The ULTIMATE in new-aged plastic skid plates for your KTM 690, Husqvarna 701, and the GasGas700. Absolutley NO BROKEN WELD SEAMS because there aren't any, this plate is made from a single piece of 3/8" thick (9.5mm) UHMW that is Thermo-Formed for a contoured shape which improves fitment and maintains ground clearance. This is not cold-broke and welded like HDPE plates which eventually crack at the joints. UHMW has 10X the wear resistance of mild steel and is self-lubricating for an extremely low coefficient of friction unlike the competition.

FITMENT:

  • All Years KTM 690 Enduro & SMC
  • All Years Husqvarna 701 Enduro & SMC
  • All Years GasGas 700 Enduro & SMC
  • SMC models REQUIRE extra hardware (rubber bushings for footpeg casting). Select appropriate option ABOVE and they will be included.
  • Fits with OEM Crash Bars as seen in photo above

FEATURES:

  • 3/8" thick (9.5mm)
  • UHMW Material
  • 5 Point Connection System
  • Built in Rear Brake Master Cylinder AND Linkage Protection
  • Maintains Factory Ground Clearance
  • Stickers are included in package uninstalled - *The sticker on the front of the plate is now white/black to match the rest of the stickers. It is NO LONGER red/black in color. 

Vanasche Motorsports has teamed up with Molecule Motosports, an expert in Thermo-Forming UHMW skid plates, to produce a proper plate to best all others.

We wanted to produce a plate that was extremely tough, durable, highly wear & impact resistant, and still offered the sound abatement qualities of plastic plates. Coming from an industrial background we knew that the only real option that would outperform all other plastics in an application such as this was UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene).

Vanasche Motorsports handled the precision machined components while Molecule cut and formed the UHMW plate. A partnership that will serve our customer base the best performance skid plates available.

    Excellent protection

    This UHMW skid plate fits well, is easy to install, and looks like it will provide better protection that the smaller aluminum plate it replaced. I like the integrated protection for the brake booster and linkage. The left side also extends further upward covering the water pump and partially over the oil filter cover. The fact that it is formed from one sheet rather than seem welded gives it a durability advantage over the AXP style. All this at a reasonable price. I would recommend it.
    I only wish Vanasche would develop one for the Tenere next.
