KTM 450 XC-F riders (2013-2015 models), protect your expensive engine cases with this Acerbis plastic skid plate.

It's a lot quieter than aluminum plates when rocks hit it, and it actually lets the engine run cooler because it doesn't trap heat like metal can.

It's made from tough, impact-resistant plastic that slides over obstacles instead of catching on them.

The fit is really snug to the frame, which helps prevent mud, rocks, and debris from packing in between the plate and the engine.

Installation is straightforward with a simple mounting system that also makes oil changes easier – you don't have to remove the whole plate.

It's also lighter and less expensive than many aluminum or carbon fiber options.

Acerbis is a trusted name in off-road motorcycle protection.

Essential gear for anyone who rides trails, enduro, or hare scrambles where rock strikes are a real risk.
