The \u003cstrong\u003eradiator\u003c\/strong\u003e faces forward behind the front wheel, catching every stone, stick, and piece of gravel the tire kicks up at speed. The \u003cstrong\u003eengine cases\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eoil pan\u003c\/strong\u003e sit underneath the frame with minimal factory coverage, one hard rock strike away from a cracked case and a ride-ending oil leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eradiator guard and engine skid plate kit\u003c\/strong\u003e for the \u003cstrong\u003eCFMOTO 800MT\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eIBEX 800\u003c\/strong\u003e adds purpose-built \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum protection\u003c\/strong\u003e to both areas, keeping the cooling system and lower engine safe from trail debris, rock impacts, and road hazards without adding unnecessary weight or restricting airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHoneycomb Radiator Guard for CFMOTO 800MT and IBEX 800\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eradiator guard\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a \u003cstrong\u003ehoneycomb mesh pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e machined from \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e that balances two competing requirements. The openings need to be large enough to let air pass through at volume so the \u003cstrong\u003ecooling system\u003c\/strong\u003e performs the way CFMOTO engineered it, but small enough to stop the debris that actually punctures \u003cstrong\u003eradiator fins\u003c\/strong\u003e and causes \u003cstrong\u003ecoolant leaks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fins that make up the front face of the \u003cstrong\u003e800MT radiator\u003c\/strong\u003e are thin aluminum, designed to maximize heat transfer, not to absorb impacts. One decent stone strike at highway speed can puncture a fin channel. That damage might not cause an immediate leak, but it weakens the core. Thermal cycling over the following weeks opens that weak point into a pinhole, coolant level drops gradually, engine temperature climbs, and by the time the dash warning triggers, the \u003cstrong\u003eradiator\u003c\/strong\u003e may need a full replacement rather than a patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehoneycomb mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e on this guard is sized to block the debris that causes that kind of damage while maintaining enough open area that \u003cstrong\u003eairflow to the radiator\u003c\/strong\u003e stays within the operating range the \u003cstrong\u003eCFMOTO 800MT cooling system\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed around. You're not bolting on a restriction that forces the engine to run hotter on long climbs or in slow traffic. You're adding a barrier that lets the cooling system breathe while keeping rocks out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond stone protection, the guard also prevents larger debris like sticks, leaves, and road debris from lodging between the \u003cstrong\u003eradiator\u003c\/strong\u003e and the frame, where it can block airflow across a section of the core and create localized hot spots that accelerate wear on the coolant hoses and thermostat housing behind the core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeavy-Duty Engine Skid Plate for CFMOTO 800MT and IBEX 800\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eengine skid plate\u003c\/strong\u003e wraps the underside of the motor with a solid \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e that absorbs impacts from rocks, roots, ruts, and trail obstacles that would otherwise hit the \u003cstrong\u003eengine cases\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoil pan\u003c\/strong\u003e, and lower frame rails directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCFMOTO 800MT\u003c\/strong\u003e has enough ground clearance for light off-road use, but clearance alone doesn't protect components. A rock doesn't need to be taller than the ground clearance to cause damage. Trail debris gets launched upward by the front tire, kicked sideways by ruts, and thrown by other vehicles on gravel roads. The \u003cstrong\u003eskid plate\u003c\/strong\u003e catches all of that before it reaches the bottom of the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cracked \u003cstrong\u003eengine case\u003c\/strong\u003e or punctured \u003cstrong\u003eoil pan\u003c\/strong\u003e on the trail is one of the worst mechanical failures you can deal with on an adventure ride. Oil drains out fast, the engine seizes if you keep riding, and the repair bill runs into the thousands before you factor in the tow. The \u003cstrong\u003eskid plate\u003c\/strong\u003e eliminates that risk for a fraction of what a single case repair would cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is designed with enough depth to protect the lower engine without noticeably reducing \u003cstrong\u003eground clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e. Mounting points are positioned to distribute impact loads across the frame rather than concentrating force on a single bolt, which means the plate can take repeated hits without cracking at the fastener holes or deforming the mounting tabs on the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCNC Aluminum Construction and Black Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the \u003cstrong\u003eradiator guard\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eengine skid plate\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003cstrong\u003eCNC-machined from