• Designed and manufactured in the USA
• Anodized aluminum protects front and bottom of motor from trail debris
• Front and rear mounts provide superior strength
• Available in silver or black

The AltRider skid plate is laser cut from aluminum with an anodized finish that is not only good-looking but also extremely resistant to weathering. The intelligent design features large radius corners and flared edges to provide absolute coverage for the motor while maintaining exceptional strength. The skid plate also provides coverage for the side stand mount — eliminating the need for a side stand relocation kit. Special consideration was made to preserve the impressive ground clearance.

The front of the skid plate mounts via stainless steel brackets that utilize OEM mounting points. The rear mount is unique to AltRider as we transitioned the mounting system to the 3/16 (4.76 mm) aluminum. This eliminates heavy steel brackets. With our design being the only one to provide anti-clocking engagement points at the rear; what this means in terms of protection is this design will resist rearward energy by interfacing the frame centerstand stops. The centerstand mounts are the strongest locations on the frame originally engineered to take massive loads. Prevent the plate from rotating rearward is critical without ANTI-CLOCKING the rock impacts will push the skid plate back and up into the motorcycle causing damage. AltRider created the only design on the market to prevent this with the anti-clocking mounts.

• Compatible with KTM 790 and 890 models
• Fits both the Adventure and Adventure R
• Compatible Husqvarna Norden 901

Honda makes their return to the adventure market with the rebooted Africa Twin. Like its Dakar-winning predecessors it’s designed to conquer the toughest terrain you can throw at it. A lot can happen when you leave the pavement on a 534-lb (242-kg) motorcycle. The AltRider skid plate was engineered from the ground up to provide better coverage strength and ground clearance than any other skid plate on the market.

Honda’s Africa Twin utilizes a classic dirtbike-inspired dual frame rail. AltRider embraced this approach by designing a skid plate that builds on the advantages provided by this type of frame. Unlike other designs on the market AltRider utilizes four bolt locations on the frame instead of nesting the bracket on one side. This bracket design provides a strong platform to mount the skid plate using four heavy duty M8 (5/16 inch) bolts.

Ground clearance is an extremely important but often overlooked consideration especially on bigger bikes. Honda made the effort to give this bike substantial clearance and thanks to the bike’s frame rail design the AltRider skid plate was engineered to retain as much of that clearance as possible when installed. Some skid plates utilize a corrugated design to enhance strength but those designs also sacrifice clearance. The AltRider skid plate was given a smooth bottom design for max clearance and easy maneuvering over obstacles and the four mounting points on the frame rails make up that strength.

AltRider’s intelligent bracket design allows users to change the oil with the bracket in place. The skid plate is also compatible with the center stand on and can be installed on both DCT and manual transmission models. The one-piece skid plate is simple to install and all top-quality hardware is provided.
