ProClimb/ProCross Bumper/Skid Plate

The Zbroz Racing Ars Fx ProClimb/ProCross bumper and skid plate is made from 3/16-inch aluminum, making it lightweight while offering the ultimate protection and tightest approach angle. That allows you to get in and out of creek bottoms without your bumper slowing you down.

With the addition of complete skid plate protection, this bumper stands alone at the top. The bumper is available for the Arctic Cat ProClimb M or ProCross F series. The bumper weighs in at 5 lbs with full skid plate. You also have the option of cutting the back half of the skid plate, losing more weight for the ultimate in front-end lightweight performance.

This bumper is available in black (Sure Foot Ice Free Coating) or unpainted for a custom build. 

The bumper/skid plate retail for $279.

Boyesen Full-Valve Rage Cage Available For Ski-Doo 800R

For 2013 Boyesen Engineering has introduced an all-new Full Valve RC2 Series Rage Cage, designed to increase overall horsepower and throttle response in 2008-13 Ski-Doo 800R sleds.

Boyesen’s new Full Valve Rage Cage has been crafted to eliminate the need to periodically change your stock intake system’s rubber intake boot due to delamination. The Full Valve Rage Cage system is offered as an upgrade to the current Half-Valve Rage Cage system, which allows use of the stock rubber intake boot. Both the Full Valve and Half Valve Ski-Doo 800R Rage Cage options perform the same while increasing horsepower and response. The major difference between the Full and Half Valve options is that the Full Valve design is a leading solution to the problem of intake boot deterioration failure, a leading cause of lean-condition and possibly critical engine failure in Ski Doo sleds.

Each Ski-Doo RC2 Series Rage Cage is “Performance Optimized,” meaning its tailor-made to each sled’s model, year and displacement. While other aftermarket valves might change flange sizes or bolt patterns, they’re basically generic, but with the Rage Cage, there are no compromises in power and no modifications required to fit the valve while upgrading your sled’s reed intake system.

The RC2 Series Rage Cage’s multi-stage reed petal system has been designed to increase throttle response and acceleration, while also broadening peak rpm horsepower output. The Rage Cage’s seamless, one-piece, precision casting and continuous aero-form surfacing provide maximum flow velocities and instant, explosive movement of air particles the moment you turn the throttle. Standard equipment on each Rage Cage are Boyesen’s dual-stage reed petals. The race-proven reed petals are integral in providing the superior ability to maintain timing with the power pulses of the Ski-Doo 800 R engine platform.

The MSRP of Boyesen’s Ski-Doo 800R, RC2 Rage Cage Intake Systems are:

Full Valve Design $329.95 (fits 2008-2013 Ski-Doo 800R); and Half Valve Design $289.95 (fits 2008-2013 Ski-Doo 800R).

New Snap-in Pre-Filter Kits From BRP

BRP Genuine Accessories offer the advantage of being designed hand in hand with the vehicles so their fit is exact and their finish is the same quality you expect from BRP and the new snap-in Pre-Filter is a prime example of this.

The kit includes five filters: bottom pan grill, lower pan cover plugs, hood grill and air box pre-filter.

The Pre-Filter Kit retails for $99.99 USD/$114.99 CAD.
