Kove 450 Rally Skid Plate Comparison: With or Without Removable Mud Guard – Which to Choose?

The Kove 450 Rally is an adventure motorcycle, but its sensitive components require optimal protection, especially on muddy or rugged trails. At AXP Racing, we offer two skid plate versions designed specifically for this bike: a standard model and one with a removable mud guard. Discover their differences, advantages, and which one suits your riding style.

Both skid plates share the same materials and base protections:

✅ 8mm-thick HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic, ultra-resistant to impacts

✅ Complete protection for:

  • Water pump
  • Engine block
  • Exhaust system
  • Cases
  • Swingarm

✅ Ergonomic design: Perfectly integrated with the Kove 450 Rally’s lines without modifications

✅ Secure mounting: Robust fastening system

Focus on the Model with Removable Mud Guard: Time-Saving Convenience

The skid plate with a removable mud guard is a major upgrade over the standard model, winning over many riders:

✅ Ultra-fast access to the lower engine

No need to remove the entire skid plate to access the radiator.

Just two quarter-turns to detach the guard, saving significant time during maintenance.

✅ Enhanced protection under the exhaust

Additional plastic reinforcement added under the exhaust for maximum impact resistance.

✅ Reduced friction with side foam inserts

On both models, intermediate foam pads are integrated on each side of the reservoir to prevent vibrations and rubbing.

✅ Easier cleaning

The removable guard makes it easy to clean the radiator without tools, just a quarter turn, even in the middle of your road trip.
