The Best Skid Plate for a KTM 890 Adventure R
When riding an adventure motorcycle like the KTM 890 Adventure R, it’s crucial to choose protection that can handle the bike’s weight, power, and the demanding conditions you’ll encounter. After extensive testing and research, E Line Accessories has found that the best material for protecting heavier adventure bikes is HDPE plastic—particularly their rugged, innovative skid plate designed specifically for KTM 790 and 890 Adventure models.
Why Choose an HDPE Plastic Skid Plate?
E Line Accessories utilizes 8mm thick HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic in their KTM 890 Adventure R skid plates, offering several distinct advantages over aluminum or traditional plastic alternatives:
- Lightweight and Durable: At only 4.1kg – or about 10lbs, the HDPE plastic skid plate provides exceptional protection without adding excessive weight, crucial for maintaining agility on heavy adventure motorcycles.
- Impact and Abrasion Resistance: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic absorbs and disperses impacts more effectively than aluminum, minimizing damage from rocks, logs, and rugged terrain.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Unlike rigid aluminum plates that dent or deform, HDPE flexes slightly upon impact, maintaining structural integrity and protection long-term.
Superior Fit and Enhanced Protection
The E Line skid plate by AXP Racing is precision-engineered specifically for the KTM 790 and 890 Adventure models, including the Adventure R and S variants (2019-2024). Its design offers several improvements:
- Extended Coverage: Enhanced protection for vulnerable areas like the fuel tank and fuel pump, complete with a foam pad to prevent friction and paint damage.
- Improved Mud Guard Design: The mud guard is now strategically placed in front of the plate, preventing melting and interference with the front fender.
- Reinforced Welds: Internal 4mm alloy reinforcements ensure strength and durability, significantly increasing resistance to heavy impacts.
- Convenient Features: A small opening allows routing hoses or cables, enhancing ease of installation and maintenance.
