This is a Ricochet skid plate built tough for your KTM 500 EXC or 500 EXC-F. It's made from solid 5052 H32 aircraft-grade aluminum that's .160 inch thick, and it comes with everything you need to bolt it on—no drilling required. The clear anodize finish protects the metal right out of the box. Fits 2012-2026 models.
What's In The Box
- Aluminum skid plate, pre-shaped for your bike
- Heavy-duty mounting brackets
- All hardware needed for installation
The Build
The plate is aircraft-grade aluminum—the same stuff they use on planes—which means it'll take a serious hit from rocks, logs, or stumps without cracking or bending easily. At .160 inches thick, it's got real substance to it. The clear anodize coating is already on there to keep rust away.
Installation
No drilling or tapping into your bike needed. The brackets bolt right to the existing mounting points, so you can get this on in under an hour with basic tools.

Finish Options
It ships with a clear anodize that's ready to go. If you want a black powder coat instead, we can do that for you—just add $45 and plan on waiting an extra 1–2 weeks for shipping. Or we can prep the surface for free if you'd rather handle the coating yourself.
