Acerbis off-road skid plates provide protection for the engine cases and frame rails
Extended coverage of the off-road version provides additional protection to the ignition cover and the water pump area on most applications
Simple mounting system makes installation, cleaning, and maintenance (like oil changes) a snap
Snug fit minimized mud/dirt/rock/debris intrusion under the engine which helps keep running temps as low as possible
Polypropylene chassis is significantly quieter than an aluminum skid plate since it won't vibrate during idle or resonate after a rock ding
Does not affect frame rigidity or flex
Allows engine to run cooler

Acerbis Offroad Skid Plate
By tjoffroad on
This skid plate was simple to bolt on. Fit on good and provides good protection from the rocks and trees I run across every time I ride. Overall, I'd say that this is a great unit!

Can the 150KTM model be modified to protect a Bosch center-drive ebike motor
By Larry
Without having the machine here to examine, it's impossible to say whether or not this, or any skid plate we have on hand - would work for your specific needs. Since Acerbis' skid plates are fabricated using a polypropylene plastic, you could carefully cut away the portions that would come into contact with the motor. The main concern to would be the metal brackets that are included with the plate that hold it against your bike's frame. If the Bosh motor takes up that space, you'll have to fabricate new mounting brackets in order to attach the skid plate to your bike.
Acerbis skid plates are made of polypropylene plastic, not metal. The nice thing about a plastic skid plate when compared to a metal unit is that it won't wear into the frame nearly as quickly as a metal part. Of course, the downside is that plastic skid plates don't afford the same protection as a metal skid plate. It really depends on what you're looking to do with your bike; if you're riding mostly moto in dirt and sand (MX or trails), then the plastic skid plate may be the way to go. If you're doing a lot of desert riding or ripping it up in the mountains, the metal skid plates, while heavier - are a better investment from an engine protection standpoint.
