Engine protection selection guide
Choosing an engine protection depends on the nature of impacts to withstand and the necessary thermal management.
Protection plates, often called skid plates, serve to shield the bottom of the engine. They protect the crankcase, transmission, and sensitive components against shocks, rocks, and obstacles encountered during riding. Prefer a rigid material like CNC-machined aluminum alloy to ensure a precise fit and secure mounting.
Exhaust covers and thermal protections serve to isolate the hot areas of the engine. They protect plastic or fragile components located near the exhaust from deformation due to heat. Check compatibility with your exhaust system to ensure effective insulation.
During installation, ensure that the mounting holes match exactly with your vehicle's chassis. A poorly fitted protection can vibrate, loosen, or come into contact with moving parts, which could damage the engine or compromise safety.
Selection criteria for a suitable engine protection
| Criterion | Selection advice |
|---|---|
| Material and rigidity | Check that the material (such as aluminum alloy) provides the necessary rigidity to withstand impacts without deforming excessively. |
| Model compatibility | Ensure that the dimensions and mounting holes match exactly with the vehicle model in question for direct mounting. |
| Thermal protection | For exhaust covers, check that the material withstands the high temperatures of the exhaust to protect adjacent components. |
| Dimensions and footprint | Check the dimensions (length, width, height) to ensure that the protection does not reduce ground clearance or come into contact with other parts. |
Frequently asked questions about engine protections
What is an engine protection plate used for?
An engine protection plate is used to protect the bottom of the engine, the crankcase, and the transmission against impacts, rocks, and obstacles encountered on the terrain.
What material is recommended for a protection plate?
Aluminum alloy is often recommended for its excellent balance between lightness and rigidity. It offers good shock resistance while limiting the added weight to the vehicle.
How to choose the right protection size?
The size must match exactly with your vehicle model. Check the provided dimensions (length, width, height) and the location of the mounting holes to ensure precise mounting.
What is the difference between a protection plate and an exhaust cover?
The protection plate is a mechanical shield designed to absorb shocks. The exhaust cover is a thermal protection designed to isolate the heat from the exhaust and protect fragile components nearby.
