The Doubleshock Rear Drive Protection Pad is a purpose-built crash protection accessory that shields the swingarm, wheel axle, and final drive housing from abrasion and impact damage during a slide or low-side. It acts as a sacrificial buffer, keeping critical drivetrain components off the road surface when the bike goes down.
Key Features
- Protects the swingarm, wheel axle, and final drive housing during slides and low-sides
- Manufactured from high-strength impact-absorbing synthetic resin with excellent abrasion resistance
- Progressive friction geometry — the outer surface is initially slippery to allow controlled sliding, then increases resistance to minimise slide distance and reduce damage
- Complete mounting kit included — all hardware supplied
- Straightforward installation: remove the original plastic cap, insert the pad, and tighten the central bolt to expand the locking sleeve
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the progressive friction design work? The pad's surface is engineered to be low-friction initially during a slide, then progressively grip more as the slide continues — reducing overall slide distance and limiting damage to the bike and road surface.
Is installation difficult? No. The pad fits where the original plastic cap sits, secured by tightening a central bolt that expands an internal sleeve to lock it firmly in place. No specialist tools are required.
Does it come with all the necessary hardware? Yes. It is supplied as a complete kit with all mounting hardware included.
