Description
AltRider's innovative approach to skid plate design prioritizes both protection and performance, utilizing a flat plate of 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) anodized aluminum to maintain superior ground clearance while minimizing the risk of snagging on obstacles. By employing a patent-pending mounting system, AltRider saves over 1 inch (25.4 mm) of ground clearance compared to our previous corrugated design, ensuring uncompromised maneuverability on any terrain..The narrow bottom profile of the skid plate preserves the Yamaha Tenere 700's exceptional cornering ability, while its one-piece construction offers comprehensive protection, shielding the entire underside of the engine from front to rear. Notably, even the catalytic converter receives safeguarding, without any gaps or fragile plastic components to worry about. AltRider's commitment to durability and simplicity is evident, with the skid plate's single 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) plate requiring no continual repurchase of parts and remaining intact under the toughest conditions..AltRider's dedication to user convenience is reflected in the skid plate's design, ensuring that oil changes can be performed without the need for plate removal. Unlike other designs on the market, AltRider's skid plate doesn't rely on the engine as a mounting point, instead, harnessing the strength of 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) stainless steel brackets directly connected to the frame. These brackets, secured with sturdy M12 torx bolts, provide unparalleled resilience against impacts, preventing the plate from pivoting during collisions..Another key innovation of the AltRider design are the rear mounting points. The AltRider skid plate is held in place with two custom machined fasteners that replace the OEM center stand pins which are actually composite and hollow not steel or aluminum. By mounting to the outside edges of the skid plate we create the maximum triangulation yielding a very stable skid plate to resist twisting into the bike when hitting rocks on the outside edges..With AltRider's skid plate, riders can confidently tackle challenging terrain knowing their R 1250 GS/A is shielded by a meticulously crafted protective barrier. Whether navigating rocky trails or cruising over rugged terrain, the skid plate's robust construction and innovative mounting system deliver unmatched durability and peace of mind. AltRider's commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of the skid plate's design, offering riders a reliable solution that enhances both performance and protection on their adventures.
