Its high-resistance plastic construction provides substantial protection without unnecessarily adding weight, while strategically positioned openings promote airflow and make cleaning easier.
For riders looking to protect a new-generation KTM 390, the Acerbis X-Power provides a model-specific solution designed to integrate with the motorcycle and complement the matching Acerbis skid plate.

Motocross and enduro motorcycles operate in an extremely hostile environment.
That makes it suitable for riders using their KTM for:
The KTM 390 Adventure R is particularly likely to encounter rocks, gravel, mud and trail debris when used as intended.For riders using their KTM for serious off-road riding, this provides another protective layer between expensive motorcycle components and the terrain.
The Acerbis X-Power provides additional protection around vulnerable motorcycle components, making it a useful upgrade for riders taking the Adventure R away from tarmac.
More Than Basic Engine-Case Protection
The 0027771 X-Power is designed to provide broader coverage than a simple decorative clutch-cover guard.
Acerbis states that its protection extends around critical areas including the:
This wider coverage makes the X-Power particularly useful for motorcycles subjected to aggressive off-road use.
Protection Against Boot Wear
Engine cases can gradually become marked and worn simply through repeated contact with motocross boots.
Every time the rider grips the motorcycle, moves their feet or changes riding position, boots can rub against surrounding engine components.
The X-Power creates a replaceable protective layer between the rider's boot and vulnerable motorcycle surfaces.
This can help reduce cosmetic and physical wear to the original components.
Impact & Abrasion Protection
Off-road riding regularly puts the motorcycle into direct contact with the surrounding terrain.
The X-Power is designed to help protect against both direct impacts and repeated abrasion, whether that comes from rocks, debris or the rider's equipment.
This makes it particularly suited to:
The water-pump area is vulnerable to damage because of its position around the lower side of the engine.
Acerbis specifically extends the X-Power protective structure around this area, providing additional coverage against trail and track hazards.
Rear Shock Linkage Protection
The system also extends protection towards the rear shock linkage, another particularly exposed component when crossing logs, rocks and deep terrain.
This broader approach helps make the X-Power a more comprehensive protection system.
Lightweight Plastic Construction
Material Composition
Plastic 96% Other Materials 4%
Using high-strength plastic helps provide the required protection without unnecessarily adding substantial weight to the motorcycle.
For an off-road machine, keeping additional weight under control is particularly important.
Strategically Positioned Ventilation
The protective structure incorporates ventilation openings rather than completely enclosing the motorcycle components.
These openings help:
Acerbis specifically identifies airflow and easier cleaning among the benefits of the ventilated construction.
Low-Friction Design
The X-Power also uses a low-friction external design intended to allow the motorcycle to move more smoothly across obstacles.
This becomes particularly useful during technical riding where the underside and lower sides of the motorcycle may contact:
Rather than introducing unnecessarily aggressive edges, the protective structure is designed around helping the motorcycle glide across contact points.
Original Mounting Points
Installation uses the motorcycle's original mounting points, helping provide a clean and integrated fit without unnecessarily complicated mounting hardware.
Correct installation remains important, so always follow the Acerbis instructions supplied with the product.
Compatible with Acerbis Skid Plate
Acerbis specifically states that the X-Power is fully compatible with its corresponding under-engine skid plate.
This means riders can combine the two systems to create more comprehensive protection around their KTM.
The X-Power provides side and component coverage while the skid plate protects the lower engine and surrounding areas.
