Hey nothing is perfect. I look at it this way, it's another option for the Gas Gas bikes and that's a good thing. The P3 stuff is very very good but nothing will totally protect the pipe. The Hyde combo may be the best, especially for kinks but I've had very good luck with an aluminum skid plate and carbon fiber guard here in VERY rocky New England on my KTM. I also like to remove my skid plate for washing and in that regard the Hyde is a total nightmare.

When it's done I'll take some pics comparing the P3 to the E-Line.
