Best bumper for pro??

[boondocker163]

Im looking at getting a skinz bumper of my '11 pro. I was wondering what everybody thinks is the best one? or if i should stick with the skniz....

Are you looking for front or rear? I loved my Skinz rear bumper.

Putting VEI bumpers on the 11 and the 13 this year. Mike makes a great product and is a stand up guy.

Front Skins for sure!

 

[boondocker163]

We have the skinz in stock if thats what you decide.

Skinz front and rear..... the only way to go.

The TCP bumper is nice because it doesn't have "ears" that can get caught on trees.

Check out B&M Fabrications. It attaches the bumper to the frame of the pro.

Fastrax, the original 4130 Chrome Moly bumper.

Vanamburg makes one that not only mounts to the tabs but also to the bolt behind it. Super strong. Plus the lower bar is one piece instead of the hokie stock 2 piece. CoyoteGirl hit a big tree with hers last year with no damage done.

This is the best pic I have of it, but you can see the tabs and the one piece lower.

Thanks

I personaly am gonna go with the B&M Fabrications bumpers front and rear, i got to talk to the guys fora good amount of time. Great guys and seem like stand u guys, nothing against the other optionsout there, i'm sure there all good! I'm a newbie to the PRO RMK this year, just hope i really love it...

TCP is what I would go for.

VanAmburg is the ONLY bumper that I've seen that eliminates the bolt-joint 2 piece design of the stock bumper down tube.

No matter how strong the top mounts are designed/made, that bolt-joint will fold like a tin can in an impact and push the pipe into the can.

my 2 cents.

Good thread,
I think it depends on what you think you want.

A bumper thats bomber and directs the force of impact into the chassis or a bumper that deforms to absorb the energy.

Here's a couple not listed yet.

Van amburgs bumper looks good specially if the attachment points are made to breakaway or deform on impact.

Polaris makes one as well!

The VE bumpers are NOT made with breakaway attachments...having seen the VE bumpers take SEVERAL tree impacts, the bumper deformed and took the impact with NO damage to any other components. (this is FIRST HAND experience).

I've seen several other bumpers after the fact, and they ALL folded at the bolt joint.

Sounds like a winner, sacrfice the bumper for the other components. Got to like the looks of the VE rear bumper as well.
