Iceage rails?

[Melfjord]

My Stock rails are bent where the front torque arm connect to the rails. Are the iceage rails stronger? I hit decent jumps, and some landings are rough and hard. Some feedback would be great

Yes they are. IceAge also makes what they call the "Bomber" rails for the Pro that are even stronger for those that like to jump and do drops.

I'm interested in seeing a photo of your bent rails.

Were they bowed-out to the sides at all where they bent?

I've heard good things about the "bomber rails" but little fact your stock rails are technically Ice Age rails too. Ice Age makes rails for Polaris just with different specs as their own.

Definitely get the bomber rails. Two seasons on mine with plenty of big jumps and flat landings and they are still perfect.

that about sum it up?

from the facebook pic they put up.

stock, stock replacements, then the bombers.

I think I may know how this happened!

How is that?
Mine bent there, three sets

Seems to be holding now

Here is the picture. The rails looks worse irl. The buttom of the rails is tweeked

Here's mine from one season of riding. Like someone else mentioned, it looks worse in person.

We went with IceAge rails. Ordered Monday, showed up Thursday. Wheels and all!

I believe that for those that ride hard... a couple more cross shafts will go a long way to keeping the rails from bending.

Once the rail "bows" out a bit...even the bomber rails... it's toast! The cross shafts keep that from happening.

First they bow out.. then they bend... then you buy new ones.

Cross braces And/Or rail reinforcements will help keep that from happening.

Ice age has a new X-Brace that works real well at keeping things locked down though it may collect some ice... Paint it!

Strengthen your stock or IceAge rails with the IceAge billet X-Brace. Provides increased torsional strength that far exceeds that of cross shafts or rail stiffners. Designed to mount between the rear suspension torque arm and rear idler wheels or between the front and rear torque arms.Applicable to all stock and IceAge rails.

That X Brace is kinda cool except for the price.

I ordered an extra cross shaft and bolts as preventative measure for my Pro. It looks like all of the bent rails I have seen are bent or bowed out between the rear scissor mount to the rails, and the front torque arm mount to the rails. Question: I have holes in my rails for accessory bogies behind the front torque arm. The upper hole looks like a poor choice as the pull rod will contact a shaft installed there. How about the lower hole in the rails, do you know if the pull rod will move into that position at full compression?

Only way to know is if you pull the springs off your shocks and cycle the suspension until it bottoms out front and back.

The way those are bent looks to me like a hard landing, back end heavy, and off to one side.

 

[Melfjord]

mount them in the bottom hole

I'm wondering if the bomber rails are worth it or should I just go with their standard rails?
