Protect your adventure machine with the Machina Rear Axle Slider, purpose-built for the BMW R1300GS and R1300GSA. Designed to safeguard your swingarm and rear axle during drops or slides, this precision-engineered component blends protection, performance, and style in one rugged package.

They are designed around the BMW R 1300 GS / R 1300 GSA'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 swingarm of your BMW R 1300 GS / R 1300 GSA from costly damage.
