EspañolOur story
Always ahead, always innovating.
Since 1999, AXP Racing has been pushing the boundaries of off-road protection. Our journey began with the first aluminum radiator guards, designed for optimal cooling in all conditions.
Our range quickly expanded into the ATV market with rear skid plates made from aluminum and high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Then, we revolutionized the market by introducing plastic into motorcycle skid plates, as aluminum had become obsolete.
Our Hard Enduro skid plate with linkage guard have become a global benchmark, used by renowned riders all around the world. In response to this growth, we have expanded the range to Adventure skid plate for a new customer base who travel the world on motorcycles.
Our team
Continuous growth in the service of our clients.
Founded by Pierre et Jeanine Dugardin, AXP Racing has experienced exponential growth since its early years. It is therefore only natural that in 2025, Pierre begins a gradual transition from his role, handing over the leadership to Aurélien Szulek, who represents a new generation at the head of AXP Racing.
Aurélien is supported by a management team that has been deeply involved in the company for many years, including Xavier Dugardin, Head of Development and Marketing, and Lukas Paluka, Production Director. Both are also shareholders, ensuring the continuity of AXP Racing's values, strategic vision and long-term commitment.
Our expertise
Where the road ends, adventure begins.
Our manufacturing process combines cutting, bending and welding to deliver maximum strength and durability for our skid plates, whatever the conditions. Innovation lies at the heart of our work, and we are constantly exploring new methods to improve our products.
Choosing high density polyethylene means ensuring protection that is lighter than aluminum yet stronger than carbon fiber.
Every member of our team rides regularly, ensuring a deep understanding of the terrain and a true appreciation of our customers' needs.
Manufacturing steps
The first step consists in taking a machine in the workshop to start working on a prototype.
The next step is creating a 3D model of the part using our design software. The goal is to get as close as possible to the final product.
Then, we machine one or more prototypes until the part fits perfectly and effortlessly on the bike.
Once the prototype is approved, it's time to test it ! We send the parts to be tested by our professional riders and, in some cases, directly by our customers.
Sometimes, the part is approved on the first try, but other times, modifications are needed to ensure it meets the standards for mass production.
Once the prototype is approved, production can start. Machining, bending and welding are all essential steps to deliver your finished protection.
