Crash protection specialist R&G is strengthening its partnership with Royal Enfield by offering a range of crash protection to the UK Dirt Craft school and the Flat Track Academy in the Netherlands.
With R&G already a sponsor of the manufacturer’s Build.Train.Race series, this latest collaboration sees the school bikes equipped with R&G’s Bar End Sliders, Aero Crash Protectors and Toe Guards.
Having first partnered with Royal Enfield back in 2024, protecting the GT650s used in the Build.Train.Race. series in the USA, R&G is proud to announce it is strengthening its relationship with the manufacturer by providing a range of crash protection for the Dirt Craft flat track schools in the UK and the Flat Track Academy in the Netherlands. Designed to help riders of all skill levels experience what flat track has to offer, the schools are the perfect introduction to the unique sport, while helping riders improve their overall bike skills.
Using the Royal Enfield FT450 model, R&G is protecting those machines with its proven Bar End Sliders, ‘Aero Crash Protectors’ and Toe Guards. The Netherlands school is also using R&G-distributed Eazi-Grip ‘Pro’ Tank Grips for added stability while riding.
Simon Hughes, Managing Director at R&G
“We are really excited to be expanding our partnership with such an iconic and ambitious manufacturer. The Build.Train.Race series has continued to go from strength to strength in the USA, so it’s great that we can bring that support to Europe by protecting the bikes that make up the Royal Enfield flat track schools.”
Gary Birtwistle, Dirt Craft
“Dirt Craft are really pleased to be working with R&G for the 2026 Royal Enfield Slide School. We welcome riders of all abilities, so knowing that our bikes are protected in the event of a drop or fall gives us complete peace of mind and ensures the bikes can continue to be used.”
Maikel Dijkstra, Flat Track Academy
“We’re proud to partner with R&G for the 2026 Royal Enfield Slide School Benelux. In flat track, riders learn by finding grip, exploring the limits and sometimes going a little beyond them. R&G protection helps safeguard our Royal Enfield FT450 training bikes when that happens, keeping them ready for the next rider and the next session.”
