Not sure about Duncan, but I got my Tag which is very similar for $109 from ATV Addiction...

If the Tag is too high, better steer clear of the Duncan. You're looking at upwards of $150 at Duncan.

Thats a damn good looking bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the duncan buumper is very hard to bend or break. they are the one of the lightest but strongest bumpers out. They are about 150 or 140.00 anywheres. Try to get a rider support program from duncan racing maybe they can get ya a better deal on bumpers.. very nice bumeprs.. the chrome finish lasts ahwhile! those tags are a duncan copy and arent nearly as strong

I dont think anybody has said yet if the Tag bumper is chrome or polished aluminum.

Its polished aluminium and I can tell its a very strong bumper.

How about a big fat no on that one...I suppose they are alot stronger than AC's bumpers too?

During practice on a half mile track, a kid on another 400 spun out in front of me at about 55 miles an hour. He was sitting totally backwards pointed right at me in the groove, and I nailed him head on, at a bit of an angle, at probably 15 mph. His Duncan bumper krinkled back so far that it dented the sway bar, and my AC just bent up and back a little bit and snapped off the crappy stock bolts. Now you tell me which is stronger...

I doubt that. Sorry but that Duncan looks extremely weak to me.

Ok...well, this is all the damage it did to my bumper, and it totally destroyed the Duncan...looked like it had been hit by a dump truck.

Maybe when one of you guys run a duncan bumper you can talk, I ran one and it was the strongest bumper I ahve ever seen, it may not look it, but why doy uo think tis so expensive and they wasted all the time and moeny to chrome? Its the best egt over it

Maybe when you run into one at 20 miles an hour you will see...

Mine didn't crumple up like the Duncan though...It looked nice BEFORE though...:o
04-04-2003, 05:07 PM
the duncan sticks out a ways though, less support but still stronger then a ac, i know form experince u cant prove me wrong, and 20 mile an hour hitting another quad wuld bend any bumper

That's the Kawasaki KX250 quad. Only a handful built for the GNC team. I'd like to see them strap on some +2's and take that thing to a full blown MX track.

On the bumper argument; I can't really say anything about the Duncan... Personally, I think it looks the best. I know I bashed my AC a couple times on my Shee and it never bent. AC has a good product, but I believe the Duncan to be more of a 'show' type bumper.

Besides.. It wouldn't matter how strong the thing is if you guys knew how to ride.:rolleyes: hehe :D

Hey now, you try to go around a guy on a one lane TT track...do you know how powdery that stuff above the groove is? :eek2: :p

A stronge bumper, is a good item to have! And i agree that the Duncan, and the PRm's are some of the best out there, But you have to watch out when u hit somthing hard with your bumper it could shear the bolts off, or mess-up your frame, If the bumper is as tough as people say it is!

I know that my ac, has been threw hell 2 times over now, But it did its job, it moved back almost flush with my plastic, It took most of the hit from the tree, and protected my frame!
