MOLECULE EXTREME KOVE 800 UHMW SKIDPLATE
Finally, a skid plate worthy of the Kove 800. Our UHMW skid plate is thermoformed from 3/8″ thick Billet UHMW plastic, a material that outperforms aluminum and even carbon steel in real-world trail conditions. No cracks, no punctures, no excuses.
UHMW self-lubricates as you ride, helping you glide over rocks, roots, and obstacles instead of catching on them. It’s lighter than aluminum, slides better, and holds its shape hit after hit. If you’ve been running an aluminum skid plate, you already know the dents, the noise, and the weight. This is the upgrade.
Ride hard? This plate keeps your engine protected and your bike light when the trail gets technical.
Ride dual sport? Rocks pinging off aluminum gets old fast. UHMW absorbs impact quietly, and the weight savings means more room for gear.
Proudly made in Albany, Oregon: 99% USA made from materials sourced right here at home.
Features:
- Thermoformed from 3/8″ thick (6.35mm) Billet UHMW plastic
- Weighs just 8 lbs — lighter than aluminum alternatives
- Attaches to the frame, not the engine, for a clean, secure fit
- Thick stainless steel front and rear mounting brackets
- Built-in linkage guard with linkage damper pad
- Additional rubber bump pad for hard hits
- Strategically placed ventilation holes — enough airflow to keep the engine cool, few enough to reduce mud buildup
- Zinc-plated steel hardware with countersink nuts for a clean finished look
- Made in Albany, Oregon US
Fitment:
- 2024–2026 Kove 800X
- 2024–2026 Kove 800 Rally
- Easy one-person installation
