I recently tested the 2026 edition of these frame sliders on my Duke to see if they offered the robust protection claimed for the engine and frame. After a few weeks of riding, it is clear that this accessory is designed to be more than just a cosmetic add-on for your bike.
The construction feels incredibly sturdy, utilizing materials engineered to withstand high-impact friction without snapping under pressure. They are designed to fit the frame geometry perfectly, ensuring that they absorb energy during a slide rather than transferring it to the mounting points.
Installation was straightforward, as the sliders align directly with the existing chassis points of the Duke and RC models. Once mounted, they remain unobtrusive during daily commutes, barely noticeable until you actually need them to do their job.
This is a must-have upgrade for any Duke 125-390 or RC owner who wants to safeguard their bike against inevitable minor drops or slides.
With an impressive rating of 4.76/5, these sliders are a reliable investment for any enthusiast. At $69.99, they strike an excellent balance between professional-grade protection and everyday affordability.
