WCOT Ride Plate for Kawasaki SX-R 1500 / 160 (2017+)
This WCOT ride plate is built for riders looking for better hull control, more rear traction, and a more stable feel at speed. It fits 2024-2026 Kawasaki SX-R 160 and 2017-2026 Kawasaki SX-R 1500 models, and it helps address porpoising and rough-water instability while also improving cornering response.
This ride plate is made from 535 AL-MAG aluminum alloy and is designed as a handling and performance upgrade for stand-up Kawasaki platforms. Riders looking for a more planted rear end often use a ride plate to settle the hull, improve hook-up in turns, and keep the ski more composed when water conditions get rough. On this application, WCOT states gains of about 1.5 MPH along with better cornering. That makes it a good fit for recreational riders who want more control and for performance builds that need more predictable handling. Verify fitment and clearance before installation. Does not fit models not listed below.
