Moose Offroad PX1683 Xtreme 8mm HDPE Skid Plate with Linkage Guard — 2023-2024 Beta RR / RS

Moose Offroad — 8mm High-Density Polyethylene, Full Linkage Protection, and Silent Impact Absorption

Shield your engine and vulnerable rear suspension linkage with the ultimate in off-road armor: the Moose Offroad PX1683 Xtreme Skid Plate. Specifically engineered for the 2023-2024 Beta RR and RS 4-stroke models, this "Xtreme" version is built for riders who tackle the most demanding technical terrain. While standard plates offer basic protection, the PX1683 utilizes a massive 8mm thick HDPE construction, providing a nearly indestructible barrier against jagged rocks, logs, and frame-casing impacts.

The standout feature of the Xtreme series is the integrated linkage guard. This extended tail wraps under the rear shock linkage, preventing expensive damage and ensuring you can "slide" over obstacles without getting hung up. Unlike traditional aluminum plates that vibrate, rattle, and deform upon impact, this high-density polyethylene plate is 40% lighter, retains its shape, and absorbs sound for a much quieter ride. The slippery nature of HDPE allows the bike to glide over rocks effortlessly, making it the premier choice for Hard Enduro and technical trail riding.

• 8mm Thick HDPE: Heavy-duty High-Density Polyethylene provides superior impact resistance over standard 6mm plates.
• Integrated Linkage Protection: Wraps under the rear suspension to shield the linkage from direct hits and debris.
• Silent Performance: Polyethylene construction eliminates the vibration, rattling, and amplified engine noise common with aluminum plates.
• Lightweight & Sliding: 40% lighter than aluminum and features a low-friction surface that glides over obstacles.
• Complete Kit: Includes all necessary mounting hardware and easy-to-follow installation instructions for a secure fit.

Moto-House MX Pro Tip:

In the world of technical enduro, your skid plate is more than just a shield—it’s a sliding surface. The 8mm HDPE material on the PX1683 is specifically designed to take the brunt of a "case hit" and spring back into shape, unlike aluminum which will stay bent and potentially vibrate against your engine. During installation, ensure the frame rails are clean to provide a flush fit. We recommend checking your mounting bolts after the first few hours of hard riding to ensure everything has seated correctly through the thermal cycles of the engine.
