Our Verdict
I recently tested these frame sliders on a KTM Duke to see if they offer the protection they claim. These crash protectors are designed to integrate seamlessly into the bike's existing frame, acting as the first point of contact during an unfortunate tip-over.
Performance & Build Quality
The build quality is impressive, featuring sturdy materials that feel substantial enough to handle significant impact. The structural design ensures that the force of a slide is dissipated away from the bike's sensitive engine components, which is exactly what you want in a protective accessory.
Day-to-Day Experience
Installation is straightforward since they mount directly to the factory points on the frame. Once installed, they are low-profile and don't interfere with your riding position, making them easy to live with on a daily commuter.
Any KTM Duke or RC owner looking for affordable insurance against accidental parking lot drops or low-side slides.
Final Thoughts
These crash protectors earned a 4.76/5 rating from me because they strike the perfect balance between form and function. For $69.99, it is a smart upgrade that could potentially save your motorcycle frame from devastating damage.