aluminum alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e. CNC machining produces consistent wall thickness, clean edges, and precise mounting hole placement that matches the \u003cstrong\u003eOEM bracket positions\u003c\/strong\u003e on the \u003cstrong\u003eCFMOTO 800MT frame\u003c\/strong\u003e without needing to shim, elongate holes, or force the fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps weight down compared to steel alternatives. A steel skid plate thick enough to protect the engine adds significant mass to the bottom of the bike, affecting center of gravity and low-speed handling. Aluminum provides the same impact resistance at a fraction of the weight, which matters on a bike you're riding off-road where every kilogram of unsprung mass affects how the suspension responds to terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pieces are finished in a durable \u003cstrong\u003eblack coating\u003c\/strong\u003e that resists corrosion, scratching, and \u003cstrong\u003eUV degradation\u003c\/strong\u003e. Salt spray from winter roads, mud, pressure washing, chain lube overspray: the coating handles repeated exposure without chipping, peeling, or fading. It also keeps the guards visually consistent with the \u003cstrong\u003e800MT's\u003c\/strong\u003e dark frame and engine covers so they look factory-fitted rather than aftermarket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll included \u003cstrong\u003emounting hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, not zinc-plated. Zinc bolts rust and seize within a few months of exposure to water and road salt. Stainless hardware means you can remove the guards years later for a coolant flush, oil change, or inspection without fighting corroded fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlug \u0026amp; Play Installation on CFMOTO 800MT 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth guards mount to the \u003cstrong\u003eexisting OEM bracket points\u003c\/strong\u003e on the \u003cstrong\u003eCFMOTO 800MT\u003c\/strong\u003e frame and fairing structure. No drilling into the frame, no cutting bodywork, no permanent modification to the motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the \u003cstrong\u003eradiator guard\u003c\/strong\u003e over the front face of the \u003cstrong\u003eradiator\u003c\/strong\u003e, align the mounting tabs with the factory brackets, and secure with the supplied hardware. Do not over-tighten. Position the \u003cstrong\u003eengine skid plate\u003c\/strong\u003e under the motor, align the mounting holes with the frame points, and insert all bolts to the manufacturer's torque specification. Inspect fitment and confirm no contact with moving parts before riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full install takes about 20 to 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Because both guards use factory mounting points, removing them returns the bike to completely stock condition with no evidence they were ever installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYears\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFMOTO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e800MT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021 to 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFMOTO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e800MT N39°\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021 to 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFMOTO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIBEX 800\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021 to 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFMOTO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIBEX 800 S\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021 to 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFMOTO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIBEX 800 T\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021 to 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease double-check your model year and trim before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Set with 800MT Logo\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Set (no logo)\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Guard — Black with 800MT Logo\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Guard — Black (no logo)\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003cstrong\u003eEngine Skid Plate — Black with 800MT Logo\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003cstrong\u003eEngine Skid Plate — Black (no logo)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order ships free, and every guard is backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Silver \/ Radiator \u0026 Engine Guard","offer_id":58745603228029,"sku":null,"price":139.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver \/ Engine Skid Plate","offer_id":58745603260797,"sku":null,"price":59.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver \/ Radiator Guard","offer_id":58745603293565,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Radiator \u0026 Engine Guard","offer_id":58745730957693,"sku":null,"price":139.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Engine Skid Plate","offer_id":58745730990461,"sku":null,"price":59.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Radiator Guard","offer_id":58745731023229,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0783\/2445\/files\/Sans_titre_8.jpg?v=1790248887","url":"https:\/\/leananglemoto.com\/en-ch\/products\/radiator-guard-engine-skid-plate-for-cfmoto-800mt-2021-to-2027","provider":"Lean Angle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
