Factors To Consider When Shopping For Polaris Xpedition Skid Plates

Here are some key factors to consider when shopping for skid plates for your Polaris Xpedition:

Material

Skid plates come in various materials, each with its pros and cons. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and UHMW plastic offer excellent impact resistance and are lightweight. Aluminum is another popular option, providing a balance of strength and weight. Steel offers the most significant protection but is also the heaviest. Consider your riding terrain and the level of impact protection you need.

Coverage

Different skid plates offer varying degrees of undercarriage coverage. One-piece skid plates provide the most comprehensive protection, while multi-piece kits offer more flexibility for installation or lighter weight. Identify the areas most vulnerable on your Polaris Xpedition and choose skid plates that adequately safeguard them.

Weight & Ease of Installation

While heavier skid plates offer superior protection, they can also add weight to your UTV, potentially affecting handling and performance. Consider the trade-off between weight and protection based on your riding style. Some skid plates are designed for easy bolt-on installation, allowing you to tackle the installation yourself. Others might require modifications or professional installation. Choose a product that aligns with your mechanical expertise and available tools.

Drainage & Compatibility

Skid plates can trap mud and debris. Look for skid plates with strategically placed drain holes to allow for easy cleaning and prevent moisture buildup that could lead to rust. Double-check that the skid plates you choose are specifically designed for your Polaris Xpedition model year. This ensures a proper fit and optimal protection.

Type of Skid Plate 

You can choose to purchase and install any of the following types of skid plates on your Xpedition:

Full skid plates: Full skid plates safeguard the entire undercarriage of your Polaris Xpedition, including the engine, differential, and frame rails. They undeniably offer the best protection a skid plate can give, but they're pricey.

Partial skid plates: These target specific vulnerable areas, such as the engine and differential, providing a good balance between protection and weight.
