Polaris Monarch bumper any good?

[powwow]

Seems kinda light. Not sure if it really helps with impact. I had the old polaris extreme and it was super weak. Seems to be the same thickness of metal. Maybe stronger with the different tubing used? Anyone have one of these? Don't want to spend $300 just for grab handles and looks. Thanks

I have on one of my sleds. I really like it because the fit and finish are perfect. They are light too. Like most bumpers, you can destroy it but likely will save the pipe. Definitely more protection than stock. Make sure you glue the plastic plugs in the tube ends though or you may lose them. I just put a skinz bumper on my 21 because I already had it in stock. Way more install work and not sure it will be any stronger.

think im gonna try the itek bumpers this year ..
I really like bm fab .. but by the time you get them to canada, the price gets a bit ridiculous

I tested the BM fab bumper to it limits. It was expensive but probably saved me buying a pipe and nose cone.

Still cracked the hood and broke the tab off the over structure.

I like the Monarch - full version last year it wasn't available for a while and they only offered the upper version ....full version seems sturdy enough and a decent amount of protection ...only downside is it's hard to grab onto...
