T-Rex Racing No Cut Frame Sliders for Ducati Panigale 899 / S (2013-2015) - Black | Motorcycle Crash Protection | Perfect for Track Days & Street Riding

This purchase is for a frame slider and case cover for the above model. The sliders feature a new design of a complete solid puck without a hollowed-out center. This increases the strength and contact surface to about 30%. The spacer is bolted to the engine mount and the slider puck is screwed onto it. Since this spacer is made of solid billet aluminum, there is no need for re-tightening the engine bolt in the long run. With plastic sliders, you will have to periodically re-tighten the engine bolt because the plastic would gradually give in. The front part of the kit features the under fairing frame slider which sits behind the fairing. It protects the fairing bracket and other critical engine components. The puck material is made of UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), a tough plastic with good strength, wear resistance and dimensional stability. It is more dimensionally stable than Nylon and used in many industrial ball bearing and friction reducing applications. Compared to Delrin, it is softer but tougher. Delrin is harder but more brittle. It is an ideal material for slider since it can absorb more impact force onto itself and therefore reduce the impact on the frame and engine. The slider pucks can be inexpensively replaced in case of a low-side. The bolts are made of grade 6 stainless steel. We use highest grade commercially available 12.9(177,000 psi in tensile strength) wherever possible. Rest assured that you are getting the best material commercially available.
