Best rear bumper

09HillclimbSpecial · Oct 11, 2015

I am thinking of putting on a different rear bumper and need some input on which ones are available and work the best.

I just put the Polaris rear bumper on mine. I really like it. Doesn't require you to drill any holes in your sled, but still have four bolts holding it on each side. The bump on the snowflap also rests right against the grab bar. So should be no issue getting your hands in if your stuck. Best of all it comes in many different colours. So there was no need for me to go down and get it powder coated the colour I wanted.

Lots of good offerings out there.... I've yet to see a Bad one in the bunch.

There are some that are available that also integrate more tunnel support at the rear. I believe that VanAmburg will have this design available.

I've used the Happy Face Products billet rear bumper on my ProRide... they have two lengths... short and long arm (155" & 163")

The long arm will also bolt to the 155" tunnel with new holes drilled and give you more support and load distribution pulling on the bumper.

I was impressed with the sturdy construction.

No pics yet mounted to the AXYS...but I'm told that it is very straight forward.

I like the skinz next level rear bumper because the hoop you lift on is higher and when stuck, it's less bending down , better to grab.

B&M Fabrications · Oct 12, 2015

I've never understood that concept. When my rear bumper is 5 feet down in a hole it's the last thing I want to dig for. Not knocking the concept just doesn't work for me. We will build our bumper to have a raised bar if that's what people want.

All the after market bumpers are great. I just find the raised part of the skinz, better for grabbing when stuck with gloves and when the snow flap is straight back its just a bit less digging. Imo. If others have the raised grab bar I would haved looked at them.

What is this "stuck" thing everyone speaks of? :face-icon-small-ton O wait, that is what my buddies are doing behind me!

Alright alright... Carry on!

its just when the snowflap is rammed up aganist the bumper and its a royal pita to get your fingers in there to get a grip on it, its been a issue on this lightweight flap we now have, need a "step" in the crossbar so the flap cant totally press aganist the bumper all the way across

I agree it's a necessity to have the bumper raked up in the back for deep powder riding. It's no fun when you have a three foot trench and your grab handle is wedged between hard snow and a snowflap.

Here is the ZBROZ rear bumper. Has built in tunnel support and removable rack system

I talked with Nate Zollinger this morning and they are in the sheet metal process yet so a few more weeks yet. Front bumpers are slightly ahead of the rears in production process.

Pretty lightweight and functional. I'm pretty stoked.

I liked the raised bumper from skinz on my pro. Like people have said, it is nice to be able to grab the bumper when you trench it. Digging out with my shovel is usually a last option. Maybe I'm lazy but I don't like getting it out.

Should be the same as our Doo version.
175 for matte black for the 155 and 163" sleds, color options extra.
