It is enough to look at a bike today and concentrate on his invoice constructive to realize the importance that plastics have taken over the years. Light weight and easy to work together with strength and the ability to get more and more appealing aesthetic processes have now made this material almost indispensable to the modern motorcycles production. Hulls, tanks, hand guards, fenders, air box, are just some of the components of a motorcycle that over the years have been completely revolutionized by the advent of this material. And in the years down the road the Italian company Acerbis made it so much, thanks to its founder Franco Acerbis that from the beginning of its activities firmly believed in the evolution of this revolutionary material.
