GILLES

GILLES: Driven by function

When experienced racer Gerhard Gilles became frustrated with the quality and availability of existing motorcycle components in the 1990s, he decided that the only solution was to start making his own parts.

His first ever creation was a pair of lightweight adjustable rearsets that he made for his own race bike. These special parts attracted a great deal of attention in the paddock, and the orders soon came flooding in from fellow racers who recognized the innovative design and high quality of the Gilles product.

Inspired by the growing demand for his custom-made premium cycle parts, Gerhard founded GILLES in the year 2000, and in the past two decades this German company has grown from strength to strength. With their race-bred DNA and a total commitment to quality, GILLES and Yamaha share the same core philosophy, and the Genuine Yamaha Accessories range features a wide choice of GILLES parts that are specifically designed to fit your Yamaha.

Having started out manufacturing rearsets, GILLES has expanded its operations into many other areas, including brake and clutch levers, handlebars and risers, protectors, chain adjusters and much more. Each component is manufactured from the very highest quality materials, and is designed to enhance your motorcycle’s functionality, looks and ergonomics.
