Its engineered construction includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings to enhance rigidity and allow for optimal airflow, ensuring that your vehicle maintains its performance. Additionally, service access openings facilitate quick maintenance tasks without removing the protection.
This protection effectively absorbs impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, preventing potential damage to the engine and gearbox. By reducing the risk of damage, it helps maintain the vehicle's integrity and performance. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
