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.

    LOVE THIS SKID PLATE - on my 2023 690

    But the best part is the service and delivery from Vanasche - these guys are best in class and I simply would not buy anywhere else.

    I also purchased 5-6 other items and am so happy!

    701 Skid Plate

    The order took all of 4 days from the US to Australia, Awesome!!!!! Sat in the garage for half an hour to assemble and adhere the stickers and all done. Fit and finish is Mint, and can take a hit over logs, rocks ect I could not rate the Vanasche plate any higher.
    Thanks Mate. Owen 👍🏻

    Feels super heavy-duty

    If you’re not familiar with UHMW, it’s super tough. So that’s what initially attracted me to this skidplate instead of others: I trust the material. Imagine a 3/8" thick cutting board wrapped around your engine. Install on the 690 was straightforward, but do yourself a favor and leave the bolts holding the mounting pins loose, otherwise you likely won’t won’t be able to fully insert them into the grommets in the frame. Tighten the hardware once you have them fully seated. I like the fact that this skidplate also protects the shock linkage. Time will tell if it’s as tough as it looks, but it sure as hell looks (and feels) tough! It's a beast.

    Amazing skid

    This is my first non metallic skid plate. Very impressed, super thick yet you don’t loose any ground clearance. One of the easiest and straight forward installs I’ve done in a long time. And the biggest thing is it doesn’t vibe or make any noise like some of my Aluminum skids do. Great product thanks guys!

    Super solid, fits perfectly

    Very pleased with this skid plate. It is thick plastic that looks like it will absorb a big hit and since it's slippery, will slide over logs and such on the trails. I like that it covers the sides of the engine case to some extent and that it extends rearward to protect the shock attach point. The OEM plate is attached with 2 bolts. This uses 3 so not really any harder to remove for maintenance.
