B&M Bumper Follow Up

[AndrettiDog]

I did a search and found a lot of people are using the B&M rear bumper. I broke my stock carbon fiber bumper (three sleds with this bumper and one finally broke). I backed into a tree on a hill. Anyway, I just wanted to see if guys are happy with that bumper. I wasn't crazy on how long it is or how expensive, but if it helps with tunnel support that seems like a good idea. Also, anyone get orange that can tell me if it matches Polaris orange very well?

Anyone else get a different rear bumper that they like?

I have the B&M Fab rear bumper on my 17 Axys 163. Fit and finish is great, it looks good, and it's strong. I'm very happy with it. My buddy has the Skinz Next Level and it looks like a middle school shop class did the welding.

Like bowtie stated, fit and finish is spot on, I highly recommend this bumper, I recently endoed my sled and bent my tunnel, straightened the carnage and put the new BM bumper on and cannot even tell, I wish I would of had the bumper on before with the side tunnel support my carnage would have never occurred.

I LOVE mine. I really dont think you could beat the quality.

I was concerned with the length of the first style they built- the updated version is much better (the tube is just as far back but raised and the sideplates are shorter). I see zero issues with the length, and the tunnel now appears to be exponentially stronger. The front bumper is a nice addition as well, fit is great (quality of the welds too) and the thing can take a HIT, no doubt in my mind that it saved me from an insurance claim in the making. I would highly recommend both.

Matches Polaris orange very well. My buddy has it.
Another friend of mine recently put his tunnel up against a tree and if it wasn't for BMFAB to the rescue he would be singing a much different tune right now with still plenty of riding left to be had this season.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like this might be the way to go.

If you are going to go over and orange tunnel it way look a little different for some reason. If it's a black tunnel the orange will look perfect comparatively. I might have orange on the shelf if that's what you're looking for. It's good to see the others in this thread are liking them as much as we do. After setting up this year's version we realized that the first design was goofey looking.

Is everyone buying directly through B&M or through a dealer? Sometimes dealer pricing is a little better.

They have dealers as well. You can do both. If you have a local guy you like to send business then go that route or order online. All that matters is that you get one!! Ha.

This is my favorite a Van Amburg Enterprises rear bumper super stout and nicely made. But yes they are speedy.

There is non better than a B&M rear bumper for a Polaris. They designed the bottom lip to contour with the tunnel so you don't have to worry about it rolling up any more.

Also the top is also contoured with the tunnel to give even more support. Then it run the length of the tunnel up to the boards.

It gives strength everywhere Polaris did not. It is strong yet light and the fit/finish is ridiculous! Every time I install one I just shake my head with how good it is.

Love them! O and that front bumper is also the cats meow! We do not play nice in the woods and it has been taking a beating!
