KTM Husqvarna GasGas 450 500 skidplate: Hand built in the USA from billet UHMW, our skidplate is a precision fit built for this bike. UHMW offers superior wear resistance compared to aluminum without cracking or deforming, and it slides effortlessly over rocks and logs. Choose the Standard skidplate for lightweight, proven protection, or step up to the OverBilt for a heavy duty option designed for extreme terrain and hard rock impacts.

Made from billet UHMW, our plates offer superior wear resistance compared to aluminum and even carbon steel. This material won’t crack, puncture, or let you down and, better yet, it is self lubricating, helping you slide over obstacles effortlessly. Do not compare this to HDPE or aluminum. UHMW is lighter, slides better, and holds its shape.

For added protection, our optional one piece linkage guard helps you glide smoothly over rocks and logs. Whether you are a hardcore off road racer or a slow, technical backwoods rider, this feature makes a noticeable difference.

Skidplate Options:

This product is available in two configurations: Standard and OverBilt.
