Works Connection Aluminum Skid Plate 6061 T6

Description

Product Overview

The Works Connection Glide Plate (model 10-008) is a purpose‑engineered skid plate crafted from aircraft‑grade 6061 T6 aluminum. Each plate is CNC‑machined and formed to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect match for the specific make and model of your motocross bike or ATV. The high‑strength alloy provides an optimal balance of rigidity and weight savings, resisting dents and cracks while keeping the overall mass low enough not to affect handling. Finished with a corrosion‑resistant coating, the plate stands up to mud, water, and the abrasive conditions of off‑road riding. Installation hardware is included, and the design deliberately stops at the frame rails, offering protection without interfering with suspension travel or other accessories.

Usage

Designed for riders who push their machines through rugged terrain, this skid plate excels in environments where rocks, loose soil, and debris are common. Whether you’re tackling a motocross track, navigating forest trails, or riding on desert dunes, the plate shields the underside of the frame from impact damage. It is also suitable for utility ATVs used in work sites where occasional contact with obstacles can occur. The plate’s low‑profile fit makes it an excellent choice for riders who value both protection and the ability to maintain a clean, unobstructed look.
