Acerbis Plastics vs. UFO Plastics

- I bought Acerbis, wasn't very happy with it, so I bought some UFO plastics and was surprised to see a difference in quality, given the 3 dollars difference in price. UFO's are only 3oz more?
Update to this video, the Acerbis seemed stronger around the mounting area which could explain the weight similarities.

isnt flexible plastics good in dirt applications so it doesnt snap when you crash?
TheDragorin They are both flexible enough for dirt. I see the UFO's holding up better in a crash. Just showing the differences for those looking at purchasing plastics and aren't sure which to choose. Also, the UFO's feel more similar to the Honda OEM plastics as far as flex goes vs. the Acerbis.
+TheDragorin Yes you want it to flex, Flexible fenders bend while stiff ones break!
+USA Outdoorsman The way your flexing the fenders does not happen when its on the bike, The sole purpose of a fender to to block the dirt flying off the wheel. The softer fender is not as loud when riding through rocks and hard packed dirt either! UFO is known for making junk products, Acerbis is not!
SlammedBeretta When a fender flexes at 65+ mph it's annoying to feel it vibrate and shake through the front end, also if you compare to oem, UFO's are a closer match to feel, and flexing the fender the way I did, is the same direction the wind flexes my fender when riding. I can't say I've noticed a difference in sound of dirt and rocks lol, post a video up on that one and compare. Maybe look into a decent exhaust if the sound of hard pack dirt is making a lot of noise on your fender lol. Glad you shared your opinion on what you prefer. UFO is quite superior to the Acerbis as shown in my video IMO.
USA Outdoorsman I race hare scrambles and motocross. The exhaust note is behind you when your riding so its not that loud when having your bike pinned in 3rd gear as it is to bustanders.
Dam dude spit it out
flexible plastic is good. its so it doesn't snap when you crash
Both are flexible👍
@@usaoutdoorsman6559 yeh but the other one is still hard so it will break easy
@@assia5138 I disagree. UFO plastics were closer to OEM plastics when I compared them to the OEM plastics. UFO flexes similarly to Honda's, and Honda plastics were extremely robust.
Im buying the ufo plastics for my yz85, but I don’t know if I should buy them from the official website or eBay ? Can you maybe give your opinion where to buy ?
Between rtech, acerbis and ufo wich one its better for the crf?
I'm trying to find Plastics for a CRF that aren't as pointed like a typical Plastic on dirtbikes..i want some that are kind of rounded to eventually buy some super moto wheels and rims for a conversion
You would want it more flexible so when you fall off you don't snap it
Blake Vella I agree. I feel the OEM plastics are probably the best, and IMO the UFO's feel closer to OEM in regards to stiffness and flex. I'm not trying to demonstrate the UFO plastics as being hard, and brittle. but I think the Acerbis would crease easily in a fall, where I think the UFO's would recover their shape better after the same fall. Thanks for the comment.
😂😂😂 "uh cherbees"😂😂😂😂
That pronunciation is for italians.. we speak proper english.. not Italian dialect.
quick question, i got ufo plastics for my 98 kx125 . and i have a problem where the ufo plastics aren’t fitting . Why is that ?
I run ALL Acerbis plastics on my YZ125 and YZ250 hold up good, very good fitting, no movement, flex is just enough for it too bend in with impact as I race and haven't had 1 acerbic plastic snap get warped or anything they do get the fade color when bent so many times in crashes but I think acerbic is one of the better companies don't get me wrong UFO is amazing too
UFO>any other company.. IMO. I have experience with both.
you want plastics to have flex like that especially dirt bikes , there constantly hitting shit , and when u wheelie and ur back fender hits it wont break if u got flex in them like the acerbis plastics.
Ray Eh I'd prefer to buy OEM because they are the best quality by far in my opinion. However, I wouldn't spend that kind of money for plastics, hence being happy with the plastics that feel closest to the OEM flex and quality. I'm not debating we need flex, but too much flex from being flimsy and thin leaves you with ugly discoloration where you can see creases, maybe not ugly, I'm sure some riders might like the pink crease marks from where the fender folded over. UFO's haven't cracked or snapped but have scuffs as normal and hold shape pretty well after a fall. Thanks for your comment.
When u bend that plastic, u are gonna make it discolor.
Yes
Is UFO still in business? Just checked out their web site and didn't see ay 2017 KTM model plastics listed.
Robert Corser It seems they are still in business.
I see UFO universal fender kits ( Orange ) and other colors on amazon and bike bandit web sites just today . I just ordered the UFO Yamaha Blue fender kit for my dr 350 . If your still looking check these sites out ....
Flex his good it’s doesn’t crack as easy you feel
They both flex well so that niether will crack, one will just show discoloration a lot easier. Both UFO and Acerbis don't compare to stock.
How's the white color compared to stock honda Ross white (nh196)? Does it have a blueish tint like acerbis!!
To my eyes, I didn't see a bluish tint. The white was more correct than the Acerbis red was compared to the OEM color.
USA Outdoorsman thanks man ill go with UFO white then
I would definitely have to agree with you UFO I think in my opinion would be the better plastic.
yeah i ordered my cr 250 plastics and it came in and looked orange
Acherbees really?!?!?!?! (A-sir-biss)
You should check with Acerbis on that one lol!
Nope.. Sorry but Eric Hartzell is correct on the pronunciation..
Steve Ringer Check again;)
Dont need too my friend.
Steve Ringer I'll clear it up for you, since your genius self can't figure it out.

so painful to listen to you. I appreciate the comparison but man, what a waste of air time. You could have done this in 30 seconds period.
Jay Newman you're right, I could've. Thanks for the comment.
The correct pronunciation of ACERBIS was so incorrect that it was PAINFUL.
UFO is the best, the other one is shit.
