Front & Rear Motorcycle Axle Sliders

When you’re inches above asphalt and cornering through the apex, you’ll be glad there are front and rear motorcycle axle sliders on your bike. The same goes for that day you accidentally lay your bike down because, truth be told, it happens to all of us. The crucial difference is that proactive riders who installed front and rear sliders have protected their bike against an abundance of unsightly (and often expensive) damage.

If you’re on the fence about installing sliders on your bike, we know that you’ve got plenty of questions: What are axle sliders? Do they really work? What’s their purpose and what are they made of? All fair points we intend to answer here! For starters, axle sliders are generally pucks made of Delrin plastic or shatter and abrasion-resistant nylon. They can also help prevent trouble down the line when trying to remove a bolt with a damaged head or threads that have been thrashed in a fall. They’ll look right at home on everything from a supermoto to a grom to a street bike that’s no stranger to racing on track days These aftermarket products are perfect for protection and defend various components from snaps, bends and scraping damage when a motorcycle hits the deck. Nothing ruins the look of your bike like scuffed-up forks, brake calipers or clutch levers. A slider will keep a toppled-over bike on just enough of an angle to prevent widespread damage.

Whether you’re stopped at a red light or you’re red-lining the RPMs down a mountain pass, consider these front and rear add-ons as a form of preventative maintenance that’ll lessen the blow in a spill. Sliders are just one example of protecting your bike from an unexpected tip over; you can find a full assortment of crash bars, skid plates, plastic guards and more here!
