Racebred Components Universal Titanium Splitter Skid Puck

Racebred Components Universal Titanium Splitter Skid Puck

A front splitter only works because it rides low, and riding low means it's constantly scraping the track under braking, over curbing, and through compressions. That contact chews up the leading edge of the splitter blade, and a splitter is a lot more expensive to replace than a skid puck. These Racebred Components Titanium Splitter Skid Pucks are the sacrificial hard point that takes the hit instead. You mount them around the leading edge or along the sides of your splitter, and they hold the blade up off the surface so the ground wears the puck, not your splitter or your endplates. They're sold individually, and Racebred recommends running at least four per splitter.

Why Titanium

Titanium is the right material for a part whose whole job is to get dragged across pavement. It's extremely hard and wear-resistant, so it lasts far longer than a softer puck, and it's slippery against a track surface, so it slides rather than grabs. These are CNC machined from billet 6Al-4V Grade 5 titanium, which is the strong, aerospace-grade stuff, so they shrug off impact and abrasion while staying light enough that you're not adding meaningful weight out at the nose. One puck will outlive a stack of cheaper ones.

Shaped to Protect Your Aero

Here's where these differ from a plain block of metal bolted under your splitter. The airflow under a splitter is what makes its downforce, so a blunt puck sitting in that airstream disturbs the flow and adds drag, which works against the part it's protecting. Racebred modeled this puck's profile after an efficient NACA airfoil specifically to keep that drag penalty to a minimum, so it protects the splitter without undoing the aero you're chasing. It guards the blade and keeps the critical airflow underneath it clean.

Rounded Leading Edge

The leading edge is rounded for a reason. A lot of skid pucks on the market use a sharp 90-degree nose, and that square edge catches on seams, curbs, and track surfaces, which jolts the car and can tear the puck or the splitter mount. The rounded nose on these glides up and over those surfaces instead of catching on them, so you get smoother contact and far less risk of a hard snag.

A Clean, Stealth Look

Each puck is threaded for M6 fasteners and comes with black anodized aluminum finishing washers and black PVD stainless steel bolts, so the hardware disappears into the underside of the car for a clean, stealth finish rather than a row of shiny bolt heads. A drilling template is included so you can lay out the mounting holes accurately.

What's Included

• 1 titanium skid puck
• 2 black anodized aluminum finishing washers
• 2 black PVD stainless steel M6 x 1 x 25mm bolts
• Drilling template

Install Notes

A few things to get right on install. These are sold individually, so if you want four, order a quantity of four. The included 25mm bolts are sized for a 12mm (1/2") thick splitter blade, so if your splitter is thinner you'll need shorter bolts to suit. Titanium threads are prone to galling, so use a nickel anti-seize such as Permatex or Vibra-Tite on the bolt threads, and install with hand tools only rather than an impact. One cosmetic note: the pucks come in a raw finish and may have minor scratches, which is normal for a part that's about to live against the track anyway.
