00:00So, last month I went down on a rocky trail section, nothing serious, but when I picked
00:04the bike up, my headlight was completely shattered.
00:08200 bucks, gone, because of a rock the size of a golf ball.
00:12That's when I went deep down the rabbit hole looking for the best headlight guards you
00:16can actually buy right now, and I found 5 that punch way above their price tag.
00:20Let's get into it.
00:23Kicking things off, we've got this headlight guard grille made for the Yamaha Tenera 700,
00:27and it covers everything from 2019 all the way to 2023.
00:32What I like here is how simple it is.
00:35It's a proper grille, so it takes the hit from flying stones and branches without blocking
00:39your light output at night.
00:42Installation is bolt-on, no drilling, no cutting, and it looks like it came from the factory.
00:47And the price is honestly the wild part, 1546.
00:51That's 4,500 people who bought this thing with a 4.8 rating, and it costs less than a
00:56tank of gas.
00:58If you ride a T7 off-road, this is a no-brainer.
01:02Next up is another Tenera 700 option, but this one takes a different approach.
01:07Instead of a metal grille, it's a clear acrylic protector that sits over the whole headlight
01:12assembly.
01:13The advantage here is full coverage, so mud, water, and dust don't get blasted into your
01:18light housing, and you're not losing any brightness through a grille pattern at night.
01:22It's also got the highest rating on this list at 4.9 stars from over 4,600 buyers.
01:29At 2453, it's a bit more than the grille, but if you ride a lot of night sections or you're
01:34doing long dusty stretches, that clear cover is the way to go.
01:38Now, if you're on the Nuke Moto 450 metric tons, this one's for you.
01:43The 450 metric tons is such a good adventure bike out of the box, but that headlight sits
01:48right out front, totally exposed, and that's the first thing that gets destroyed in a tip
01:52over.
01:53This grille guard is shaped specifically for the 450MT's headlamp, so there's no awkward
01:58gapping or rattling.
02:00$30.06.
02:02Look, I know it's the most expensive one here, but compare that to replacing an OEM headlight
02:07assembly on a brand new bike.
02:09Over 4,400 sold already, and the fitment is dialed.
02:14Easy call.
02:16Number 4 goes out to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 crowd, and this one covers the 452-2,
02:222024 and 2025 models.
02:25The Himalayan is built to get thrown at rough terrain, and honestly it deserves a guard that
02:30matches that.
02:31This grille protector is a clean, tight fit that follows the round headlight shape
02:35perfectly, and it genuinely adds to the look, it gives the bike that rally rate vibe.
02:412860, 4.9 stars, and over 4,200 people have already grabbed one.
02:46If you've got a Himalayan and you actually ride it off-road, get this before your next
02:50trip, not after.
02:52And last but definitely not least, the cheapest one on the list and maybe my favorite.
02:57This is a headlight mass guard for KTM dirt bikes, and the fitment list is huge EXCF, SX,
03:03SXF, XE, XEF, XEW, from 125 all the way up to 530.
03:09It's made from PP plastic, so it flexes on impact instead of cracking, which is exactly
03:15what you want when you're dropping the bike in the woods.
03:18And the price?
03:20$9.87.
03:22Under 10 bucks, 4.9 stars, almost 3,800 sold.
03:27There is genuinely no reason not to have one of these on your bike.
03:32Alright, that's the list.
03:34All 5 links are down in the description, so go grab whichever one fits your bike before
03:38you find out the hard way like I did.
