BikerShield

BikerShield is a motorcyclist safety barrier system designed to reduce the impact severity for riders when colliding with a roadside guardrail barrier. BikerShield is positioned below the guardrail beam and prevents a dismounted motorcyclist from contacting the supporting posts of the guardrail barrier system.

BikerShield provides safe rider containment and redirection through the combination of spring mounting brackets and lightweight, corrugated panels. The spring brackets attach directly to the guardrail beam mid-span between posts and absorbs the impact energy of the sliding rider.

The position of BikerShield beneath the guardrail beam prevents rider contact with the posts and provides forgiving containment and redirection. The BikerShield mounting bracket position is an important design consideration as vertical alignment with the face of the w-beam or thrie-beam guardrail reduces the potential for rider snagging.
