Touratech Introduces RallyeForm Skid Plate for KTM 790

The engineers at Touratech have created an all-new skid plate for the KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R using a combination of manufacturing methods to achieve maximum protection for this unique motorcycle. Although riders have welcomed the great handling and low center of gravity on the KTM 790 Adventure, some are concerned about the vulnerability of the fuel tanks. While some skid plates accommodate the stock plastic guards, Touratech chose a different approach.

The RallyeForm Skid Plate protects the fuel tanks with 4mm aluminum guards that are pressed into the perfect shape using 500,000 pounds of force. The result is a strong shield that protects the fuel tanks from damage while fitting the exact contours of the tanks.

The tank guards are integrated with the lower portion of the skid plate which is precision crafted from 4mm thick aluminum alloy. This bottom portion is designed to give the maximum protection during hard hits on rocks, stumps, or bottoming out the bike off-road. The folded ridges give the aluminum material better rigidity while also maximizing ground clearance for off-road riding.

“The KTM 790 is one of the most agile twin-cylinder motorcycles in the ADV class and the RallyeForm Skid Plate provides the protection riders want for exploring rugged terrain. Many will also appreciate the way it enhances the adventure styling of this beautiful machine.” -Iain Glynn, Chief Riding Officer, Touratech-USA

There are four color combinations available: silver base & silver tank guards, silver base & black tank guards, black base & silver tank guards, and black base & black tank guards. Unlike other plates on the market, the RallyeForm Skid Plate can be combined with Touratech engine and fairing crash bars for complete protection of your 790 Adventure.

MSRP: $429.00
