KTM 450 / Husqvarna 450-501 / GasGas 450-500 Skid Plate – AXP Racing

Rocks, roots, and rough terrain can destroy your engine cases, water pump, and linkage in a single hit — a purpose-built skid plate keeps you moving.

The AXP Xtrem skid plate wraps tightly around the frame, extending coverage all the way back to the foot pegs to shield the frame, cases, water pump, and linkage. At 8 mm thick HDPE, it absorbs impacts that would crack or dent other materials, making it a dependable choice for aggressive off-road and enduro riding. The integrated linkage guard adds a layer of protection where most plates stop short.

• 8 mm thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction
• Weighs 1.5 kg — 30–40% lighter than an equivalent aluminum skid plate
• More resistant than carbon fiber skid plates
• Absorbs impacts without transferring shock to the frame
• Covers frame, engine cases, water pump, and linkage in one piece
• Wraps fully around the frame, extending protection back to the foot pegs
