The growing demand for high performance engine technology in the two-wheeler market segment has pushed the average speed of the motorcycle to a higher limit, which has already raised the danger of motorcycle accidents leading to serious knee and lower tibia injuries. Vehicle designers, testers, and validators undergo rigorous design, testing, and validation processes based on the highest criteria for strength, weight reduction, enhanced fuel efficiency, etc., but with the fewest requirements for a vehicle’s safety in an accident. The design of a leg guard for the popular Indian Pulsar 150 motorcycle. By changing the shape and material, a thorough investigation of strength is performed. We select three different materials, such as SS202, SS347, and SS440C. The leg guard for the pulsar was built, and its stress and deformation were assessed. The optimal configuration is selected from a total of six variants using the least weight and stress deformation.
