Mine bent, but my bike flipped about 150 feet. I told my dad he was too old to ride a quad that fast. LOL It scared the crap out of me when he wrecked it, he had amnesia for about 45 minutes, and had a concussion. Times like those make you realize whats important in your life.


Anyway, most stock axles are very weak, its just a matter of time before they bend, unless your a putter.
