7. P3 Carbon Skid Plate, $189.95-219.95
A skid plate. Doesn’t sound like a glamorous gift, eh? Well, if you read our 10 Best Dirtbike Accessories feature, then you know that adding a skid plate on your list of holiday dirtbike gifts priced $100-250 could prevent you from having to spend way more coin when a rock or tree root gives you the gift of a smashed clutch cover or punctured engine cases.
We’ve had really good luck with P3 carbon skid plates, so we wanted to include them here. The plates’ mix of Kevlar, carbon fiber, and biaxial fiberglass is bonded with P3’s specialized resins to create a highly impact-resistant plate with a smooth finish and a seamless construction. P3 molds and fits their plates to a specific make and model of machine so each plate installs easily, mounting with P3’s quick-release bracket for easy removal while cleaning or servicing your dirtbike. Each P3 plate extends from the branch of the downtubes back to the end of the frame in front of the linkage/swingarm, and the plate also extends over each side to protect both your engine side covers.

6. Motool Slacker Digital Sag Scale V2, $149.99
Rear suspension sag is critically important to the setup of any dirtbike, as it allows the suspension to operate in the proper manner for the load of the rider’s weight, optimizing suspension performance and handling. Setting sag has traditionally been a two-man job, but Motool’s Slacker Digital Sag Scale chained all that, and the latest version, the V2, is claimed to even easier to use than the original. Motool’s patented system allows anyone to quickly and easily setup their bike’s suspension, requiring less than 30 seconds to place on the bike and take a precise measurement. The V2 features new hardware and new software, with an Auto Zero function that allows you to place the tool in a learning mode so it can actually learn where the zero point is when a bike is lifted. All you do is hold the backlight button for 3 seconds to place it in Auto Zero mode, then lift the bike to unload the suspension and it automatically marks the zero point so you are ready to take measurements.
The Slacker digital sag scale works on front axles as well as rear axles, which makes it handy for setting up air forks. A remote LCD display can be strapped on the bars allowing a single person to easily take measurements and control functions. All buttons function identically to main unit, including the Auto Zero function. Motool offers a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the Slacker, but we think you will be, and that’s why it makes our list of holiday dirtbike gifts priced $100-250.
