With the lack of snow in some area's and lots in others I was wondering of any carnage yet this season? Pic's would be great. :confused:

Right lower A-Arm. Glad I had the Arm Candy braces on or would have lost a shock too. Was still rideable but sure liked right turns after that. A little time in the press and rode it with no problem the next day.

The Polaris lower a-arms, 2016-18 and also now the 19's have a very thin spot that bends just by catching a rock with a ski skag. When it does this they tend to "hockey stick" downward rather than bend back like mine did with the brace. When they bend without the brace they usually twist enough that the shock interferes and will get damaged if you keep riding. The Arm Candy braces beef the arms up enough to take small to medium hits but larger hits still bend the arms in the thicker portions.

will it cause other area's to bend instead?

This has been floating around for a while. Not 100% what happened but glad it wasn’t me. Nothing for me as of yet and I hope it stays that way.



What it’s suppose to look like.

I heard the guy hucked it off an 80 foot cliff and landed on a rock. The Cat landed on its feet...as always, but the rider broke every bone in his body.

she was just over $800 for the rails but sadly he only made it 6km up the trail the next dy and spun the drive shaft on the drivers. Not sure how but shut him down regardless
Wonder if alpha design could take a hit from stumpy?
