I've always run the gloss wraps but I'm considering the matte finish. It will be charcoal and black. What are your thoughts/experience with matte wraps? Do the trees leave marks on the matte wraps?

My vote is gloss. I had a gloss and it was easy to clean.
That's what I'm thinking. I would think the trees rubbing across the matte finish would scratch it. I would also think tree remnants would get imbedded?

I have had both and I like the matte better. It doesn't show the scratches and rubs no where near as bad as the gloss.

I would agree the matte will be a duller sheen and show less battle scars. I have a matte finish dip on my ATV plastics [hydro dipping]

I went with the Executioner matte wrap from Deviant Ink. Very pleased with the whole experience. But man... I forgot how much preparation and work goes into these things! Snow up here in Northern BC has been epic this season. We've been out every weekend except one since November 28th.

Those are the factory bars and riser on the 2020 SP. Surprisingly they are lower than I normally run. I got rid of the mountain strap, stayed with the stock riser this year and installed the Munster finger throttle... love it! I actually considered going lower. We'll see. Baby steps.
