Skid plates

Skid plates are heavy-duty protective panels mounted beneath the engine and frame of a motorcycle to absorb impacts from rocks, curbs, roots, and other obstacles. They are vital for off-road, adventure, and trail riding, where underbody clearance is minimal and impacts are frequent. At Xpert Shop, we offer skid plates that prevent cracks in engine cases, protect oil pans and sump plugs, and provide an essential barrier between your bike and the terrain. Whether you're hitting rocky tracks or rough backroads, Xpert Moto Gear keeps your engine safe.

Xpert Moto Gear offers a wide variety of skid plates built for performance and durability. We stock options in 4–6 mm aircraft-grade aluminum, heavy-duty polymer, and stainless steel. Our lineup includes model-specific plates for KTM EXC, Yamaha WR, Honda CRF, Suzuki DRZ, BMW GS, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and many more. Choose from styles with venting, oil drain cutouts, frame rail coverage, and integrated linkage guards. Whether you race, explore, or commute, we’ve got the right skid plate.

High-quality skid plates from Xpert Shop are designed for optimal airflow and minimal interference. Many feature louvers or vents to allow cooling air to flow around the engine. Rubber isolators or foam strips may also be included to reduce vibration and engine noise. While any added armor may slightly affect weight, our plates are shaped to maintain maximum ground clearance and neutral handling. They’re tested in real riding conditions to ensure they perform without compromise.

Yes. Most Xpert Moto Gear skid plates include all necessary brackets, hardware, and model-specific fitment instructions. Installation typically takes 20–45 minutes using basic tools like a socket wrench and hex keys. Many of our plates bolt directly to existing frame tabs or motor mounts, so there's no need for drilling or frame modification. If needed, our support team is available to help you with fitment guidance.

Our skid plates are constructed from tough materials like CNC-formed aluminum, molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and stainless steel. Aluminum models are often anodized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance, while polymer models offer exceptional impact absorption and quieter operation. Finishes range from raw brushed alloy to matte black or high-gloss clear coats, helping you match your build’s aesthetics.

Riders choose Xpert Moto Gear for skid plates because we offer protection that holds up to punishment.
