AltRider Crash Bar and Skid Plate System Black Bars/Silver Plate - R130-3-1003 | BMW R1300GS 2024

The AltRider Crash Bars are the only 1.25 inch (31.75 mm) crash bar system on the market. The larger 1.25 inch bars are over twice as strong as 1 inch bars while only adding 10% more weight.

AltRider's crash bars have four secure mounting points on both sides with 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) thick flanges. The top rear mount is secured large custom machined M14, grade 8.8 bolt that replaces the engine mounting hardware. AltRider offers the only custom machined through-bolt for increased strength. There are no plastic spacers or bumpers to break upon impact. This creates an incredibly strong connection while maintaining a narrow design that distributes any impact evenly throughout the bars.

The sophistication of the BMW R1300 GS pushed the envelope in terms of innovation. AltRider has once again risen to the challenge by developing the industry's first skid plate with an Energy Absorption System (EAS). The unique EAS dynamically absorbs the kinetic energy generated during impact in order to offer unrivaled protection to the engine.

The skid plate is mounted in the four corners with the midspan having three distinct zones of the Energy Absorption System. The primary function of the EAS is to absorb the kinetic energy created during an impact.
