Bumpers to prevent bent tunnels??

[BubbleNuts]

I think rogue concepts might be the toughest option.

Like strongest you mean?

Yes, they bend around the top edge of tunnel as well. There are quite a few pics on his website. I have rogue bumpers on our Polaris sleds but I have seen Josh’s (owner of rogue) cat and they are nice.

I’m just trying to decide if I need one or not. I’m a newer rider and this will be my second year on my alpha. And 3rd on a sled. Not sure what causes tunnel bends and whether I need one for a 165 that isn’t a wheelie beast. Do you know where to get them in Canada or should I just email rogue concepts

Usually what will bend them is a tail landing from a jump.
Best way to get in touch would probably be to send an email

It can still happen with a bumper :/

U think it would have been worse with stock bumper?

who knows. Bent is bent. It's basically purely aesthetic anyway. I wouldn't make it a priority to put a bumper on, this sled did 1600+ miles stock no issues

True. I would like some kind of test to see what I takes to bend a stock bumper vs aftermarket. Hydraulic press are a video of a guy pushing sleds to bend them

it's no biggie. 30 rivets and $180 tunnel piece
