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.

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.

The Rizoma website automatically recognizes where a user is browsing from. Therefore, depending on how the user’s device is set, the displayed price may or may not include VAT. Rizoma applies the following VAT rules. Italy and EU countries: the prices shown include VAT. Rest of the world: the prices shown are net of VAT. N.B.: EU citizens must pay the VAT (value added tax) applied by the order’s destination country. When buying goods with destination Italy or the EU, the price should always be considered as including VAT. On the other hand, if the destination country is outside the EU (e.g. Switzerland), the price should always be considered as net of VAT. So, for non-EU countries, on delivery, the courier will apply the customs duties and the VAT applicable for the country in question.
Where do I find my order number or invoice details to start the return process?
The order number is specified in the order confirmation email that is sent when you purchase a product online. If the email has been deleted, you can contact support@rizoma.com, indicating your first and last name.

You can ask for an invoice by e-mailing support@rizoma.com and providing your Tax Code, order number and personal data.
What should I do if the package does not contain all the product components?
First, it’s always a good idea to check the pack twice. Often, to prevent some components from moving during transport, these are secured at the bottom of the package, placing them under special protective foam elements. Some components may not therefore be immediately visible when the package is first opened. We always recommend removing all the contents of the package, including the foam elements. If you do so but find that some components are still missing, send an email to support@rizoma.com.
