R 850/1100/1150 GS + Adventure
Ergonomics & Comfort
Better contact
Pivoting
For better vehicle contact and ergo-
nomic riding without fatigue.
Tourenfahrer 2/2007
"Anyone who is interested in maximal position security for off-road riding
should be able to find exactly what they are looking for in the innovative
'PivotPegz' footrests. These high-quality and very broad rests made from
fine stainless steel are pivoted with a spring joint and therefore follow the
movement of the foot up to an angle of 20 degrees. The benefit of this: the
boot is always positioned on the rests with the largest possible support
312
area, contact with the GS is optimised and wear on the boot is minimised."
"PivotPegz" Footrests
An absolute breakthrough, with improved control and
ergonomic adaptation to foot movements. Thanks to
their swivel joints, these footrests accompany forward
and backward foot movements up to an angle of 20
degrees. It's much easier to change gear and brake as
the foot no longer has to "rock" over the edge of the
footrest. This has the additional advantages of protect-
ing the boot from wear and improving the grip in every
situation. Not only this, but the stress on the rider is kept
to a minimum, as the sole of the boot almost always
rests squarely on the footrests - unlike normal footrests,
where the foot is often angled over the edge. This is very
tiring in off-road situations and can also be expensive
because the boots rub against the edges of conven-
tional footrests and can quickly wear out.
The facts:
• Better control: The forces of the motorcycle are also transferred
at the same point across the full surface of the soles of the
boots.
• Less fatigue: The continuous impacts are dissipated better
through the edges of the foot rests. The soles of the boots no
longer tip over the edges of the foot rests.
• Better hold in the bends: When riding through bends, the pres-
sure is absorbed by the full width of the rests, not just the
edges.
• More feel: The PivotPegz creates a real connection between
rider and machine. As a result, the rider becomes less tired and
his feel for the motorcycle becomes more precise.
No matter whether its off-road, on tours or on the road
- the PivotPegz clearly give better handling and comfort!
Complete set with all mounting parts.

construction)
Part No.: 8160080
MFW Vario Footrest System
Adjustable comfort footrest systems that can be com-
bined with various footrests and a variety of variable
plates. With radius options of 23, 30 or 50 mm, in line
with the range of variable plates, the footrest can be
attached near the mounting point.
Especially positive here is the new, round footrest that
offers 100% contact to the foot support surface in all
positions (the original only offers good contact in a
small number of positions).
Please note: Due to the nature of this conversion type
the footrests are moved further out than standard.
Depending on the chosen configuration/footrest posi-
tion this may cause vastly reduced cornering clear-
ances. Please ride accordingly!
