Yamaha Raptor Skid Plate Kit A & UTV PRO Aluminum Guard

Description

Product Overview

The A & UTV PRO Frame Skid Plate & Swing Arm Skid Plate Guard Kit is engineered to deliver comprehensive protection for the Yamaha Raptor 700 series, covering model years 2006 through 2025. Crafted from premium high‑strength aluminum, each component offers a lightweight yet exceptionally durable barrier against the harsh elements encountered on rugged trails. A UV‑resistant black powder‑coat finish not only enhances visual appeal but also provides superior resistance to corrosion, fading, and the abrasive forces of sand, mud, and stone.

Every plate in the kit is precision laser‑cut to match the original equipment mounting points, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional drilling or modification. The kit includes a full‑length frame skid plate that shields the underside of the engine, steering stem, and frame rails, as well as a dedicated swing arm guard that protects the swing arm pivot and linkage from impact damage. The modular two‑piece design allows for easy removal and cleaning, making maintenance straightforward after a day of muddy riding.

Dimensions of the frame plate measure approximately 19.5 x 16.3 x 3.75 inches, providing ample coverage while maintaining a low profile that does not interfere with ground clearance. The swing arm guard is contoured to follow the natural shape of the swing arm, preserving the bike’s handling characteristics. Both components weigh a combined 15.02 pounds, a negligible addition that does not compromise performance or agility.

Designed with the off‑road rider in mind, this kit offers a balance of protection, weight savings, and ease of installation. Whether you are tackling rocky canyon trails, forested backcountry routes, or sandy dunes, the A & UTV PRO skid plate kit stands ready to absorb impacts, deflect debris, and keep critical components safe, extending the lifespan of your Yamaha Raptor.

Usage

The skid plate kit excels in environments where the terrain is unforgiving and the risk of under‑carriage damage is high. Riders who frequently navigate rocky paths, root‑laden forest tracks, or loose gravel will benefit from the added protection that prevents dents, scratches, and structural fatigue on the frame and swing arm. The aluminum construction disperses impact energy, reducing the likelihood of cracks or bends that could compromise the bike’s stability.

Beyond extreme off‑road conditions, the kit also serves daily trail riders who encounter occasional obstacles such as fallen branches or stray rocks. The powder‑coat finish repels water and mud, allowing the plates to be rinsed clean with a hose after a muddy ride, ensuring that the bike remains ready for the next adventure without extensive maintenance. The easy‑install nature of the kit means that riders can swap the plates on or off as needed, adapting to seasonal riding preferences or storage considerations.

For competitive riders participating in enduro or hill‑climb events, the added protection can be a decisive factor in maintaining peak performance throughout the race. The kit’s low‑profile design ensures that ground clearance remains optimal, while the reinforced guard safeguards the swing arm during high‑speed jumps and landings. Whether you are a seasoned racer or a weekend explorer, the A & UTV PRO skid plate kit enhances confidence and safety on every trail.
