When Heavy Hitter first started creating parts for e-motos, it was solely for functionality and performance under really tough conditions. Parts that big senders and hard riders needed to allow their bike to survive landings from a sky-high jump. The parts that you couldn’t find anywhere else. At least to the standard that was needed.
It all started when Rusty needed particular parts for his own bike. Something tells me that if the boss of GritShift R&D needed parts for his own bike, they’re going to be the best out there! Fast forward a few years, and now, the Heavy Hitter parts that have become best sellers are able to be color coordinated with the rest of your electric dirt bike.
While the original GritShift mindset remains strong—creating and selling high-performance parts made to withstand the gnarliest of tracks —we now have the option to create a selection of parts in a range of awesome colors. So, why not?!!
Currently, three of our top sellers will be available in a range of colours. The Skid Plate, Stem Riser, and Direct Mount Riser. If you haven’t already upgraded these components on your own e-moto, then have a read of why they’re a necessary upgrade and how they can help you ride better.
If you’ve already upgraded, then you’ll know why these particular parts are super useful. However, wouldn’t they be even better if they were matched to your style? 🤔

The Heavy Hitter Skid Plate: Tough Protection with an Attitude
What is it?
A Skid Plate is a tough metal plate that is attached under your e-moto. While your e-moto comes with a skid plate from the factory, it is usually not of substantial quality. It will survive a few small hits, but the stock skid plate won’t hold up on an enduro trail. And this is the part that protects your motor and expensive components. Let that sink in before you attempt jumping that fallen log!
Functionality:
When you select a skid plate, make sure it is made from a material that is very strong and robust. But the skid plate also needs to be the correct shape. You need to slide over obstacles, not get hung up on them.
The other thing to look for is breathability. While you want to protect your motor from rocks and trees, you want the airflow to be available to keep the temperature down. Lastly, it helps if the skid plate doesn’t weigh as much as the bike itself, it needs to be as light as possible while maintaining the correct protection.
Color Options:
The color options for the Skid Plate side rails are:
- Black
- Silver
- Purple
- Gold
- Red
- Blue
Look awesome and protect the underside of your bike at the same time!

The 2” Direct Mount Stem Riser for 31.8mm Bars
What is it?
The Direct Mount Stem Riser gives you a 2” height increase on your handlebars. We all know mid-sized e-motos like the E Ride Pro 2.0 or 3.0 are on the smaller size, which is great for their flickability and nimbleness, but for those who are on the taller side, the direct mount stem riser comes in handy.
Did you know, the direct mount stem riser does more than just make the ergos perfect? It also helps give extra strength to the front end. You won’t feel any twist through the handlebars with this riser, no matter how hard you’re riding!
Functionality:
Designed by GritShift’s in-house design team, the Direct Mount Stem Riser is made for both great ergos, which means you ride better, and for strength.
It is easy to fit, built strong, but it is also light. This Stem Riser is designed to fit 31.8mm
handlebars and will fit directly to stock forks and most aftermarket forks. Check with our team if you’re not sure if this will fit your bike build first, by clicking here
Note: You may find you’ll need to grab the Heavy Hitter Adjustable Billet Display Mount, also, as the display gets in the way of a direct mount riser. This applies to any brand of stem riser.
Color Options:

- Black
- Silver
- Purple
- Gold
- Red

Functionality:
The MX Direct Mount Riser is easy to fit to stock and most aftermarket forks. It has a wide clamping area to prevent any twist in the bars. If you prefer the feel of a 1 1/8th motocross bar, then upgrade your bar and pick up this riser.
