The original THOR for Tenere 700 is not compatible with the World Raid, so here are my creations for this fantastic bike.
Like all my skid plates, they are handmade in Italy, every single THOR around the world is hand welded by me.
When I develop a new skid plate, functionality is always the first priority, in particular protection and ventilation, in this case research and development has led me to create 2 separate products, one that focuses on better protection, one on better ventilation.
The open THOR was my first model for World Raid, but following a great demand I decided to develop a closed one, more in line with my previous products, to learn more about the differences and qualities of these 2 products, I invite you to take a look at the video on YouTube, which you can find below.
THOR open
Better ventilation.
Cheaper.
THOR closed.
Better protection.
More elegant / beautiful.

Materials
This skid plate is built in the best aluminum for this use.
I have been a tinsmith for 35 years, and I still do, working tens of tons of aluminum every year and I can say that I know this material well, which comes in different types, each suitable for specific purposes. This is the perfect type for this use, which I also use for rally motorbike tanks. Very hard, but which can be bent and welded without presenting drawbacks.
Thicknesses
Our skid plate boasts a base, the one subjected to shocks, of 5mm while the walls are 3mm.
These are shims tested on our previous skid plates, which have proven to be optimal in terms of strength and weight.
Fixings to the frame
The skid plates boasts 6 fixing points distributed in an optimal way to cushion the blows.
Welds
The skid plate is externally Tig welded by hand with painstaking control of the success of this process. Internally it has reinforcements performed with Tig/Mig. The welds are large and visible, we do not remove them as we believe that functionality takes precedence. And, in a Rally or adventure bike, if well executed, visible welding is a touch of quality.
Each welding is done by me, I do not delegate to third parties.
Weight
The open version weighs 3.1 kg, the closed one 3.2 kg.
Ventilation
The shape is designed to convey as much air as possible around the engine. The World Raid is more “closed” than the other T700s, in the sense that the engine is less ventilated, having left the front end open we recovered about 3° of engine temperature.
We know that many would prefer to have the area under the radiator completely closed as in the other Thors, but we have prioritized the ventilation. Later we will create a grid to be applied on the front for those who prefer to have total closure in that area. But it won’t be welded, it will be a separate accessory that can also be mounted on the current Thor World Raid.
“THOR” plate
The skid plate comes with the license plate.
