What Does FIM Quality Product Mean?
The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) is the international governing body for motorcycle sport.
Puig's Track protective engine covers are included in the FIM Eligible Parts for Competition List 2026. Puig states that these products have met the safety criteria required for use within applicable top-level competition.
For riders, this gives the Track Engine Cover range additional credibility as motorcycle protection developed around genuine racing requirements.

Why Engine Protection Matters on a Motorcycle
The engine cases are among the most vulnerable parts of a motorcycle during a fall or slide.
On a track bike, contact between the engine casing and the ground can potentially turn a relatively minor accident into expensive damage or the end of a track session.
Puig Track Engine Covers create an additional protective barrier around these important areas of the motorcycle.
The focus is not simply on appearance. The Track range has been developed around impact resistance, abrasion protection and competition use.
Strong Reinforced Construction
Depending on the motorcycle application, Puig uses reinforced thermoplastic materials for its Track Engine Covers.
For current applications such as the Yamaha MT-09, Puig specifies 4mm polyamide reinforced with glass fibre, creating a strong but lightweight protective component.
The matt finish also allows the protector to integrate neatly with the motorcycle rather than looking like a bulky aftermarket addition.
Puig fits the covers directly around the engine housing using model-specific mounting arrangements.

Designed for What Happens During a Real Slide
One of the most interesting features of Puig's Track Engine Covers is the inclusion of wear indicators.
When a motorcycle falls and slides across the circuit, the outside of the cover can gradually be worn away through abrasion.
Puig incorporates indicators into the protection so that the condition of the cover can be assessed and riders or race officials can determine when replacement is required.
This is especially important in motorsport, where a protector needs to remain effective after an incident rather than simply appearing undamaged.
