The Machina skid plate for the Triumph Tiger 900 family (2020–2023) is a 3mm aluminium protection plate that solves a documented failure in the OEM Rally Pro design — a single-point sump mount that cracks sump covers on trail impacts. Four rigid brackets distribute force across four sump contact points simultaneously, quartering the impact load at any single point.
Both the sump and the exposed oil filter — which sits at the front of the engine beside the exhaust collector, a common strike point — are covered. All 2020–2023 variants share the same frame, engine, and underbody geometry: one plate fits base Tiger 900, GT, GT Pro, Rally, Rally Pro, and 850 Sport within this model-year range.
Bolt-on to existing mounting points with no drilling and no permanent modifications — installs in 15 to 20 minutes using standard spanners and allen keys, with all hardware included. Compatible with OEM lower crash bars and centre stand on GT Pro and Rally Pro variants. Designed and tested on Indian roads by MACHINA.
