Anybody have pictures of a 450r with the Pro Armor XC front bumper? Can't decide between it or the bullhorn bumper.

Pro Armor XC Bumper

This is the best bumper I have run yet. I have the Bull Horn to try next year. This is the first bumper that lasted me a whole year of riding and racing.

ive run the bullhorn bumper for about a year and half and its really screwed me over a couple of times. because it gets hooked on trees really easy and its a BIATch to get off. im planning on getting the pro armor XC bumper for next season.

mine befor a headon.we hit pretty hard it bent my tie rod and frame but the pro armor only bent alittle.I was able to fix it with a ratchet strap.The frame on the other hand is a different story:(

dont know how that could happen i find them to bend very easy right where the loops on the sides weld on the bottom they just crush like a beer can the bullhorn is the better of the two pro armors

ive got the pro armor xc, its held up well, taken some decent hits.

i'd rather have the bumper bend and take the impact, compared to transfering the impact to the frame.

and i wouldnt want to get hit by that bullhorn bumper, in a crash = impailed!!

Pro Armor is good quality, and you dont want the frame to bend, bumper is way cheaper than new frame

Thats were mine bent but only a little maybe back 1/2 inch.I used a 10000 lb ratchet to straighten it.If you ask me theyre built pretty darn stong.

450ERRRRRR!

I have the bullhorn bumper. I dont recommend it if you xc race. I went down a steep valley and as I started back up the bottom of the bumper caught on a rock and bent the bottom brackets up to the frame and broke them. I thought I was going over the bars! It happened because the proarmor bumpers stick out too far from the frame.Of course I started looking at other bumpers after this happened.Just my 2 cents.
