Skidmarx hugger for Triumph Tiger Explorer XC
Skidmarx, the British bodywork specialists, have developed a rear hugger for the new Tiger Explorer XC from Triumph. Fitted with sump guard, engine bars and hand guards as standard, the only thing missing is a hugger, to shield the bike's KYB monoshock from grime thrown up by the chunky rear tyre.
Developed and manufactured in Britain, the Skidmarx hugger is tailor made for the 17” aluminium rimmed, steel spoked wheel rear wheel fitted to the XC model, as the standard hugger for the original Explorer will not fit this machine. Constructed from lightweight GRP glass fibre in a high quality gloss black finish, the hugger weighs approximately 750 grams, adding minimal weight to the 1215cc triple. For riders who need to keep weight to an absolute minimum, a carbon fibre version is also available and these weigh around two-thirds as much as the GRP version on average.
Both styles come complete with a bike-specific fitting kit and mount on existing points on the swing arm, so no modification or drilling is required. The GRP hugger costs £84.95, the carbon fibre version retails at £144.95; both prices include VAT at the current rate of 20%.
