AltRider Skid Plate for the BMW R 1300 GS / GSA

The stock skid plate on the GS was not built for serious adventure riding.
The R 1300 GS is a sophisticated machine. Its engine deserves more than a flat slab of aluminum underneath it. The AltRider skid plate for the R 1300 GS is the first to use an Energy Absorption System — a design that absorbs impact energy before any of it reaches the engine.

The EAS components sit in three zones across the midspan of the plate. Each piece is molded to match the complex underside geometry of the 1300's engine, creating roughly 35 square inches of contact surface to diffuse energy across. The elastomer density varies by zone — the harder the hit, the more resistance it provides, similar to progressive suspension. Stainless steel plates reinforce the system while keeping the engine decoupled from impact forces.

Market leading design provide best Ground clrearance out there and the hand TIG welded anodized aluminum is the finish a bike like this deserves.

The aluminum plate itself uses 5000 series material for the right balance of strength and weight. The stainless steel rear bracket bonds to the plate and anchors to the strongest point on the frame, preventing any rotation or clocking under load. The geometry is designed to give maximum ground clearance while still protecting the headers and catalytic converter — and the profile transitions smoothly to glide over obstacles rather than catch them.

Install it once. Change your oil without removing it. Ride.
