Metisse fork slider with lifter mount

Our innovative fork slider can protect your forks in case of a crash, and can also be used as mount for bike lifter with fork style mounts (min. with 25 mm). For easier lifting, and to avoid big scratches from the lifter forks, the slider can rotate on it's bearing-spacer. The supplied fitting kit is made of V4A stainless steel.
The design is similar to our X-PAD frame slider, the same high tensile plastic material is used. Silver head bolts are standard, as option there are anodised aluminium bolts available in black, red, gold and blue.
For a big range of bikes we offer these slider also as swing arm slider with axle mount, and as bobbins for direct mount on swing arms with thread


The new frame slider generation: the patented Metisse X-PAD with 7-time Impact Absorber System

Six stainless steel springs support the visco-elastic impact absorber. In case of a crash the X-PAD compresses perfecty in a progressive way, absorbes the high impact energy and transformes it into a softer impact (see diagram). The patented Metisse X-PAD is the only slider that can offer this attributes. Individual bracket kits allow fitting without fairing modifications.

Most manufacturers produce only simple stiff crash pads which have one big disadvantage: in case of a crash the hard and high impact energy hit's directly (or via adaptor plates) the mounting points on the frame / engine. In worst cases those frame-/ engine lugs can crack, something that everybody is afraid of.

This safety risk is extensively eliminated with the new X-PAD technology. Between his plastic bottom and the 6-times mounted floating head a shock absorber is installed. This allowes the X-PAD a for crash pads never known attribute: in case of a crash the pad compresses in a progressive way, absorbes the high impact energy and transformes it into a softer impact (see diagram). This prevents in nearly all cases the above mentioned frame cracks. The patented Metisse X-PAD is the only crash pad that can offer this attribute, a MUST for everyone who want’s the best.

The Metisse X-PAD – everything else is just a crash pad.
