Swing Arm Skid Plate TEBEDI NE-049 Aluminium Oxidation Honda TRX450R

Description

Product Overview

The TEBEDI NE-049 Swing Arm Skid Plate is a purpose‑built protective component for Honda TRX450R and TRX450ER ATVs produced between 2004 and 2014. Constructed from high‑grade aluminium, the plate undergoes an oxidation treatment that creates a hard, wear‑resistant surface capable of withstanding abrasive impacts from rocks, mud, and trail debris. The plate measures 19.29 x 10.83 x 3.94 inches and weighs 13.23 pounds, providing a solid barrier without adding excessive weight to the rear of the vehicle. Its design follows the exact contours of the swing arm, ensuring full coverage of the chain, rear sprocket, and brake rotor. All mounting holes are pre‑drilled to match the OEM specifications, and the package includes all necessary hardware for a bolt‑on installation. This means you can replace a worn or missing skid plate with a direct fit, preserving the original geometry and maintaining the ATV’s handling characteristics.

Usage

The skid plate excels in environments where the rear of the ATV is exposed to harsh conditions. Whether you are tackling rocky mountain trails, navigating muddy forest paths, or riding through sandy dunes, the plate shields critical components from direct impact. Its aluminium construction dissipates energy from strikes, reducing the likelihood of bent sprockets or cracked brake rotors. Riders who frequently encounter obstacles such as fallen logs, large stones, or steep descents will benefit from the added durability. The plate also helps keep dirt and water away from the chain, extending the life of the drivetrain and reducing maintenance intervals. Because the plate is lightweight, it does not significantly affect the vehicle’s balance, allowing you to maintain confidence and control on technical sections.

FAQ

Will the skid plate fit other ATV models besides the Honda TRX450R?

The NE‑049 is engineered specifically for the geometry of the 2004‑2014 Honda TRX450R and TRX450ER swing arms. While the dimensions may be similar to some other models, we recommend using the plate only on the listed Honda models to ensure proper coverage and mounting alignment.

Do I need any special tools to install the skid plate?

No special tools are required. The package includes all necessary bolts and washers, and the installation can be completed with a standard socket set or a basic wrench. The pre‑drilled holes match the factory mounting points, so you can secure the plate without drilling or modifying the frame.

How does the oxidation coating improve durability?

The oxidation process creates a hard, ceramic‑like layer on the aluminium surface. This layer resists scratches, abrasions, and corrosion caused by exposure to water, mud, and salt. As a result, the skid plate maintains its protective qualities over a longer service life compared to untreated aluminium.

Can the skid plate be painted or customized?

Yes, the aluminium surface can be painted with automotive‑grade paint if you wish to match a specific color scheme. However, we advise using a coating that does not compromise the oxidation layer’s integrity. Applying a clear protective clear coat can also enhance the appearance while preserving the underlying hardness.

What warranty does TEBEDI provide for this product?

TEBEDI offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in material or workmanship. If you encounter any issues within the warranty period, contact our support team with the purchase details, and we will arrange a replacement or repair as appropriate.
