easier. I just don't understand the desire to do stunting on the RC. There are MUCH better candidates for such shenanigans. (and yeah, I'm jealous as all hell of peoples ability to successfully stunt. I can JUST manage to shift to the next year while ripping up a power wheelie on my Gixxer 1000's, but I can't clutch up the RC to save my life.

I actually never though about how the cage would kill the cornering clearance, maybe I'll just get some frame sliders instead.

If you want the very good T-Rex sliders, I'll be offering a set for sale soon: New, never-installed frame sliders and used but undamaged case guards.

Frame sliders on the RC are dangerous too. They all either mount to the frame, or hang over it with long lever action... plus they are so low, in the event of a crash it invariably flips the bike over onto the seat and windscreen. Really, the side panels to an excellent job of protecting the bike, so axle sliders and case covers are the way I recommend folks go. I can't count the number of times I've gotten a call from somebody asking me if I have any frames available. "So, which frame sliders were you running?" is my answer to that question. {shrug} I suppose if you go down slow or soft enough, the frame sliders might not do more damage than they save, but I would never risk it with my bike, and anything I won't run, I won't sell... so I don't make any, or sell any.

I have T-Rex on my Tuono and i had a low side last year, it saved my knee and the entire right side of my bike. T-Rex racing make an amazIng product
