my proarmor is pretty strong i hit a tree going ~40 the other day and it didnt bend at all. Threw me like a ragdoll but the quad was fine.

i was just seeing what you huys thought because I was leaning towards the ims classic bumper, ims intimidator, or the ac stadium. I like that long type bumper, but thats just me.

pro armor bullhorn is my favorite

you dont want a rigid bumper, you want one that will bend when hit, this will save you from frame bending

as in, if you had a solid bumper, and hit something, the shock would go right through to the frame, instead of the bumper taking it
