that is ridiculus,there is a big problem there. Just think most of us dont even race,and if there products cant hold up to hard core trail riding theres something wrong. But there products seem to hold up on the MXcircuit, and crosscountry races on other quads.I still have the stock bumper on mine, ithink it looks better than all the after maket ones i have seen except for those ones from across the pond but they wanted too much for shipping. I want a blingstar ironcross bumper for mine,i am trying to contact them to see if they will make a bumper for the 700xx. there victory bumper would look awsome on the 700xx too,it is v shaped to fit the lines on the 700xx better.
