ZX6R Adjustable Rearsets Kawasaki with roller bearings

Motorcycle rearsets are motorcycle add-on components that offer riders greater stability and comfort when riding the motorbike.

Consisting of bolts and mounting plates, motorcycle rearsets allow riders to position their legs more comfortably with a range of adjustment options.

Though originally designed as foot peg-augmentation devices for racers, motorcycle rearsets have since become popular among general biking enthusiasts.

ADVANTAGES OF MOTORCYCLE REARSETS

• Balance: Motorcycle rearsets provide a more balanced seating base on motorcycles. As such, motorcycle rearsets give you a more comfortable set of options when it comes to positioning your feet and legs while riding your bike.

Depending on your height and body measurements, you might adjust your motorcycle foot position in a way that makes balancing easier as you take to the open roads. Ultimately, this gives you a more stable base while riding — one that relies on your lower extremities for balance. This, in turn, allows you to ease up on your hands and arms. Furthermore, this enables the front end to perform as it was originally intended.

• Comfort: In terms of comfort, sport bike motorcycle rearsets allow for an overall greater experience while riding a motorcycle. For one thing, your body undergoes less strain while on the bike, because a rearset provides a more even, reliable base of support. Therefore, rides don’t involve awkward stretches of the legs or overexertion of the arms or hands — not to mention bad back posture — on bikes equipped with motorcycle rearsets.

• Ground clearance: While stability and comfort remain the two most important aspects of motorcycle rearsets, another benefit comes in the form of ground clearance. Simply put, motorcycle rearsets allow for better ride height, which gives the bike more leaning room during each ride.

• Improved grip: With motorcycle rearsets, the grip of the pegs is considerably improved over what typically comes with a standard motorcycle. A lot of this comes down to the better options that are available on the aftermarket, where pegs can be found with an overall enhanced grip, which allows you to get a stronger hold on the bike with your lower body.
• Stylish appearance: Though it’s just a matter of opinion, a lot of motorcyclists would argue that pegs add style to bikes. Some bikers would even go so far as to say that pegs make the difference between mundane, average bikes, and the kind that true riders take on the road.
