4 mm aluminum skid plate for Voge DS525X | Engine and exhaust header protection

LOBOO declares only one applicable model: Voge DS525X from 2023 onward. For the DS625X and DS900X, compatibility has not been declared by the manufacturer, and we do not assume it: contact us with the model, year, and version, and we will verify it before ordering.

The manual lists 15 items: the skid plate, two support brackets, the connecting rod, 3 4.0-8 stainless steel bushings, 3 shock-absorbing rubber mounts, 3 M8×30 screws, 1 M8×35 screw, 2 M6×25 screws, 2 M6×35 screws, 6 M6 washers, 2 M8 washers, 2 M6 self-locking nuts, 1 M8 self-locking nut, and a tube of threadlocker. The assembly manual is included.

No. The official manual calls for removing some standard screws and attaching brackets and the plate to the existing mounting points on the motorcycle. No drilling, cutting, or modifications are specified, and the installation is reversible.

The supplied hardware has hex sockets, so Allen keys are required, and a torque wrench is needed to meet the specified 10 and 20 N·m. The manual does not indicate the wrench sizes or an assembly time. Threadlocker is already included in the package.

The manual specifies 10 N·m for all M6 screws (M6×25 and M6×35) and 20 N·m for M8 screws (M8×30 and M8×35). The manual also requires a sequence: do not tighten anything until all components are in position, then apply threadlocker to each screw and tighten to torque.

Aluminum alloy, 4 mm thick. LOBOO states that the plate is made from a single sheet, with welds at the joints. The exact alloy designation is not published by the manufacturer, and we do not report it.

The manufacturer states a weight of 1650 g and dimensions of 370.9 × 287.6 × 86.3 mm (length × width × height), with a thickness of 4 mm. LOBOO specifies that the measurements were taken manually and that the actual product prevails.

This is the problem that LOBOO claims to have addressed with the mounting system: the plate does not rest rigidly on the frame, but on three shock-absorbing rubber pads paired with stainless-steel bushings. The manufacturer states that this reduces the transmitted impact force and vibration noise; it does not publish measurements in decibels, and we do not report any.

They protect against two different threats. The skid plate is a plate mounted beneath the engine that stops whatever comes from below: rocks, rock steps, logs. Engine guard bars are tubular structures that wrap around the sides of the engine and absorb side impacts in the event of a fall or slide. They are not alternatives: riders who use their motorcycles off-road often install both.

Yes. In the photos in the official manual, the plate is installed on a DS525X that already has the engine guard bars fitted: the two accessories use separate mounting points and do not interfere with each other. If you already have an engine guard from another brand, contact us before ordering.

Only the surface treatment differs. The plate, brackets, hardware, dimensions, and weight are identical: the code (CHB821BK for black, CHB821SL for silver) and appearance change. LOBOO states that this product uses anodic oxidation and electrostatic painting, without specifying which process is applied to each color.

The manual does not document a dedicated opening for the drain plug or the maintenance procedure with the plate installed. The official views show cutouts and slots on the bottom, but LOBOO does not state that they are aligned with the drain plug and oil filter of the DS525X. If this point is decisive for you, contact us before ordering: we will verify it with the distributor.
