Premium Skid Plate | UHMW | Polaris RZR XP 4 Turbo S
Best UTV Premium Skid Plate Features for Polaris RZR XP 4 Turbo S
Introducing the SSS Off-Road Premium Skid Plate for your Polaris RZR XP 4 Turbo S. Designed with the UTV enthusiast in mind, this aftermarket skid plate is made from genuine UHMW material, providing optimal protection for your investment. Say goodbye to worries about damage during your favorite adventures.
Our skid plates are made from 3/8 inch thick UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene), an extremely strong and durable material that can protect you in the toughest terrains. With recessed bolt holes and a smooth, no-snag finish, you can ride with confidence, knowing that your skid plate won't get caught on rocks or other obstacles.
- 3/8" thick UHMW
- Recessed bolt holes for flushed hardware that allows for a smooth, no-snag finish
- Our lap joints interlock and create a flat surface
- Three piece skid (nose, body, and tail)!
- Optional: Built-in-Rockers
- ~2.5 inches high and protect the front and side of the machine
- Rockers and the body are the same piece
- Snug to machine
ONLY 3 PIECES
Our skid plates come as a three-piece set, covering the nose, body, and tail of your machine. Add our optional built-in rockers for added protection to the front and sides. They're snugly fitted to your machine, ensuring a secure and tight fit.
PREMIUM PROTECTION, NOT AVERAGE
Not all skid plates are created equal. Our Premium Skid Plate is a 1-piece main panel construction, providing more reinforcement to the bottom of your Turbo S. The 1-piece main panel also reduces snag points and minimizes the chances of your skid plate getting torn off while on the trail. Don't settle for average skid plates that compromise your machine's safety.
Want additional protection? Opt for our built-in rockers, guarding the front (wheel well) and side of your machine.
BEST INSTALL
HOLE REUSE. Our skid plates are easy to install, utilizing all available factory holes and provide high quality hardware.
NO TAPPING REQUIRED. We use all the available factory holes. However, the OEM doesn't provide holes around the entire perimeter of the RZR XP 4 Turbo S so there will be some areas that will require drilling.
We developed custom fine thread forming screws. This means you don't have to tap holes and your get optimal thread contact with the frame.
PREMIUM vs STANDARD SKID PLATE
The primary difference is the amount of pieces the skid plate contains. This provides stronger reinforcement to the bottom of the machine, reduces snag points, and reduces the chance of your skid plate being torn off if you lose a bolt hole

UHMW FAQs
What is UHMW?
UHMW-PE stands for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polythene.
High Impact Strength
- Absorbs impacts
- Bounces back to original shape
Extremely Quiet
Significantly dampens impact noise
Self Lubricating/High Abrasion Resistance
- Easily slide over rocks and logs
- Outwears carbon steel 10:1, great for sand
Light-Weight
- Lighter than aluminum
- Very similar weight to HDPE (Factory/OEM material)
Why is our material the better than others?
We only supply genuine American made UHMW-PE.
We believe some products pose as UHMW based but are not made from UHMW. Some material descriptions that we believe you should be aware of are:
- "Proprietary blend of UHMW" (most likely HDPE or HMW)
- HMW (less than 10x the molecular weight of UHMW)
- ARMW (most likely HMW)
Which UHMW material thickness should I choose?
3/8th inch UHMW is the best material thickness for nearly all riders.
- 1/8th inch won't allow for a flat finish, hardware or lap joints
- 1/2 inch adds unnecessary weight, doesn't add meaningful upgrade in protection
Why we don't use colored UHMW?
UHMW colors are very limited and primarily used for utility applications, not cosmetic applications. This means that color shades can have significant variations from sheet-to-sheet and will not be matched to a specific Pantone (color matching system). If you have seen cool colored plastics, they are most likely not UHMW because of the inability to color match.
Strength of UHMW vs other plastics?
UHMW has more than 10x the molecular weight than it's little brother HMW (some might call it ARMW). This is what gives UHMW it's superior impact strength, abrasion resistance, stress/crack resistance, and more! This makes it very important to prioritize material type/authenticity over material thickness.
Why factory skids don't cut it?
- Most Factory/OEM skids provide minimal protection
- Factory skids are made with plastic that easily cracks, punctures, or breaks
- Too Thin or Too Thick
- Too many needless holes add snag points
