he Machina Rear Excel Slider is engineered to protect your motorcycle’s rear axle, swingarm, and brake components from impact damage during a slide or fall. Designed specifically for the BMW R 1250 GS / GSA and R 1200 GS / GSA, it combines precision, durability, and style to keep your adventure machine safe and functional.
Constructed from high-density Delrin® polymer for superior abrasion resistance, the slider effectively absorbs impact energy, reducing damage to vital rear-end components. The core is reinforced with a stainless-steel axle rod, ensuring structural integrity and long-term reliability even under extreme conditions.
The sleek, minimalist design complements the GS’s rugged look while offering maximum protection with minimal weight. Installation is completely bolt-on, with no modifications required — making it a quick, essential upgrade for every adventure rider.

High-density Delrin® polymer. Delrin is a hard, slippery engineering polymer that slides on tarmac instead of digging in, so it takes the scrape instead of your axle or swingarm.
They are designed around the bike's rear axle, so they fit with basic hand tools. If you'd rather not do it yourself, any mechanic can fit them, and Machina can guide you over WhatsApp.
Yes. Slow tip-overs in traffic, on gravel and in parking lots are common in India. The sliders take the first contact with the ground, protecting the rear axle and final drive area of your GS from costly damage.
Sliders are sacrificial — they wear down so your bike doesn't. After a fall, check them for deep grinding or cracks and replace them if they're badly worn.
