When shopping, consider the amount of coverage offered by the A-Arm Guards and the overall durability of the materials.
Consider how you use your Polaris Xpedition because the riding you do is one of the factors that will influence your choice. Are you a casual rider, or do you push the limits on the trails? If you primarily cruise groomed trails, a basic A-Arm Guard might suffice. However, aggressive riders or those tackling rocky terrain require heavy-duty protection. You can’t go serious off-roading and rock-climbing with those stock A-arms.
Take note of the materials these A-arms and guards are made from. A-arms are typically constructed from high-strength steel or aluminum. Steel offers durability, while aluminum provides weight savings. A-Arm Guards come in various materials, like UHMW plastic, which is lightweight and impact-resistant, or HDPE, which is known for its abrasion resistance. Consider the balance between weight, strength, and your riding conditions. Regarding budget, factor in the amount you want to spend on these A-arms and guards as you shop. Remember to have a scale of preference that allows you to do the relevant upgrades to your Polaris Xpedition first.
Ensure the A-Arms and A-Arm Guards you choose are designed for your Polaris Xpedition model year. This guarantees proper fit and functionality. Think about the installation process as well. Some options require modification to your vehicle, while others offer a bolt-on solution for easier installation.
Invest in A-Arms and A-Arm Guards from reputable manufacturers known for quality materials and craftsmanship. Look for brands that offer extended warranties as this is a demonstration of confidence in their products. User reviews and independent testing results can also provide valuable insights into the performance and durability of some brands.
