AXP RACING KLE500 SKID
PLATE & REAR RACK
$310 Skid Plate, $312 Rear Rack
www.axp-racing.com
AXP Racing has released a skid plate
and matching rear rack for 2026 Kawasaki
KLE500 / KLE500 SE adventure models.
Made from 8mm HDPE, the skid plate protects
the engine block, exhaust, linkage and engine
cases. HDPE returns to its original shape after
impacts and generates less noise and vibrations
than its aluminum counterparts. The included front
mud guard helps prevent debris from building up,
and it uses separate mounting points for quick
removal for cleaning. Constructed from 20mm
HDPE with a 15mm-thick plate, the rear rack
supports up to 33 pounds of soft luggage and
installs to the OEM mounting points.

HEATED GRIPS
$149

Macna heated grips feature an
integrated Bluetooth chip that pairs
with an app for monitoring battery
levels, setting timers and managing
temperature. A button on the left grip
adjusts the heat level and automatically
syncs to any other Macna gear paired
in the app. The weatherproof grips are
made of vibration-absorbing TPR, and
heat is delivered through a network of
Powervein wiring. The grips fit standard
7/8-inch handlebars and come with
removable end-caps for mounting
handguards or bar weights.
