The Last Skid Plate Your Talaria Will Ever Need

Built from 7075 T6 billet aluminum with a 10mm bash plate rated to withstand over 6,000 lbs of force, the GritShift Heavy Hitter Skid Plate is the most over-engineered motor protection solution available for the Talaria Sting E-Moto. Whether you're shredding trails or dragging through logs, this skid plate is built to keep you moving.

The motor is the most vulnerable component on your e-bike — sitting at the very bottom of the frame, exposed to rocks, roots, and hard impacts. The Heavy Hitter's precision strike angles, extended tail section, and strategic ventilation slats deliver unmatched protection on and off road.

• 7075 T6 billet aluminum side supports — the strongest alloy available
• 10mm aluminum bash plate tested to 6,000+ lbs of force

Installation Notes

We recommend using blue medium threadlocker on all hardware during installation. Mounting bolts are T20 Torx bolts. Recommended torque value: 2.6 Nm / 1.92 ft-lb / 23 in-lb. This is barely hand-tight — with threadlocker correctly applied, it will hold securely and remain removable.
