For off-road capable adventure touring motorcycles like the BMW F850GS, F800GS (2024+), or F750GS, a robust skid plate is critical.  Like most bikes in its class, the BMW F850GS does not have a full tubular frame under the motor to protect from impact, meaning investing in a well-engineered guard should be your top priority with this off-road oriented ADV bike.

Made of 4mm thick aluminum alloy, this engine guard 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 the best stability and rigidity while also keeping the most ground clearance possible for this big adventure tourer.

The skid plate is mounted using attachment points on a stainless steel base plate. This thick baseplate is engineered to distribute the load of an impact around a larger area of the engine.

NOTE:  For F800GS (2024+), and F750GS, it is required to purchase our mounting bracket 082-5139. 

Two plastic sliders which are installed independently of the skid plate prevent mud and dirt buildup and protect the mounting bolt heads from impact. The plastic sliders are removable and replaceable, look great, and help the big bike slide over rocks and stumps when riding off road.
