Description Skid plate for BMW R 1300 GS

LOBOO skid plate for BMW R 1300 GS | 4 mm aluminum, anti-vibration and quick access for maintenance

Complete engine protection for adventure use

The LOBOO skid plate for BMW R 1300 GS is designed to protect the underside of the engine from bumps, gravel, and sudden impacts on the most difficult terrain. Designed for travelers and those who use the R 1300 GS off-road, it offers extended coverage while maintaining a clean design that integrates with the original lines of the motorcycle.

  • Complete engine protection on dirt roads, gravel roads, and ramps
  • Wraparound profile to shield the oil pan and lower area
  • Adventure design that integrates with the aesthetics of the R 1300 GS

High-strength aluminum alloy – 4 mm thick

The skid plate is made of high-strength aluminum alloy with a thickness of 4 mm, combining lightness, rigidity, and corrosion resistance. It is designed for prolonged use in all weather conditions.

  • High-strength aluminum with a thickness of 4 mm
  • Excellent balance between low weight and shock absorption
  • Durable finish, ideal for intensive use and long journeys

Rubber gaskets to reduce vibrations and impacts

The skid plate is equipped with rubber gaskets that reduce both the vibrations transmitted to the frame and the impact energy in case of contact with obstacles. This better protects the motorcycle and increases rider comfort.

  • Anti-vibration rubber pads between the skid plate and mounting points
  • Additional damping in the event of impacts from below
  • Greater riding comfort at high speeds and off-road

Precise molding and forming, "factory" look

Thanks to a precise molding and forming process, the skid plate maintains high structural integrity and follows the lines of the R 1300 GS for an almost "stock" look.

  • Precision molding and forming for a robust structure
  • Accurate fitment and profile that follows the original design
  • Clean look, perfect for new bikes and premium setups

Easy maintenance and practical installation

The skid plate is also designed for real life in the workshop and garage: it allows quick access for oil changes and maintenance, so you don't have to dismantle everything at every service. In addition, installation is straightforward and designed to minimize assembly time.

  • Quick access to oil cap and maintenance points
  • Simple installation with dedicated kit
  • More time riding, less time in the workshop

FAQ

Question Answer
Is it compatible with all BMW R 1300 GS models? Yes, the skid plate is specific to the BMW R 1300 GS. Always check the year and version before purchasing.
Do I have to remove it to change the oil? No, it is designed to provide quick access to maintenance points, including the oil drain.
Does it reduce vibrations? Yes, the rubber buffers reduce vibrations and shock peaks transmitted to the frame.

Why choose it
  • 4 mm aluminum:High-strength alloy, stiffness, and protection without weighing down the lower area.
  • Quick access for maintenance:Routine operations can be performed without removing the entire plate.
  • Wrap-around profile:Shields the oil pan and lower engine area, not just the center.
  • Corrosion resistant:Suitable for prolonged use in all weather conditions.
  • Integrated design:Follows the original lines of the R 1300 GS.
Who is it recommended for

You need it if with your R 1300 GS, you:

  • Ride on gravel roads and dirt tracks, where stones can fly up from below without warning
  • Tackle ramps and bumps where the undercarriage can hit the bottom of the engine
  • Go on long journeys and want to prevent a stone from damaging the oil pan

For extreme enduro, with repeated jumps and landings on rocks, more structured protections are needed: this skid plate is designed for adventure use and light off-road riding.

Documents and manufacturer

Assembly and Notes

  • Check the tightening after the first 100-200 km and periodically with off-road use.
  • After a major impact, check that the plate is not deformed and does not rest on engine parts.
  • The skid plate is not an approved safety device and does not replace cautious driving.
  • Check make, model, year, and accessories already installed before purchase.

How does it work, in detail?

Four millimeters between the cup and the stones

Four millimeters between the cup and the stones

The wraparound profile shields the oil pan and lower engine area from gravel and impacts that can strike from below without warning on unpaved roads and ramps. Made from high-strength 4 mm aluminum alloy: rigidity where it is needed, low weight where it matters.

Quick maintenance access allows routine operations without removing the entire plate, while the design remains integrated with the original lines of the R 1300 GS.

Four millimeters between the engine and the gravel

Four millimeters between the engine and the gravel

A boxer engine’s crankcase is wide and low: on a gravel road, a stone kicked up by the front wheel is enough to hit it. A crack means oil on the ground and an engine that needs to be opened up.

The 4 mm aluminum skid plate absorbs the impact instead of the crankcase. It offers the best ratio of cost to damage prevented.

Oil change without disassembling anything

Oil change without disassembling anything

Many skid plates have to be removed at every service. This one already has access to the drain plug: you can change the oil with the protection installed.

That saves twenty minutes every time you service the vehicle, and eliminates one screw that could fail to go back in its place.

Installation at the designated BMW mounting points

No drilling, no adapter brackets: the protection mounts where the manufacturer has already provided the mounting points.

Removing it returns the motorcycle to its original configuration, which matters if you plan to resell it.

Complementary to the engine guard, not an alternative

Complementary to the engine guard, not an alternative

Crash bars protect against side impacts, while the skid plate protects against impacts from below. They cover two different areas and protect against two different types of impact.

Anyone who regularly rides off-road fits both: neither one does the other’s job.

Check the tightness of the fasteners after off-road driving.

Check the tightness of the fasteners after off-road driving.

After the first 100–200 km, check the tightness, and repeat the check after every demanding off-road ride.

If the skid plate has taken a strong impact, check that it is not pressing against the engine casing; otherwise, it would transmit vibrations instead of absorbing them.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Does it need to be disassembled for an oil change?

No. The skid plate is designed for quick maintenance access: routine work can be carried out without removing the entire plate. It’s a detail you appreciate from the first service, because with many universal skid plates, everything has to be removed each time.

Is 4 mm of aluminum enough for off-roading?

Yes, for adventure riding and light off-road use: 4 mm of high-strength alloy absorb gravel and impacts in the lower engine area while keeping weight down. For extreme enduro with jumps and repeated contact with rocks, more robust protection is required.

Is the product covered by a warranty?

Yes: all LOBOO products sold on Endurrad are covered by the 24-month statutory consumer warranty. In the event of a lack of conformity, we will handle the claim with the manufacturer.

Can I return the product if it isn’t suitable?

Yes, you are entitled to return the item within 14 days of delivery under online purchase regulations. The product must be intact and in its original packaging: contact us and we’ll guide you through the process.
