Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda Odyssey ( 2017-) V generation (RL) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda Odyssey (2017-) V generation (RL) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to shield critical components like the engine and gearbox. Available in two robust materials—2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick AluOx® aluminum—these plates act as a formidable barrier against potential damage from road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you invest in a reliable defense against the elements, ensuring your vehicle remains in peak condition.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
Kolchuga® skid plates provide comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring critical components are shielded from impacts. The construction features reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings to maintain optimal airflow and temperature regulation. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
These skid plates effectively guard against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. Their installation not only enhances mechanical protection but also helps reduce corrosion and improves aerodynamics. The mounting process is straightforward, adhering to factory points without any 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.
