Description

Precision-formed from premium billet UHMW, this skid plate is engineered specifically for KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas 250/300 models. Designed for serious off-road use, it delivers exceptional impact protection while maintaining a lightweight profile.

UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene) provides significantly greater wear resistance than aluminum and even carbon steel, without cracking, denting, or permanently deforming. Its naturally self-lubricating surface allows the bike to glide smoothly over rocks, roots, and logs instead of hanging up. Unlike HDPE or aluminum alternatives, true billet UHMW holds its shape, slides better, and resists punctures under heavy abuse.

Choose the Enduro version for lightweight, race-proven protection, or upgrade to the heavy-duty OverBilt configuration for riders who regularly tackle brutal terrain and high-impact rock strikes.

For even greater protection and smoother obstacle clearance, an use the one-piece linkage guard model. This addition helps the bike float over square edges, rock ledges, and fallen timber — a noticeable advantage in technical terrain.
