Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Subaru Outback (2021-) VI generation (BT) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Introducing the Kolchuga® skid plate designed specifically for the Subaru Outback (2021-) VI generation (BT) incl. Facelift. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, providing a robust barrier against potential damage. It acts as a mechanical shield for your vehicle's vital components, ensuring peace of mind on rugged terrains and urban roads alike.
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 |
This skid plate effectively covers the engine and gearbox areas, providing comprehensive protection against impacts from road hazards. It features reinforcing ribs to enhance strength and shock-absorbing capabilities, ensuring that energy from impacts is managed without transferring stress to critical components. Additionally, strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal thermal management, preventing overheating during operation.
Kolchuga® protection guards against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, which can lead to costly repairs. Its installation benefits include mechanical protection, reduced corrosion risk, and improved aerodynamics for better vehicle efficiency. The skid plate mounts directly to factory points, requiring no drilling or modifications for installation.
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.
