Taking your Moto Guzzi V85 TT off-road is a dream many riders share — and just as many have already made it a reality. Whether through woodland trails, mountain roads or desert terrain, properly protecting the mechanical heart of your V85 is essential. And it all starts with one key component: a skid plate that’s up to the challenge.
The skid plate the V85 TT deserved
Gamma Zinken Sport, the Milan-based brand founded by Luigi and Gianluca — father and son united by a passion for motorcycles — has engineered a skid plate that goes well beyond standard protection. It doesn’t just cover the oil pan: it also shields the exhaust collectors, the side stand sensor, and the brake and gear levers. Full 360° protection for those who take off-road riding seriously.

Engineered to breathe
A standout engineering detail: the wide ventilation grilles with a total surface area of 105 cm² — three times larger than the original Moto Guzzi skid plate. This ensures optimal cooling for the oil pan and exhaust system, preventing the skid plate from accumulating excessive heat even after hours of intensive use.
Two supplementary fixing points at the upper frame absorb impacts in the exhaust area, while the lower brackets — sturdier than the originals — guarantee solidity even on the most demanding terrain.
For those who want to push further
For the more adventurous, GZ Sport also offers the Off-Road Skid Plate Extension (€ 141.50 VAT included), a flat plate in 5 mm Paraluman aluminium with structural steel brackets, designed to slide over obstacles on technical single tracks. Also compatible with the original catalytic converter.
