AXP Racing: protection for enduro, motocross and adventure

The history of AXP Racing begins in 1999 with the development of aluminium radiator guards. Founded by Pierre and Jeanine Dugardin, the brand later expanded into quad protection and the use of high-density polyethylene for motorcycle skid plates. This development led to ranges for motocross, enduro and hard enduro, followed by solutions for trail and adventure motorcycles. Its background is closely linked to designing parts that protect exposed areas during off-road riding.

At Motarea, you will find a selection of AXP Racing protection for different parts of motorcycles, quads and SSVs. The range combines skid plates, radiator braces and protection for drivetrain and suspension components, alongside luggage-carrying accessories. Each family serves a different purpose: protecting the underside of the engine, shielding side components or preparing the vehicle for its intended use.

AXP Racing skid plates and radiator guards

AXP Racing skid plates are a central part of the catalogue. The brand works with high-density polyethylene, known as HDPE, and offers 6 and 8 mm constructions depending on the range. Motocross and enduro options sit alongside Xtrem versions for hard enduro and Adventure versions for trail riding. Some references incorporate linkage protection; coverage of the engine, frame and other components depends on the specific design.

AXP radiator guards include structures and braces adapted to the space available on each motorcycle. Their geometry, mounting points and spacers form part of the installation intended by the manufacturer. Within this family, it is worth distinguishing a radiator brace from a front grille and checking which components each reference includes.

Chain guides, linkage protection and motorcycle accessories

AXP Racing chain guides guide the chain along its path at the rear. They are complemented by linkage guards and swingarm protection intended for specific components and installations. These parts have distinct functions: a chain guide does not replace a linkage guard, and a separate plate does not necessarily correspond to a skid plate extension.

To prepare a trail or adventure motorcycle, the selection also includes AXP rear luggage racks and side supports. The platform shape, openings and mounting points affect installation and luggage placement. Check the instructions, permitted load and mounting components for your chosen reference before combining it with other accessories.

Quad and SSV protection, replacement parts and installation

The AXP Racing catalogue also covers four-wheeled vehicles with bumpers, A-arm guards and rear guards. This last group includes solutions for rear suspension arms or the sprocket and disc area on certain applications. Construction and coverage differ between quads and SSVs; the vehicle type and protected component must match the information provided for each part.

The selection is rounded out by brake system protection, roofs, adaptation kits and signalling accessories for the team. These parts broaden the preparation options without serving the same purpose or having the same installation requirements as a skid plate. The contents of each item help distinguish a complete guard from an accessory or adaptation component.

Before choosing AXP protection, check the vehicle, year and applicable version, the mounting position and any accessories already installed. Also check the mounting points, included fasteners and possible interference with the exhaust, crash bars or other parts. The specific reference and its instructions are the basis for confirming installation; belonging to the same family does not guarantee that two products have the same application.
