AXP Xtrem Skid Plate with Linkage Protection - 8mm HDPE (Manufacturer Ref: AX1656)
Designed for motocross, this AXP Xtrem skid plate made of 8mm thick HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) provides targeted protection for the lower frame. Lightweight and durable, it covers the lower part of the frame up to the footpegs to protect the engine cases, water pump, and shock linkage without adding weight to the machine — stated weight: 1.5 kg.
Compared to an equivalent aluminum skid plate, the AXP Xtrem is 30–40% lighter, reduces vibrations, and does not suffer from the same deformations. Its enveloping design protects sensitive areas during rocky crossings, jump landings, and regular lateral impacts from the terrain. Ideal for riders looking for reliable protection without compromising maneuverability.
Category: Motocross. Suitable for machines such as KTM 450 XC-F (2026), Husqvarna FX 450 (2026), and Gas Gas EC 500 F (2025) — check mounting compatibility before purchase.
