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™ has been crash tested and evaluated in accordance with the European Technical Specification EN1317-8.

Vehicle impact performance has been evaluated according to the specifications for Test 3-10 of the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). The MASH specification is an update to and supersedes NCHRP Report 350 for the purposes of evaluating new safety hardware devices.

The MASH specification is an update to and supersedes NCHRP Report 350 for the purposes of evaluating new safety hardware devices.

MASH presents uniform guidelines for crash testing permanent and temporary highway safety features and recommends evaluation criteria to assess test results.

MASH considers real-life crash data, changes to the vehicle fleet and in-service performance in developing evaluation criteria.

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 guardrail beam reduces the potential for rider snagging.

A specially designed bullnose is available for attachment to BikerShield™.
