Deciding on a bumper

[mat1977]

Need help deciding on a bumper,My local shop has the Black Blingstar iron cross one (kinda played out,but still sick looking IMO)Any ideas on what would look good before I spend my hard earned $?

[NacsMXer]

Lots of choices, but I think the IMS classic like this would go well with the black

That, or maybe a blackline would look good too

I would say the AC black line would look the best, only thing is the screens in them aint worth a dime, they will fall out after so much riding

[Gray33]

Hey man go with the black ac one it is pretty nice looking and reasonable price of 69 dollars

I would say the best one would be TAG. But if you wanted tag buy a Rock racing bumper. They make a TAG replica bumper looks just like it and sells for only $60. www.motorsport.com sells them

[Gray33]

ya them iron cross run for 100-120 dollars and the ac or tag 60-69 so you could save some money there and buy a set of racing gear or something

[TWISTED DINLI]

i think the blingstar ironcross would look the best on there.

Possibly the only DG product I'll ever consider buying, that's the bumper I'm getting when I get some more MONEY.

[DF400ex]

I bought this one on Ebay for $70. It's awesome, and unlike some, you can actually hold on to it to move your quad.

The Ironcross is weak but looks real good. I would go with the PRM Summit.

[CHEVYZ]

Rock has a new bumper that looks alot like the TAG bumpers, but it's only 59.99. Definately not the strongest, but it looks good and has a nice price.

I like the IMS bumpers, too.

I've got the black one. and its hella strong, I already hit a cement post that luckily wasn't in the ground hardly, but anyway it just scuffed up a tiny little spot and the post also went into my stock right lower a arm. so I figure if it was a hard enough hit to bend my a arm, and only leave a small scuff on the bumper, its plenty strong enough for me.

That's the problem! You don't want a bumper that's so strong that it breaks your frame instead of just bending, that's why you want weaker bumpers, going through bumpers is easy, going through frames is..well...not so easy :p

[mat1977]

I went w/ the Blingstar black iron cross,couldn't resist:devil:I'm gonna post a pic after I put it on and go for a ride later.Thanks for all the ideas, nice quads out there guys...(Quadjunkies,that thing is NIIIIIICE !!)

But I still want a bumper thats goin to hold up when I hit a tree or somebody else

[DF400ex]

A friend of mine hit a tree pretty hard with a Pro Armor Bull horn style bumper and his wheeler was fine. It bent the bumper up pretty bad, but protected his frame and shocks like it was supposed to... and he hit HARD. His wheeler flipped up hitting the tree and broke the lights and front plastics. I've hit some small trees and such with mine and other than a few scratches it's in great shape. I too had an Iron cross bumper on my old EX but it broke when my brother hit a tree. :)

The whole point is to get a bumper that is strong, but not stronger than your frame. This way your bumper takes the brunt of the collision and isn't so strong that it cracks your frame. Bumpers are a lot cheaper than some frame repairs. You also want to make sure that you can grab it to pick the front of your wheeler up in case you get stuck or what ever. And of course... it has to look good!

That is why I got an aluminum bumper, cuz it's softer than my steel frame, but still strong enough to do it's job.

[Eviltanker]

thumped another quad on the trail and only bent a little. Was able to smack it with a hammer and make it straight again.

[lilrohito]

cant go wrong with the blingstar with iron middle its the shizznat

[eliasxr400]

Here is the tusk bumper from rocky mountain atv.

[450rJam]

I like the blingstar standard, I night ride and this one dont block the light.
