Pro Enduro Rider Tip: The integrated hose management channels prevent radiator overflow kinks – a common failure point in high-speed desert riding. The matte black finish also reduces heat absorption compared to polished aluminum alternatives.

Backed by Acerbis’ 43-year legacy in motocross componentry, this skid plate delivers championship-level protection at an entry-level price point. The reinforced trailing edge design specifically combats desert riding hazards like loose sand abrasion and cactus spine punctures.
