AXP Racing Adventure Skid Plate for the KTM 790 and 890 Adventure

Protect your KTM 790/890 Adventure or Adventure R/L with the AXP Racing AX1702 Gen 2 Hard Skid Plate. Made from 8 mm high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this guard delivers rugged impact resistance while staying lighter and more flexible than metal alternatives. The plate shields the engine, lower frame, and fuel pump, and includes an internal foam layer to prevent tank abrasion and preserve paint. Reinforced with 4 mm alloy inserts, the structure is rigid yet designed to flex under heavy hits to avoid permanent deformation. A redesigned mudguard sits in front of the plate — keeping it clear from the front fender and protecting the plastic from heat damage. A drain-hose hole on the right side further enhances compatibility, and all mounting hardware is included. Note: this version is not compatible with a center stand.

Features: 

• Built from 8 mm HDPE for excellent impact absorption and durability

• 4 mm alloy internal reinforcements strengthen high-stress areas 

• Foam pad between plate and fuel tank to prevent friction and paint chipping 

• Covers fuel pump area, offering extra protection around the lower tank 

• Redesigned mudguard sits in front of the plate, avoiding contact with the front fender and reducing risk of melting 

• Right-side hose clearance via a dedicated hole in the plate 

• Lightweight at 9 lbs ~ 4.1 kg — much lighter than many metal skid plates 

• Quiet operation — HDPE construction helps dampen rock impact noise, with less vibration than aluminum plates

• Complete hardware kit included for installation
