Wunderlich Ultimate Skid Plate, Black

Our stylishly designed engine guard ULTIMATE is distinguished from the original, silver-colored one by the enlarged side protection area, and we offer it in black.

The functional design and structural integration of our ULTIMATE engine protection protect the engine housing, oil pan and manifold. It nestles so tightly around the unit that not only is the frontal attack surface optimized, but the ground and lean angle clearance also remains almost unchanged. The shape of the protection reduces the risk of unpleasant levering or getting caught in the terrain, whether through branches, rubble or rocks. Openings ensure that water absorbed after river crossings can flow away freely.

The angled baffles deflect stone chips or foreign objects thrown up by the front wheel, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the manifolds and engine. Another advantage of this engine protection is that it deflects spray water that is whirled up like a wave downwards and ensures that the thermal stress on the engine housing, manifolds and seals is significantly reduced, especially when the engine is hot.

The complex component shape and geometry are the result of optimizing the material strength and weight, while at the same time we were able to achieve high structural component rigidity and mechanical stability. The result is a robust, weight- and shape-optimized engine guard that fits so tightly and organically around the unit that the design principle of “form follows function” becomes obvious. The screw connection is recessed, so it offers no attack surface and perfectly underlines the edge design adventure look.

The high-quality engine protection is solidly screwed on using precisely fitting connection points already on the vehicle. Any external forces and moments that occur are distributed across the mounts in order to reduce any load and moment peaks that occur. Vibrations are effectively absorbed. What is typically Wunderlich is that attention has been paid to ensuring unrestricted accessibility during maintenance work: for example, an opening has been specifically provided for the unhindered draining of the engine oil. The aluminum engine guard is corrosion-resistant and coated black. With Wunderlich brand logo.
