AND LIVE A CUSTOMIZED RIZOMA EXPERIENCE
Which materials does Rizoma use to produce its accessories?
Rizoma accessories are, in most cases, made of aluminum. When required by the product design or functionality, Rizoma combines aluminum with other high strength, ultra- lightweight materials, such as technopolymers and carbon fiber.
What does it mean that Rizoma accessories are anodized?
Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear. Anodic films can also be used for several cosmetic effects, either with thick, porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add reflected light wave interference effects.
What is the durability of the surface finishing of Rizoma products?
Rizoma protects its accessories from erosion and oxidation by anodizing. Nevertheless, it is impossible to predict a specific and real durability of the surface finish. Wear depends on many variables such as, for instance, exposure to climatic factors (sun and heat, rain, salt, dust, etc.), poor maintenance and care, cleaning with detergents or materials more aggressive than due.

TÜV and ABE certifications
TÜV and/or ABE certification is required in some countries (such as Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Austria) when installing a Rizoma aftermarket component on a vehicle. Once the accessory has been fitted on the vehicle, the owner must visit a TÜV certification center with the relative certification (downloadable from our website) to have the changes made to the vehicle approved and the vehicle registration document updated. Instead, the ABE certification is mainly required in Germany for vehicles or parts of vehicles and is issued by the KBA authority. With the ABE document (downloadable from our website), the vehicle can circulate without visiting the TÜV certification center. An ABE approved aftermarket accessory is considered as identical to an OEM part and does not require any additional inspections or checks by TÜV certification centers in the countries in which it is available. The ABE-approval Id number can be found on the component. An ABE approved component is automatically TÜV approved. Warning: a TÜV/ABE certified product is not, as a result, E approved. You can download the TÜV and ABE information online, in the Media section of the product page.
If a product has TÜV/ABE approval, where can I find the certification id codes?
You can download a copy of the TÜV/ABE documents online, in the Media section of the product page.

If a product also has ABE certification, both the item code and the KBA number are lasered on the accessory itself.
When replacing an OEM part with a Rizoma E/TÜV/ ABE approved one does the bike maintains its homologation for use on public roads?
An accessory approval in a particular country is exclusively limited to that country. The same accessory, in other countries, is considered and compared to a racing vehicle component which can only be used on private tracks. According to the applicable laws, following the installation of this accessory, the motorcycle may not be used on the road, or anywhere that is not a racing track. It may not therefore be fitted on motorcycles intended for road use. Rizoma declines all liability for a different use of its products.
