KTM 300 XC-W Ricochet Aluminum Skid Plate

If you're running a KTM 300 XC-W between 2009 and 2026, this skid plate is built to take the hits your undercarriage will face. Rocks, logs, stumps—whatever you hit out there, this plate stands between your bike's belly and the ground. It's made from real aircraft-grade aluminum, thick enough to handle abuse, and it bolts on without any drilling or modifications to your frame.

What You're Getting

The plate itself is 5052 H32 aluminum, .160 inch thick, cut to fit your specific model year perfectly. It comes with custom brackets and all the hardware you need—no guessing, no extra trips to the hardware store. Installation is straightforward; the mounting system is designed so you can get it done in your garage without special tools or welding.

The Finish

Out of the box, your skid plate comes with a clear anodize coating that protects the aluminum from corrosion. If you want something darker, you can add a black powder coat finish for extra durability and a different look—just plan on waiting an extra 1-2 weeks for shipping if you go that route. The surface is also ready if you'd rather apply your own powder coat or finish at home.

Made Right Here

This is built in the USA and designed by Ricochet, a company that's been making skid plates for serious off-road riders.
